People With HIV Can Date and Have Normal Lives
You've met just the right person, and you think this might be the one. He or she enjoys the same things you do, you get along great, you 'click' in every way, and it looks like there's a future in store. But then you find out this great person is infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. In common terms, they are "HIV Positive."
What kind of dating life can you have?
Dating and falling in love is one of the most normal of human behaviors, and for the most part, it's no different for someone with HIV. With some education on both sides, a lot of acceptance and loving understanding, you can indeed have a happy dating relationship with a man or woman who is HIV positive, and you can even marry and have a future.
Yes, you can have a fun and fulfilling dating life!
People with HIV go to the movies, dance, swim, take vacations, shop for groceries, work, go to college, and yes, date, fall in love and get married.
Here are some things you should consider if you've met someone with HIV and you want to date and build a relationship.

It's Important to Discuss Health Issues and HIV When You Date and Become Intimate
The first rule, one you should have explored by now, is to always know for certain the health status of those you date. Many diseases (some of them, such as HIV, considered life-threatening), are transmitted through intimate contact. Unfortunately, many of those who have HIV or other conditions may not know about it.
Naturally, you can ask about someone's status, but unless they've been tested recently (and even then, the results don't always show up if a person is newly infected), they may think they aren't infected, but still have the virus. And, some people don't disclose things honestly. Although there are some lifestyles and situations that might suggest your partner may be at risk of having HIV, it's important to know if they've been exposed to the virus.
