Should I only date other HIV positive people?
You don't have to limit your dateing to other HIV positive people unless you want to. There is certainly among HIV positive there is a lot more compatibility, in terms of no one is afraid they're going to be infected. It's never a good thing to have unprotected sex, not just because of HIV, because of HPV, because of herpes, because of hepetitas and a host of other conditions that can degrade the quality of your life. A lot of men partake in what's called 'barebacking'; having unprotected sex only with other HIV positive people. If someone your having sex with has unresistant virus, that virus can be transmitted to you and cause your own drugs to fail. now a lot of people who still engage in this behavior, that's they're decision. Personally, I think there is something intuitive about preserving your own health by not introducing other types of infections. It's what keeps you healthy. I have been HIV positive for twenty years, and I don't bareback because it just is not intuitive, it doesn't make good sense for health in the long term.
