I don't think I would be able to handle the simple
pressures of the relationship, so no. But if I loved them, I would.

I wouldn't leave someone, but that's not the question posed by the OP.
If someone knew they had cancer and a strong likelihood of dying as a result but continued to actively date I would consider that person selfish. It's a sad situation which I hope you or I never find ourselves in but no one has the right to impose their burdens on anyone else. I'm glad the guy mentioned in the OP was honest about his situation but wouldn't it have been better to tell them before they've spent the night growing attached?
The very fact this thread exists is evidence enough, the OP is now caring the weight of this persons illness BEFORE they've even committed to a relationship.
are you that desperate? come the fuck on. there are a few billion pieces of ass out there without a disease that will slowly murder you.
I'm sure you'd be laughing all the way to your grave.
You expect HIV+ people to tell someone right away that they have HIV so that the person can then make a choice whether of not to take on the "burden?"
So should HIV+ people just wear pieces of flair o that we can just see them from a distance and not get to know thm at all?
That's a massive necrobump.
Yeaah, so sorry to necro bump this topic, but I've recently reading up on mixed status couples and the things they have to deal with, I admit that I didn't know a lot about HIV and how it works before, but heres some things that I learned:
1. People on ART ( anti retro viral) drugs, and have achieved undetectable status are extremely unlikely to give away the virus, in fact there are 2 studies called the Swiss Statement and the PARTNER Study that suggest that it's impossible for an undetectable person to give it away.
2. HIV, while a serious virus, is pretty easy to avoid.
3. HIV positive people can go on the have children without fear of passing it on due to advancements in medicine.
4. There are drugs call Prep( pre exposure) and PeP ( post exposure) that negative people can take to reduce that chances of getting it.
So knowing all of this, I would say yeah I would. HIV is a shitty, yet manageable virus that some people have to deal with, just like any other disease. If I liked that person, and she or he was staying healthy, then that wouldn't scare me away.
Would you date someone who necrobumped a 9 year old thread?
Damn, they actually told you that?I wanted to start a thread, but I'm perma juinored

That's a bold statement but you do you. I don't think the two are quite comparable, but I'm no doctor.HIV isn't the scary monster it once was. I'd be more likely to date someone with HIV than Hep C, to be honest

I've spent my entire life trying to avoid even mild sexually transmitted diseases so no. Not even once.

Dude I got some bad news, you probably have an STD (herpes) and you don't know about it yet.I've spent my entire life trying to avoid even mild sexually transmitted diseases so no. Not even once.

Herp, the HIV, all the same right?Dude I got some bad news, you probably have an STD (herpes) and you don't know about it yet.

It is, for like $80,000.Isn't Hep C curable though?
Why would anyone be in a relationship with you if all you care about is yourself?I also wouldn't. Have to watch out for myself. There are plenty of other girls out there
A "hard pass", fucking hell. That's a human being you're talking about.She's get a hard pass from me. There are plenty of other women that are free from infection.
Look in the mirror if you're surprisedCan you imagine being an HIV+ GAF member, opening this thread up and feeling your stomach sink as you read through all these ignorant comments?
