OK People, Not all poz people are gay..."If we could look at actual numbers of people infected with HIV in the United States, most epidemiologists (numbers trackers) agree that we would find that there are more straight people than gay people with HIV here"(http://www.positiveconnections.org/hidden_majority.htm). So leave your religious beliefs at home, because you could be hit by a bus while preaching in the streets. This is in response to Juanita Moreno's answer as well as to anyone else who wants to bring religon into this.

Yeah. You know, very few guys carry around their latest test results and show them to you before you start dating. So you sort of have to assume everyone you date is poz, and proceed with caution, and safe sex when sex enters the scene. The guy who IS poz and tells you he is poz is actually a bonus, because you have an increased incentive to keep everything safe.

I think i would,but I would be cautious. Love transcends.
I want to respond to the person who put forth the stat that the average life expectancy of a gay man is 41. Let's do the math. If 1/2 the population lives to the age of 75, the other 1/2 would have to die at age 11 for this stat to be true! That study was also performed during the height of the AIDS epidemic - late 80's and early 90's. We're in a different world now.
Also, in response to the fact that the gay lifestyle is dangerous, what about all the heterosexual people with STD's? Isn't that a dangerous lifestyle, and therefore wrong by your standard?
Are you, the woman who posted the statistic, saying that God created diseases to make us happy? Seems like an absurd argument. I fail to understand how God's love relates to people getting diseases. God is supposed to be omni-benevolent, so such a claim is against his all-good nature. I think this woman needs to take some time to examine her heart, her soul, God, and some basic philosophy and theology.
By doing that, I hope she will come to realize God loves us all, flaws and all. And if God didn't defines good and bad by potential evils, there could never be a martyr.

We Christians are not threatened by homosexuality. Though we have compassion and respect toward gay people, we oppose their sexual conduct because, quite simply, it is not only morally illicit but also medically dangerous.
In fact, one of the reasons God forbids it is this -- He loves us, and He doesn't want us to do things that put us at huge risk for deadly diseases. He doesn't want us to do things that cut 30 years off our lifespans.
Homosexual conduct does have those negative impacts on us.
We don't want to see people engage in gay sex, because we don't want to see people die at the average age of 41 -- that's the life expectancy of gay men in the USA.
That's true compassion. Enabling this sexual behavior, making excuses for it, and pushing it as a healthy and normal lifestyle are hardly compassionate.

I'd have to say no. First I'm afraid of the damn disease. Also more than likely that person is going to get sicker as time goes on and the thought of losing someone I care about would hurt me too much. I know I suck for thinking this way but that's my honest answer.

If you are going to date anyone, you have to figure they are poz. They may have a test showing they are neg, but you don't know who they were with between the time they had the test and then showed it to you....

Yes I am neg and I have been with a pos bf. We dated for 3 months when he pushed me away. I found uot 6 months later why he pushed me away. he was sicker than what he would tell me and he died. I got a letter telling me why he pushed me away, but that he loved me. I know have one more angel up in heaven looking out for me.

Since I don't do Anal I don't really have to worry too much about a guys status. So not really a problem.

No. It limits things we can do and that is fine for a quickie but not for a relationship.
