22 years old with hiv and partner of two years just walked out on me.

Having HIV does not make you a dating outcast, there are plently of relationships where one person has HIV and the other does not. Of course you have to be super careful and honest, but this in itself should not make you a celibate hermit. You are getting over a major breakup, but when the time is right, get back out there, become active in your community, look on HIV dating sites if dating someone positive is important to you, but don't issolate yourself, you are so young, so I believe with all my heart you will meet another amazing guy who will love you and treat you with the respect you so deserve.

So glad you found the site!

you can find people wit hiv on positivesingles.com ... meet men with the same disease as you have and get to kno each other ... i hope all works out for you hunny !

You will still be able to meet someone & even if you have a partner with HIV remember you still have to use protection because their string of the virus can be different than yours & cause you problems.

I am living with my partner of close to 2yrs now. We had a rough beginning... asked him if he was neg he never said yes or no, so I took it as he was neg. When I asked him to be my boy friend he said yes, and said I needed to know that he was positive...of course this was devastating to say the least. He also stated he wanted a minougimus relationship, I was unwilling to commit to that at the time, but I loved him too much to dump him. We have hung in there since, it been rocky for both of us during this time. We both have been unfaithful from time to time til the end of November 2011. In the beginning of December 2011 I asked him to be my boyfriend and committed myself to him, he agreed. Our sexual relationship has been dismal to say the least, but I love him with all my heart, he states he loves me too. He is currently living with me, but he is unable to communicate his love and feelings for me, and our sex has almost if not stopped...At the end of November he told me he was unattracted nor interested in me anymore, but later stated he should have chosen better words. Recently he suggested that he go play with someone else to rekindle the fire. I have asked him to stay and work it out with me, that we both had our time to play around.

I am currently negative, absolutely hate condoms, which I understand is playing Russian roulette. I am totally committed to him have no desire to end this relationship nor to fool around. He is currently searching for a new friend he can relate with and have just a non sexual relationship with.

I am encouraging him to seek a friend through a support group, and that perhaps I may also be involved with as well.

I am getting weak and have considered ending our relationship, but am still holding onto some hopoe that things will work out for us. We both agree we come too far to give up.....but, for me something must change... I am dying inside a little more each day.

I am sorry believe I posted this in the wrong place.....trying to delete it but unable......made my own discussion....I am sorry for this mistake here........

You can be sexual but you must take precautions. I am sure that you will find someone to love again but it will take time and you will have to open your heart to it. You are in a different situation than some on the list but that does NOT make you ineligible to find love or a relationship that suits you. The most important thing is to be open and honest even if you get negative responses from your honesty. I wear my heart on my sleeve and have been hurt many times and am currently in the middle of a storm. You are unique, needed and loved! Even if you don't find someone with HIV you may find someone willing to love you for you and for no other reason. We all need love and support and I hope you get the support you need from this community.
