I voted yes. I could see myself having sex with a girl (using a condom) who had HIV. And I'd respect the hell out of a girl who had the character and integrity to tell me up front. Obviously if someone cared enough about me to tell me something like that up front (and the relationship had reached that point) I would be a pretty significant person in their life. If they told me it's because they care deeply about me and are trying to protect me as best they can, not cause me any harm. They have my best interests at heart. Think about it, if someone had HIV, do you think they'd be spending their time with just anyone? They've probably had enough relationships turn sour over telling people to be a little jaded. You'd mean a lot to someone for them to go out on a limb like that knowing the relationship could end then and there. Imagine the fear, perhaps embarrassment, and potential humiliation, pain, and ridicule they could be subjecting themselves to in such a situation telling someone they cared deeply for they're HIV+. They won't know how you'll react, but they are putting their trust in you that you'll be understanding. I wouldn't overlook someone because of that setback. In fact, I'd probably admire them moreso because they could have hidden it. I definitely wouldn't end a relationship with a chick who was HIV+ solely because there would be limits/precautions on what we could do together sexually.

I'm really saddened by the negative and demeaning nature of some members' comments. Those who are HIV+ are real people, with real emotions, feelings and love. They feel joy, pain, and love the same as the rest of us do. They are no less deserving of understanding, compassion, and love than anyone else. No less.

Please have some respect and decency, whichever way you lean on this matter. It's not like anyone ever asked to be HIV+.

Bro, I really, really respect than and could not have put it in better words.
 
For your information it is very very hard for a man to catch HIV from a woman through sexual intercourse. Both the man AND the women would have to have some kind of skin breakage ( cut ) in the area of the genitals or a person would not catch the virus. I had an ex girlfriend catch the disease after I stopped going out with her and so have donme some studying on the subject. I have also had sex with her on a couple of occasions with a condome and have had little worry about catching tyhe virus because of what I know about the chances of catching it that way. A woman is much more likely to catch it from a man than a man is from a women at the worst of times. A person could have unprotected sex with a female that had it and still not catch it in other words unless the conditions were just right - with protection a person is literally almost totally safe - so the guy who wants to stick it to Britney would have no worries should he use the proper protection - guaranteed. It is mostly peoples ignorance on this subject that increases their fear of having even protected sex with someone who is HIV positive. I hope this helps some to understand better the facts of the situation.

My wife has hiv and I love her with all my heart. She is my whole world and life. I know that I am protected when I make love to her. These people that are so afraid are very unedecated. My wife is the must important person in my life and I love her. Nothing will come between our love. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I'm not worried about it. You can email me privately anytime if you want to talk to me. Everybody else should get more educated about this problem.

^^Agree with pgrimmydog


Being HIV+ does not mean that your life is over or that you should be treated any differently. If you know someone is HIV+ and are also aware of their lifestyle then the risk can be reduced so that you can still have a sexual relationship. It does not mean that there is no risk but atleast you can both make an informed decision.

There are countless couples, heterosexual and gay, who carry on normal relationships despite the fact that one of them is HIV+. The reason for this is because they know their partner's lifestyle, they understand the associated risks, and they have educated themself on the topic. Wearing a condom only makes you more responsible. It does not make you educated.

This should be interesting.

Well a very good question.
Here two situations arise

1) When both people are infected
2)


Lets take both cases

1) 1) When both people are infected
WHAT IF BOTH PEOPLE ARE ALREADY INFECTED?
Some people who are HIV-infected don't see the need to follow safer sex guidelines when they are sexual with other infected people. However, it still makes sense to "play safe". If you don't, you could be exposed to other sexually transmitted infections such as herpes or syphilis. If you already have HIV, these diseases can be more serious.

Also, you might get "re-infected" with a different strain of HIV. This new version of HIV might not be controlled by the medications you are taking. It might also be resistant to other HIV antiviral drugs. There is no way of knowing how risky it is for two HIV-positive people to have unsafe sex. Following the guidelines for safer sex will reduce the risk.


2) When only one partner is affected

If two people are having safe sex then, even if one person is infected, there is no possibility of the other person becoming infected.

So in both cases the conclusion is practice safe sex.
