Recent Diagnosis of HIV+ status in lover
Sep 20, 1999
My lover was just recently diagnosised with an HIV+ status and I am fragmented worse than my hard drive. Mostly what i would like to know is are there any books available that we can read together about safer sex between mixed status men, general everyday life skills, or specific topics for the HIV- partner?
