To answer your question, yes, I would date someone who is HIV positive. But then in dating I treat everyone as if they're positive and apply the appropriate precautions. Also, I test every three months after each intimate encounter (since 1987) and still test negative.
I love the fact that you guys touched on this topic because for those who are dating there are so many factors that we have to unearth when we meet someone. I'm not sure if you all have ever heard of it, but I just recently watched a documentary called "House of Numbers" All I can say is when It was over I was FLOORED at the information. I recommend everybody see this film.
@Teddybeer42: The basic point about using a condom apart from birth control is assuming that the person you are fucking with could be positive or have other STDs. So I understand being worried or frightened, when you actually know about the other person's status, but I no longer accept people protecting themselves on the assumption that the other person's not positive, because from my point of view, that is just ignorant and has more to do with yourself and not someone who's positive.
if you'd use a condom none of this was your problem its just stupid to just fuck with everyone without using a condom come on this disease is among us for almost 30 years!!!!!
i dated a girl with HIV and at the time she just wouldn't want to do it and i always wondered y, but she told me after we split up bc she was scared of what i would say to her or other ppl, and ya i was shocked about it but then after i was a bit angered at the fact that she didn't tell me, i would have still dated her, i am HIV Negative.
I am hiv+ and I am currently dating the best woman that God has ever created. I am a heterosexual man and I found out that I was positive 2mos ago. I was exposed to HIV from this girl that I was seeing for about 7mos. She never told me that she was a carrier, why I don't know, because I was feeling her so much that I could have learned about it voluntary. Having HIV does not mean the end of the world. If a person really is for you they will be by your side. Please get educated.
I wouldn't date a person with that disease, simply because they have the disease, I would not want to be sexually involved with them. Its really sad because you never know who has it unless they tell you...so you could actually be dating someone that has it RIGHT NOW...and just not know it. I try to be open-minded and I would appreciate the fact that they shared it with me and we could be very good friends but no sex. I am already very careful about who I have sex with now as it is .
It depends on how I feel about them, honestly. If we can be safe,maybe. After we got involved emotionally, I might stay. Life is so complicated. Who can say.? If I had it I would not want to be discriminated on my whole life or be shut out from love. I don't want to be ignorant. But, I would be a little put of at first. I am human. I am HIV negative and not sexually active by choice. I'm trying to get on a new level in my life and evaluate the difference between love and sex. It's an eye opener.
well,i think it would be hard to date some with the virus.because i am scared to put my life at risk.Suppose they give me the virus and we separated,then they messed up my life 4 nothing
I definitely will not date an hiv carrier but i will be friends with one and with regards to the person not telling you, with everything i have learnt about the disease i sure wont be having unprotected sex with someone i dont know their status.
that dude says he would have to be crazy to date someone with hiv, so dumb for him to say and just shows his character, so many folks are uneducated about this situation
i am hiv+ but heres a short story before i became hiv+ i meet this guy and after a week of us talking he told me he was hiv+ and i turned him down. But then i meet this guy shortly after and we started vibing and he lied and told me he didn't have hiv. But after 6months we started having sex unprotected and I contracted hiv. At first it was hard to take in but I am ok now it's been a year and 3 months since I found out and more years to come God willing. I am dating someone hiv- and i'm in love.

Right now our Black Brothas and Sistas are being targeted in Normandy Missouri where it is "predominately black" to take a flawed test. Check this video out watch?v=Flx4eZdleGg and see how this young brotha is being humiliated.
Planned Parenthood is incharge of the testing going on there.
"It is an organization that shared 11 board members in common with the American Eugenics Society (AES) and placed six AES council members on its Citizen's Advisory Committee, including the afore-mentioned Harry Laughlin. What is the name of the organization? Back then it was called the American Birth Control League. Today it is called Planned Parenthood"
"A major problem with the Western Blot that has never been assessed before is the fact that it cross reacts with other microbes. People who have certain auto immune disorders, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis for instance, have been known to test positive for HIV even though they are not infected. The Bio/Technology paper demonstrates how the test can cross react with other microbes, including ones as common as malaria and TB."
"Targeted prevention is also provided people of color. The Mobile Testing Unit (MTU) program targets the areas of Saint Louis showing the highest prevelance of HIV infection in an effort to reduce transmission rates within & around those zip codes. Targeted Case Management programs reach out to those in often underserved minority populations to provide support services and education."
