I'm trying to figure out how to date being HIV pos.  In my part of the country (Dallas) the HIV community is surprisingly small especially if your a hetero male. We're like unicorns around here. I've really begun to despair about ever finding anyone.  Geeesh I sound pathetic but that's the ugly truth. What in the world am I going to do?

@justlove123 have you done searches online? I typed in HIV dating sites, and found several. Positive Singles, for one. I've not tried any, so I can't vouch for them.

I literally say my name Chee. I'm HIV positive. I've started a non profit to spread HIV awareness. I don't really care what people think. I've learned people have a choice. Here's the info, do w it what u want. I even posted on FB. I fear rejection. So I give people a choice up front.

It can be tough to find people who understand what you're going through. But the good news is that there are resources out there for people in your situation, like dating sites specifically for HIV-positive people. It might be worth checking those out.

On the topic of dating, I recently stumbled upon a post about the pros and cons of dating a nurse. It made me realize that one of the pros of dating a nurse is that they're typically responsible and knowledgeable about health issues. That could be a huge plus for someone in your position. Of course, there are always cons to consider too, but it's interesting to think about.

Hello everyone,

How are you today?

Dating when you have HIV can involve a lot of special considerations. It's important to have open and honest conversations with potential partners about your HIV status. With proper treatment and precautions, people with HIV can have fulfilling relationships. Disclosure, understanding, and practicing safe sex are crucial aspects of dating when living with HIV.

How has your experience dating with HIV been like?
