Response from Dr. Remien
 His HIV status alone should not be a reason to not pursue this relationship. A good relationship is based on a lot of important factors and it is only with time that you can know how good a relationship is. You do need to understand the basics about HIV, including how it is transmitted. If you are not sure you do know the basic facts, get the information - ask questions. There are lots of resources out there including those on this website: The Body. Finally, it is also very important that you and this man TALK about your feelings and concerns regarding HIV as well as other intimate things that two getting to know each other usually talk about. |
