Can you have sex with a partner who is HIV positive?
Question:
but can you still do it after she or he told you?
Answers:
All of these answers are way off base and are the result of ignorance (except the answer directly above mine).
I know of many couples where one is HIV+ and one is HIV- (magnetic couples) and they have been together for years. And there has been no transmission. Many of these couples met and got together with full knowledge that there new partner was HIV+, some couples found out a bit later.
As long as you are practicing safer sex and decide together as a couple what risks you are willing to take, and be very open with sexual communication, you can prevent transmission. Obviously, condoms are used all the time and used properly.
There is a lot of fear and ignorance surrounding HIV/AIDS, lots of misinforamtion, lots of homophobia (you can't talk about AIDS phobia without talking about homophobia -- they are firmly linked.)
There are so many factors that come into play regarding HIV transmission. In your case, from what I know, women are your primary partners. If a woman is HIV+ it is harder for her to transmit HIV to a male partner than it is if the male was infected and passed it on to the woman. With the use of condoms, avoiding sex (penetrative and oral-vaginal) while she is menstruating, the risk of transmission is LOW.
But it means you can't use condoms some of the time, you have to use them all of the time, and use them correctly.
HIV+ people have every right to a satisfying and full sex life. And they can achieve it, though with all the ignorance out there it can be difficult. But worth it.
There are even valid and safe (albeit a bit expensive) ways to still conceive a child naturally (well,as close to naturally as possible)
You go right ahead.
I'll wait until Hell freezes over.
why would you want to ?
you can, but I WOULDN"T! You are taking a chance on getting it yourself..
no we ALL probably havent dirty. yes you can still but you will get it. speak for yourself not everyone is desperate and willing to get hiv over getting laid.
It's a really bad idea, but if you insist on doing so, you can as long as you use a condom. Oral sex and contact with her blood are off limits. The alternative is almost certainly slow, painful death.
Absolutely NOT a good idea. Even condoms are not fool proof. You can kiss, cuddle etc. But please do not have sex. I lost someone with Aids (we did not have sex) and it was the most horrible thing that I have ever lived thru. It just is not worth the risk. Please do not do it.
NO way!! Unless I'm legally or officially committed to the relationship and taking very strict care on every little things for prevention.
Once she gets a disease that vagina becomes off limits... I personally would never be able to do it if I knew. If so you seriously have no respect for your own penis.
what? r u stupid.. do u want to condemn yourself to a life full of **** and pain?? There are so many mean things i would like to say to but i better not..
You CAN, but the real questions is "SHOULD you?" I wouldn't. It is possible that you did not contract it. You should wait 6 months to a year before you have sex again if you slept with someone who is positive. Otherwise, you run the risk of spreading it to other people. I get tested every 6 months for everything, even though I am married and don't cheat. It's just the responsible thing to do. Get educated, okay? If not for yourself than for other people.
My brother is HIV positive. He went through his youth like an idiot and he didn't care about getting tested. All he wanted was to get drunk, get high and get laid. Now, he is SO sick. He contracted SEVERAL different strains of virulent viruses and it is killing him.
My best friend was raped in college by a man who was HIV positive. (he's in jail now). He raped several other women as well. Of the six known victims, 4 of the women got HIV. Six years later, my friend still shows up negative.
only if you are suicidal! pus*sy isn't worth the risk!!
course you can technically stil do it.. if youre STUPID enough. and im sorry but you are wrong we all HAVENT probably had it without knowing..
that's hard to decide
i wouldn't' have sex just for fun but if i REALLY fall in love then i would maybe, with protection
I haven't had sex with someone who is HIV positive. I wasn't a virgin, but wasn't sleeping around either. I protect and respect myself enough to care for my body. No one else will. As far as sleeping with someone with HIV, why would you want to? I can't imagine the sex is so fantastic that it outweighs the risk of death. I would rather live a life of lousy sex than risk dying for it.
