   <p>Hi <inline-mention username="CommunityMembereea93c" user-id="8886743"/>. Many here understand your experience and it is completely understandable to want to make a human connection and be accepted for you. Living with HIV is often isolating and the stigma is real and can lead to feelings that no one is understanding, but know there are many in similar situations and a common struggle. I want to share with you a couple of articles dealing with the topic of dating with HIV. This one from our editorial team (<a href='https://h-i-v.net/dating' target='_blank'>https://h-i-v.net/dating</a>) and this one from our patient leader Davina (<a href='https://h-i-v.net/living/dating-apps' target='_blank'>https://h-i-v.net/living/dating-apps</a>). Are there any local groups or networks where you can work on simply connecting with people? Hopefully others here will chime in with their thoughts and experiences. Wishing you the best and please know that you are always welcome here. Richard (Team Member)</p>

   <p><inline-mention username="CommunityMembereea93c" user-id="8886743"/> I want you to know that you are not alone. After my partner passed away, I struggled to find someone who would accept me for who I am. Eventually, I did, and we have been together for 25 years. <br/><br/>Remember, you are not alone in this. You are part of a larger community, a community that shares your experiences and understands your hope. Let us know how you are doing. <br/><br/>Robert Brunet - (Team Member)</p>

   <p>Alafia (Peace) I want you to know I hear you. It is a difficult journey to be on because we all deserve to love and be loved. Part of that may include educating the folks around us and especially the folks we are interested. Believe me, that is not easy. Thank you for sharing and keep your heart open to love.