"Since 1993, more than half of all newly diagnosed AIDS cases are counted among people who are not sick."
"While there is no evidence that Hiv/Aids cocktail therapies produce clinical health benefits, well- documented side effects include headache, fever , nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, oral lesions, abdominal pain, severe fatigue, sexual dysfunction, general ill feeling, skin rashes, a hyper sensitivity reaction that can result in sudden death."
"nervous system damage, enlarged liver , liver failure, kidney stones, kidney sludge, physical deformities including hunch backs , sunken cheeks, and " stick - like limbs ," diabetes, heartdisease, "unmasking" of various opportunistic infections including CMV retinitis (a viral infection which can lead to blindness) , & spontaneous bleeding in hemophiliacs."
I'm not saying not to get tested. But what I am saying is educate yourself first before you do. If you need more info hit me up Hotep.
maybe the fear of rejection would be the reason that people may with hold the truth. when is it ever a gd time 2 tell somebody that u have HIV.There really isnt.u just need 2 hope you have a gd base to go on.but lets face it in an ideal world no body would want 2 date a person with HIV but i guess theres no such thing as an ideal world.and like Katintransit says thats just one of many std's and even if you both dont have HIV theres 100s of other things u can pass on.so ether way Rap it up.
I honestly would date someone who had HIV, if they told me before we had sexual intercourse. I'm always safe when I have sex but being honest about their status would definitely seal the deal with me if initially I was feeling that person. I would have to be feeling them on a major level though. I feel that an individual was given that status, they didn't create it themselves. Stigma stings, and I think that everyone deserves a wonderful quality of life this includes being loved by another
Interesting, but I'm going to put this out there. another disease that carries stigma and maybe even more stigma than HIV is herpes. I hear from alot of individuals that they would kill someone if they gave them herpes, even if they didn't know they had it. But I hear from more people that if they heard a person they liked had HIV or were dating them, they would ultimately stay. It's very interesting.
Very interestinged topic. I have dated someone with HIV before and was not infected. I stayed in the relationship because I was in love and prayed everyday that the Lord would continue to guide my life as he has for my 31 years being HIV-. I think that I would date someone that is positive but not up front. If I'm going to get HIV than I think that is how my life is designed. I'm not asking, but I believe all of our lives have already been planned out for us. Kiss, Kiss.
Very good video, the truth of the matter is each time you have relations with someone you must protect yourself. Very few share there status positive or negative. Bless ya London for discussing the topic.
Interesting points. I'm HIV negative myself...I'm very aware and educated in HIV transmission and the different ways it can show up and affect those who happen to be HIV positive. Because of this, I always assume the person I've dated is positive until proven otherwise. Why? Because you don't know what anyone's health status is based on what they may tell you. I've dated HIV positive individuals in the past, and their status was never an issue for me...I'm dating the person, afterall.
I am HIV- and have dated someone that was HIV+. I knew from the beginning that the person was and did not have a problem with it because I knew in advance the risk that I was taken and I knew the steps necessary to protect myself as much as I possibly could. The way you feel about a person should not be based on their status. Now I do agree, if a person hides it from you, there's no trust and a relationship cannot grow. I've had that happen as well. We're friends now, but that's all it will be.
Would I date someone that was HIV Pos. I would have to say there is nothing wrong with gettin to know someone b/c you never know where there friendship could lead to, but as far as actually dating someone that is Positive, I would have to say I would not. Not b/c of the attraction may not be there, but b/c I would not want to get HIV and then blame the person that I was dating to whom I contracted it from, and have yet another situation on his hands.
As an HIV poz male no I would not date anyone who is negative. Reason being I don't want the blame to be on me if they were to become positive.I know there are lots of guys who are patrolling web sites who claim to be hIV negative when they are actually poz and its sad.(BGC&Adam4Adam)
I also feel that another HIV poz guy would understand me a lot better than someone who is negative.
Maybe it's the tone of your voice but it seems anything you say is good...Excellent points man. I love the guest appearances...Awesome topic this week. Awesome show!

Teddybeer42 1 year ago
just wanna say thank you for chosing that topic.
i once fell for a guy who after a while told me hes been positive for years. i gotta admit that, yes, the fear got me back then.
but when i came to think about it, i realized that it was ok to have fear, but that i needed to get over it.
cos it would be some sort of bad joke to not have safer sex with someone thats positive, if the whole principle is based on that assumption.
so i have dated a person thats hiv positive and would do it again.
