Poz/neg Relationship
Posted: 05-30-05 15:38pm

I was just wondering if anyone else out there is in one, and if so, how are things working for you?

My ex sis in law, a nurse, married and hiv pos guy, went to italy, had his sperm cleaned, deliverd twins by artificial insemination 38 weeks later and are still together pos/neg, 17 year later.
That should build some confidence!

This is truley a personal choice!

Sometimes relationships can be stronger with mixed status couples. What if you got married and work in a hospital and got injected by mistake? If you contract hiv, do you divorce? Do you lose the kids and have to relocate?

Or, do you stick together out of love and battle the caca called hiv.

I would not sit and wait for hiv to finish me off. I'll use every defense, including the spirit and love of my family, wife, partner, lover, whatever.

Again, it's a personal choice!

Souunds great the support you guys are providing...

Any thoughts/comments on the sex side? Besides condoms, any do's/don'ts?

Any clarification of myths?

Thanks a lot!

I think that the most important thing to remember is to practise safe sex to the letter. This means always wearing high quality condoms for sex and oral sex, avoiding oil based lubricants, using gloves if there are cuts on the hands or fingers (although that risk is only theoretical), disinfecting sex toys. It all sounds unromantic, but getting into that safe routine will mean that your sexual relationship will become comfortable and worry free. Best wishes.

I am in a pos/neg relationship. Things aren't great right now. I am positive for 2 yrs now so the shock has worn off but our sex life has basically all but died. He has no interest, I'm guessing for fear of getting the virus. He says he doesn't like the feel of a condom. I'd really like to hear about your situation!!
