Discussed this with a few friends recently. Fully aware that there is medication to control the viral load in the bloodstream, to a point where it cannot be dedicated by blood tests and is therefore safe enough to have sex. I'd like to think I'd be compassionate and would definitely be open to dating someone with HIV, but there is still that fear I have of contracting it and facing the stigma attached to living with HIV. That's probably extremely ignorant, especially since I know there is medication to control the illness, but I just can't help it.
Would you date a person with HIV? Would your reaction be circumstantial? Let's add another question to it, how would you react if you found out/your partner revealed their illness to you?
No. I don't want to put myself as risk and to be completely honest, of you were dumb enough to contract it by having unsafe sex, I don't want any of it. It just shows poor life decisions.
No
If someone revealed this too me down the line of a relationship I would definitely end it
tell your partner you have it the first day-- It's just too risky for myself..
No. I don't want to put myself as risk and to be completely honest, of you were dumb enough to contract it by having unsafe sex, I don't want any of it. It just shows poor life decisions.
What about people who are raped and contract it from there? Is it also their fault and their poor life decisions.
I would date them. The fact that they open up about it tells me they're honest enough. But I'd hesitate to do anything sexual with them so any relationship with an HIV+ person wouldn't last long for me as I'm quite sexual.
No. I don't want to put myself as risk and to be completely honest, of you were dumb enough to contract it by having unsafe sex, I don't want any of it. It just shows poor life decisions.
NO
