Dating with an STD? Guess what...a LOT of people are, and they are not to be
blamed, or feared, or stigmatized. Everything has changed with regards to
HIV. With the advent of PREP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) and TASP (Treatment
as Prevention), many people are HIV Positive, but UNDETECTABLE..which means
it is VERY difficult to contract the disease from them. Everyone should
be safe regardless of the knowledge of your partners STD status,
but avoiding people due to their STD status is becoming less justifiable as
progress is made in fighting these diseases. Who knew there would be an HPV
vaccine that would help to limit the spread of this STD in the future?
Basically, a lot of things are changing with regards to dating and STD's.
Your best defense is knowledge. PLEASE take the time to Google what is
happening with various STD's. If you are not (or think you are not) carrying
an STD, please get checked. And look within yourself to see if you are
comfortable in a serodiscordant relationship (i.e. dating someone who's HIV
status is different from yours). Basically, times are changing, and peoples
attitudes are changing, and if you have an STD, YOU ARE NOT ALONE...not by a
long shot. There are millions of people who are dealing with the same issues
you are. Don't be afraid to reach out. Don't be afraid to love. Open
yourself up to intimacy. Your STD does NOT define you!

Times have changed and finding out that one is HIV positive is no longer a
death sentence. In fact, with PREP and TASP (Treatment as Prevention) more

there is full acceptance of someone who is HIV positive, and 'having the
talk' can be stressful. Joining a site like HIV Poz Singles allows people to
meet others who are dealing with the same HIV status issues. No more, 'well,
there's something I need to tell you'. Join for free.
