LOVING SOMEONE WHO IS HIV+
I would like to tell my Story, I am 32 year old male who met a wonderful man who is hiv+ he let me know right from the start. But I couldn't help falling in love with him..I live for the positive in our life and we enjoy each day to the fullest. being with Ken has made me myself enjoy life so much more...But at times I do get to feeling the pressures of his HIV+ status and I worry about our time together but I also believe that whatever time we have to gether it will be well worth the pain.....So I guess I am saying to people don't overlook someone just because they are HIV+....I am glad I didn't and I enjoy my life.....

Greg, you inspire me on the positive attitude you have to your relationship. I have been positive for about 5yrs and I have yet to establish a relationship. I fear being upfront about my situation. But I do refain from sexual contact to possible prospects. I would like to inquire on the type of sexual relationship you might have with your partner. I do have an aquaintance whom I am sexual with but can not see us being in an emotional relationship, the feeling in mutual on his part. When I was diagnosed I had a partner and are relationship lasted two years after that . He never tested positive and I thank a higher power for that. We ceased our relationship due to not being able to be sexual. I still love him dearly but in a way I guess it wasn't enough. I am healthy at the moment and dont forsee any immediate problems. So my question once again to you or any one else in a similar situation. How easy is it to be upfront a

Greg, thank you for coming forward with your story. Although I have AIDS, I still need to be loved and have the capacity to love. It takes a real "gent" to love someone the way you do.

Samuel, Thanks for your response and I can tell you that you will find love on day keep up the positive attitude. It really hasn't been easy between Ken and I many issues and HIV is one of those. It is a monster that rises it's head every now and then to crash into my lovers world and affect everything we do but I could love him no less or no more due to this.
