Would you stay with a partner even though they tested positive for HIV?

Answer 1

That is such a hard question!!! If you really love the person and want to be together for a long time, there are so many ways to avoid contracting it yourself, ie condoms, spermicide, female condoms, ect. I personally would have to do a lot of soul searching, and research on the disease. There are people out there that have healthy relationships, where one person has a deadly disease.....

Answer 2

No I would not...especially if they tested positive because of a previous relationship. I don't care whether or not the relationship was a year or two ago. Also..if they slept with someone they knew was HIV positive and they took that risk anyway..then HELL NO. Why should I have to worry myself and get tested all the time for a mistake they made?

Answer 3

Good Luck!

The nature of love is... lack of choice, because compulsion is crucial to its timeless dynamic.
That is why we lift cars, scale tall buildings, & defy all friends/family/logic for the sake of our sweatheart/Love/Man(invariably a Man!) who is in distress or peril.

In other words - love does not give us choice.

You asked if... one/I would stay with such a partner... I would, but I would prefer not to. But only because - today - love is so freakishly rare & precious these days that it really is a case of hugging the cola/sauce/salt/chocolate shaker to get every last drop, because a draught could ensue. This can be called desperation.

You need to decide where you stand, what is your worth, what is your chance of meeting a range, plus what is your duty to an old friend.
Duty... in 21st Century does NOT (any longer) mean females sleeping with men, because they are grateful. You can show duty to friends without catching disease. Once you have disease... can you go on & on & On for 5, 10, 15, 20yrs with dodgy, constant pain & increasing inabilities, and constant vague health that bores everyone & looses friends?

Baz Lurman's 'Moulan Rouge' - who would choose that suffering of fatal disease in a relationship? No, we would all hate that, but it happens. If this has happened to you in metaphore (HIV)... based on wht I have suggested, what do you think you should do now?

Your decision is not about length of life... it is about quality of life. Imagine the 'Little Mermaid' - every step she took on land was like walking on knives. That is the true metaphore for carrying contagious terminal disease - intense pain - every second of every moment.

If someone had told me this when I asked your question... I would have thought much harder before deciding, but no one said anything.

Good Luck

Answer 4

Nope.

Loving someone doesn't not mean dying with them.

If the partner tests positive, that means that they were likely cheating, or were previously infected and were putting you at risk.

Cut your losses and consider calling the police and the local public health department.

Any healthy person who is interested in having sex with someone who has a life threatening illness is in need of additional counselling for mental health issues.

Answer 5

Have you been with him for along time? And how did he get it, from cheating? ....these are the things that would be my deciding factor. If I had a long time relationship with him and he contracted it through medical procedures then I would, it's not his fault, it just happened.

If he cheated or it's a new relationship, probably not. I would not have sex with him either way, I wouldn't want to take the chance.

Answer 6
