Living The Pozitive LIfe

There are plenty of good reasons to utter the words “lets just be friends” after a first date. Perhaps there was no chemistry or a lack of shared interests, or maybe he was just a little bit of a dick. Regardless of what your reasoning to either call or not call him again, his HIV status shouldn't be a factor. HIV isn't one of the variables that determine whether you and your partner are an emotional and physical match. It is merely a measure of logistics and science. If all of the other elements of a relationship seem to be clicking – sexual attraction, similar tastes, and a mutual like for each other’s weirdness – both of you would be a fool to let mismatched statuses get in the way. However, there are a few things you should be know when starting a relationship with an HIV-positive guy.  Pay attention, and you two may live happily ever after – or at least not break up over HIV. 1.

When I was first knew I had HIV, I have no idea what to do. I had no one to turn to. I did not know anyone else. I went on Twitter. I made some friends and gotten some kind of support system I was looking for, but it wasn't quite adequate. Twitter pozzies are all over the world.

If you are looking for something to say to someone who has HIV, my advice is, don't say anything. Saying the wrong things just make things worse than it already is, unless you are a doctor speci...

Kudos and thank you, Singapore! Since 1 April 2015, Singapore has quietly lifted its travel ban on HIV+ people, no announcement were made then. The travel ban has been in place since the 1980s back at a time when HIV was not understood. Techonology in medication has improved vastly and HIV+ people on medication posses little or significantly reduced risk to others. Only last week, the media has reported that the Government of Singapore has lifted the ban. So now, foreigners visiting Singapore need not worry of being deported or denied entry.
