Could you sleep with someone who was HIV positive?

Nop I wouldn't do anything sexual with someone who had HIV (or any other STD) ... wouldn't even date them. I'm very paranoid about that stuff

 

Well ,speaking about men, I'm not even sure if I'd do anal at all since I've never done it and am not extremely interested in it either.
Orally, maybe if we used proper precautions.
Women, same if using proper precautions, I think I would.

 

I wouldn't.
For those asking "but what if it's not their fault?" it's not relevant. I would never be able to have sex with them without fear, and I'm not willing (and doubt that they would be either) to not have sex.

My uncle was one of the people in Canada who lived the longest with AIDS. More than 20 years. He got it from his partner, who died of it, before we had the medication to keep it from progressing. I could never risk it.

 

Honestly? No. I couldn't. I don't judge ANYONE, but I personally could never have sex with someone and risk getting that disease

 

I am going to be completely honest: No.

 

Tough question. If I liked them enough, then maybe.

 

Yes. I have friends who are HIV+, and if I were attracted to them, I can picture sleeping with them fairly easily.

absolutely not. under no circumstances would i take that risk.

 

Sorry, but I would have to say no. I would worry about the possiility of catching the disease. It's too risky.

 

If he was honest about it from the beginning and loyal, then yes.

I agree.

 

you know, if i really liked a guy a lot to the point where i was really in love with him, then i probably would. it would be kind of hard not to especially when you have strong romantic feelings towards them. i'd would be really tempted to because i don't think it would be fair to throw sex off the table. i wouldn't have unprotected sex though of course even though, it would suck to a certain degree.

 

Completely agree with everything you said here.

 

This is a hard question to answer. If it was just me I had to worry about (such as having no family to look after) then I'd consider it. But since there's other people in my life I have to look out for, and until there isn't, I probably wouldn't. Caring for an aging parent would, at least from my perspective, would be more challenging with an HIV diagnoses. The same goes for possible future children - if I ever have any, then I absolutely not have sex with someone who's HIV positive, love or no love. That's basically where I stand on the issue.

 

Well it depends. If they told me BEFORE then I would not sleep with them BUT I would still date them. Now if they did not tell me at all and I caught it, then I would so dump you. If you have an STD or HIV and you know you have it, then you should tell your loved one. That's just being irresponsible to not tell them.
