Also that even if someone 'thinks' they are negative, if they are sexually active and have been for the previous 3 months, it might not show in their most recent test.
Hm... I thought more people would've had something to say about it. Again, I'm asking this as a POZ person who's had these discussions with friends lately, and am just interested to find out what you all think. Usually there's not a shortage of opinions around here... Still only one brave woman answered... Thanks Kel!
Say... what would you do if you meet someone, totally like them physically and personality wise, and then they tell you they're HIV+? What if they tell you after you've been intimate? Do you find it misleading if, in a personal ad (online or otherwise) a person doesn't upfront disclose their sero-status?

Posted: 9/10/05 at 12:55pmWhen i date a man I more interested on what is in their heart rather than their bloodstream. Of course I do feel it is vital to know whether I or they are HIV positive because necessary precautions need to be taken. But to think passing up on a meaningful realtionship because of HIV status is absurd. I feel that too many people focus on the sexual aspects only rather than the relationship as a whole.

Hm... one more attempt at this.
In person, most people I talk to (POZ and neg alike) say it's not an issue, yet as we talk about it, it seems that it could be a bigger issue than expected down the road. It also surprises me how many of the people (especially gay men) I've spoken to have not had to deal with this issue at all.
Yeah... I've really been on this little investigative journey...

I think that for some people it isn't an issue until it happens to them directly. In theory, I thought I'd be okay with it. But when the situation happened, I found myself feeling much differently than I thought I would.
There's also the fact that most people are liars.
