I am glad you are honest and open to letting your partners know about your status, very important to do so. Wish there was more people like you to be honest.
ALL of these comments are great! Thank you ALL for watching and commenting! I think we have some great conversations here, and many more to come! Please check out the response videos as well! I love my subscribers! And I LOVE a great conversation...who's got the next topic????
I think as long as you are open and honest and keep the lines of communication open with each other you can work through anything especially if you really care about that person deeply and want to move forward in the relationship. Sometimes love really does conquer all. ;)
So I tried making a response video for you on this topic, and it would only upload about 50 seconds of the video. So I am trying to post it to my own channel now to see if that works any better. I am not technologically inclined, that's for sure ....
wouldn't blink, i would want to educate myself about what it is and how it could effect me and the relationship in the future but i don't think it would stop me after i got the education. i was sick and my partner was sick when we met and got together, now we both have lyme so no real warning there but we'll both always have it even if we get in remission. and of course now there's a lot of talk that lyme can be passed along sexually.
continued:: If that person couldnt take the time to educate me and make me feel comfortable and safe in that situation then I couldnt be with that person. Honesty, Loyalty, Devotion, Committment, and Dedication are 5 of the most important things to me in a relationship. If they are honest, loyal, devoted, committed and dedicated to me, im going to be honest, loyal, devoted, committed, and dedicated to them. sorry if i just rambled lol i should have just done a vid response :0) great question.
"Do you forgo that relationship and remove that person from your life"? Most definatley not. Angie..your so right.. So often many do enter relationships as well as share a bed (sexually ) with people whom they dont know 100% about. Your also right that not alot of people in this world are that honest. For me I know i would take the time to hear that person out and then they would HAVE to take the time out to really educate me and have the patience to answer any questions i may have
What an AWESOME question Angie! Well, I must say this is a mind boggling topic. In all honesty, I think its safe to say people seem to focus on the physical disabilities as opposed to the spiritual. What I mean by this is, I would MUCH rather date a person w/ physical challenges than someone who is #100% up to par physically but are spiritually MALIGNANT! I'm attracted to a positive spirit way FASTER than anything ELSE! GREAT TOPIC!
Hmm.... personally, as long as it was clearly explained to me &I was then free to ask questions - & I was fairly certain that I would get honest answers - then I really don't see why this sort of thing would prevent a relationship with a person I cared for and was attracted to. I mean, everyone has "issues" of some sort, & I can think of a vast number that'd be a heck of a lot more challenging within a relationship than someone's medical concerns.I'd support the person I loved, unconditionally.
I noticed that people haven't been posting much these days too! Maybe the heat is zapping everyone's creativity. I've even been grabbing old film footage and trying to find new ways to post it. lol -Steve-
I think HIV simply terrifies people. Those who educate themselves about the risks and precautions are more likely to stick around and continue the relationship. Others might worry the person with HIV will not be around for the long haul. The good news is scientists have discovered a key element to create a vaccine. (that just came out this week) Great topic and question, Angie.
Also, on the physical disability/illness topic, I am interested in someone who has a physical disibility and I've liked him for quite some time now. I don't see him as "that guy with cerebral palsy". To me, he's just Niek. I don't care that he has to walk with canes or that he can't do stuff that other kids can do. He is such an amazing, caring, and thoughtful person that I think he was just that person that I liked him from the second we met. (Not love at first sight! I don't believe in that.)
I view life as a wonderful adventure that is too short to spend wondering "what if?". If I know that I am passionate, MADLY in love with someone then I don't think that anything like that could get in the way of my feelings for them.
For me, life is about accepting change and working for what you want. And if what I wanted was to be with this person, then god damnit I WILL be with this person. Very little would stand in the way.
I am glad you are honest and open to letting your partners know about your status, very important to do so. Wish there was more people like you to be honest.

@xirtkaeanjax Well apparently it's a Youtube issue, so I guess I won't blame my horrible technology skills this time. I'll try again later though :/

I think information is key, whatever it is and being informed is #1. I would be able to continue on with the relationship.

Absolutely not.

I have already said but I will say it again. I will still date them and protect myself and help take care of them. Love is greater than this.
