Should I stop dating if I have HIV?
Initially, when you're first diagnosed with HIV, you may need some time to take out and sort out things for yourself. During that time of sorting things out for yourself, going out on dates may not be the most productive endeavour for you, so you may want to take a little time off. In the long term, you should absolutely get back to dating, going out, and having fun. There's no reason why at any time your HIV diagnosis should at all stop you from dating, intimacy, and romance. HIV diagnosis is absolutely not a reason to stop any of that. You've got a full and healthy life to look forward to after HIV diagnosis, and it includes healthy relationships with other people.
