I am an HIV negative man and have recently met a woman who is positive. I am really falling for her... can anyone recommend a book that I could get with information about HIV, safe sex practices, and general questions about "mixed status" partnerships? digging through forums for answers to specific questions is time-consuming and tiresome. thanks

You can contact the CDC and they will send you all sorts of literature for free, and of course know how to protect yourself through education. You can do this, I am so proud of you for overcoming the stigma that affects us positive folks. We need more people like you in the world. Take care, D

Well hello crepuscular! My name is Carrie. I am negative and in a relationship with a positive man. There is actually a word for the relationship we're in. It's called Serodiscordant Couples (where one is neg and the other is poz).
Randomly I found this site: http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/InSite?page=li-06-12
But there are many many others. I find it more personal to get information on this forum. There are even chat rooms out there for people who have questions about being in a relationship with a neg or poz.
I believe you are in for a wonderful journey! Good luck and I hope you stick around!!!

thanks for the information. The woman I'm dating and I are going to see a counselor together who specializes in HIV/serodiscordant relationships. I think it will be a great experience and a big help. I really love this lady and plan to stay with her. She is so much more than the disease : )

Hi, and welcome
I too am neg, husband is positive. It has been 5 years since we were told he was positive. He has HIV/Aids, the main thing is keep your head, educate yourselves, get good medical help, & be safe. Love is a wonderful thing.

Hi!
I just married the man who accpeted me and my status - so cheers to you for being brave and seeing she is more than HIV pos.
If you are a book reader - I recommend "First Year of living with HIV" or something similar - it is written for the positive person but you will be able to learn alot from it.
Check amazon they have several books - I also read the John Hopkins book regarding HIV - a little more dry and getting dated - something you will need to watch for since new information is changing the view all the time.
I also read the summaries of the info from the infectious disease confereneces and such - here at The Body.
Good luck to you -
