IlianVargas Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Yes, as long as I continue being on PrEP and they are undetectable I do not see why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As long PLWH are undetectable, they cannot transmit sexually, U=U. I thought my dating life was over when I was diagnosed but no one has ever denied me because of my status. They typically like that I’m honest about my status. I’ve dated a negative partner for 2 years, had unprotected sex (often) and he was negative when we broke up. He wasn’t on PrEP because me being undetectable kept him negative. Thanks for sharing, sis! And yes, your partner doesn't even have to take PrEP when you're undetectable. Watch this blow the uneducated heads

RomanNavy Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 One year ago I would've said no. Nowadays: absolutely!! It took me a while to get around the U=U thing but I would have no reservations anymore. The stigma is stupid as **** but it takes some time educating people. Overcoming that doesn't happen overnight so I think it's important to have patience with people
Vitaly Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Personally I won't. Like, I am sorry, but ain't nobody will guilt trip me out of this.
insomniac Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Of course! It’s 2022. I’m surprised by some reactions in here.

Being alone, doing your own thing, enjoying food and music, it's so peaceful. Being alone is so soothing to me. Everytime I talk to someone, I just feel disappointed... I FELT
jim19911126 Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Why not? But I just ended with a HIV + because he was an ass and very arrogant, I guess who you really are is still way more important than what you have.
Shelter Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Depends on the person. I’m an extremely paranoid person so even though it’s impossible to transmit, in my mind I would probably convince myself that I’d still get it
L.B GAGA Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 I would date anyone who is caring for their health regardless of HIV or other medical issues as it shows self love. I mean the undetectable bit and the new meds of once a month injections, makes the condition seem like diabetes. So, the stigma will tremendously reduce in the next 5 years and anyway some of the poz guys are super attractive, i doubt they'll be into some of us. They are still at the top of the gay men food chain for gay marriage and even sex. So the question above is laughable.
Ice Cream Skies Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) I tried. I really wanted to. And I thought I’d be able to. I did a lot of reading to calm my nerves, but when I was in that situation my anxiety got the best of me and I just couldn’t stop thinking and worrying about it. It was irrational, sure… But it also wasn’t healthy for either of us so I broke it off before it got too deep. I didn’t expect myself to react that way, so it’s a shame. I still feel a little guilty about it. Maybe I’ll try again one day if the situation arises, but as of now, I’d prefer not putting myself in that situation. I don’t hook up, so anyone with a “chances are!” reply, pls save it. Edited May 14, 2022 by Ice Cream Skies
Mast Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Yes, I would. I am on PrEP and I would make sure that my partner is up to date with their medications so they remain undetectable and healthy for their own sake. That alone eliminates 99.99999% of the chances that my partner will transmit it to me. It's actually really disgusting the way people are saying "I support people with HIV but I wouldn't date one." No you don't lmao. You're perpetuating the stigma and you clearly don't understand the strides we have made to conquer the disease. I'm not surprised tho that ATRL gays are acting ignorant AF yet again though.

But it's not compulsory to date someone who is HIV+, no-one regardless of whatever or whoever is entitled to a certain preference. As long as you're not saying or doing any ignorant stuff towards people who are HIV+, then there is nothing wrong with supporting them while keeping in line with your dating standards.
