I'm talking to this guy and i kinda like him he has told me he likes me and that he is HIV+ and he went through treatment and isn't contagious (don't know how that works) but i've never dated a HIV+ guy and it's kinda scary. Got me curious to see if anyone has been in this same situation.
Dated HIV+ guys before - both were up front with me when we started seeing each other, and played it safe. If you really like him - please give him a shot. If anything, the fact that he's up front with you shows he's an honest, good person, and that he likes you back. Have fun!
I dated an HIV+ guy (I've known him for over 4 years, and he told me about it when it happened. He helped me realize I was gay) over the summer before but it didn't actually get to anything sexual.
He went to college before we had the chance to even consider sex.
I just consider it a summer fling since nothing came about it.
He still likes me though since he snapchats me a lot.
I have before, he told me his status too I think there is a lot of irrational fear as well as warranted fear.
If a guy is telling you his status then you already know what you're dealing with and that way you can take the necessary steps.
It's not for everyone but you have to respect a mans honesty when they're already dealing with a smaller pool than the average gay male.
For those who are still unsure, an HIV+ person can achieve undetectable levels after undergoing antiretroviral therapy. A level of a person's viral load is what causes them to be more (detectable) or less likely (undetectable) to transmit the virus.
You sound like you need a better understanding of HIV. I'd research more before proceeding further with the relationship. Whether that's by yourself (I'd avoid the internet) or just simply asking the person with HIV themselves, or visiting a clinic.
