Assuming you are negative. What would your fear level be of contracting HIV yourself?

Speaking for myself I would not be fearful of such a relationship. Dating is entirely different than starting a relationship. Would I permit the dating to pass the into a serious relationship? I don't know. It would all depend upon circumstances.
I have a friend that has been in a relationship for over 15 years with his partner who is HIV+ and two years was diagnoised as having progress to AIDS. My friend is still HIV- and is tested every 3 months at his work since he is in the health care business. What is interesting is they do not have sex but have a very loving and caring relationship.

I would date someone who is HIV Positive, yes. Because I'm not dating an illness, I'm dating the person, if that makes sense. Of course there would be a level of concern that I too would contract HIV, but we would practise safe sex. It's entirely possible to date someone with HIV and still have a healthy sex life.

Yes I would. Dating someone with HIV doesn't mean you will contract the illness yourself. It's when you decide to have a physical relationship with them that the problem would come about. Having an incurable disease doesn't make someone any less of a person and they should be treated no different than anybody else.

I would totally date someone positive, as long as they were aware of safety issues with a negative person.
I am interested in people, and as long as they take care of themselves, an issue like HIV would only be a matter-of-fact issue.
Knowledge and love control the course of every relationship. So I am thinking, bring on a good man, and just let him be honest and loving, right?
Good Luck and Goddess Bless.

I'd say realistic fear level, since I've read that many of the people who get it nowadays (was it 61 percent?) get it from a hiv positive partner of whom they know he or she is hiv positive

You can have a successful and safe relationship with a HIV positive person. Know the facts and you can be safe and happy.

I would date someone who is HIV positive, you just have to be careful if you decide to have sex with them. You have to practice safe sex with them, and go into knowing that there is a chance you could get it too.

honestly i don't know, it would have to be highly situational. If I fell for the person than sure it's a possibility just have to be really careful. I would avoid it though it would be hard to feel like theres an expiration date on our relationship and having to know your lover is sick and wont be around in the future.

HELL no. as shallow as that sounds. i wouldnt even let them in my house... im really not trying to be mean, but that is way too serious to be fooled around with. until there is a cure, then all is well....
im negative.... but what happened if you were to only french kiss?... lets say he just brushed his teeth and didnt realize or care about the little sore he opened while scrubbing... he comes up to you wanting a kiss... and guess what?... you also have a open sore in your mouth...... guess what happens? you will most likely end up with hiv. that crap is too serious to take lightly.... if i cant have sex, kiss, and be happy with them... then that is called a friend. not dating

If I loved him, then yes. I wouldn't fear contracting HIV because there is this thing called safe sex.
