VOU NAMORAR ALGUÉM QUE VIVE COM HIV: O QUE PRECISO SABER E FAZER?

I receive many messages from people who have met someone interesting, but freeze up when they discover that this person lives with HIV. The first step is to understand that the virus is just a detail and does not define the entirety of the individual. From a safety standpoint, there are several combined prevention strategies, such as the use of PrEP by the HIV-negative partner and the proven fact from the PARTNER study that those who are undetectable do not transmit the virus. On the emotional aspect, avoid excessive caution or constantly bringing up the condition, as this can be uncomfortable for someone who just wants to live a normal life. It is essential to honestly reflect on whether you are prepared to deal with this without panic. Entering a relationship with irrational fears can make the other person feel inferior or like a biological time bomb. If you are willing to learn and love, the experience can be transformative.
