Here's something to think about... What would you do If.. ??

If this person is truly "the love of my life" then I would most definitely stay with this person and support them. There is nothing stronger than love except maybe fear (which a few of the respondents to this question have shown). This bond of love can hold two people through anything if they truly and deeply love each other.

By the way, this exact situation happened to me. I found out that I was HIV+ and my partner has stayed with me being supportive and loving through the whole process. I really respect him and love him so much for not just throwing me by the wayside once he found out. He really pulled me through the hard beginning times of finding out that I was positive. Now we are happily together for almost 5 years. In the beginning we decided to stop having sex for awhile to let things process in our heads and get ourselves educated about what was safe sexual behavior. I think this was the best decision we made because it gave us the time and space to each deal with our own issues about what happened without complicating things by having sex and worrying if what we were doing was completely safe.

I am the most thankful person in the world to have found a person who values love above all else and didn't give in to the fear that is caused by this dreadful virus.

(I contracted HIV before we met and have never slept around on him although I only found about my status after we had been together for almost 2 years after taking the test.)

It is definitely something to think about. But you asked, what would I do. Well, I believe in life more than I believe in love and if I want to live life I need to live it to the full extent. If kids are in the picture (being the motherly type) I would never let anything wrong happen to my "bundles of joy" if I could help it. So, why would I stay with someone that could potentially harm my future kids and I?. I would absolutely leave this love of my life and continue looking to live life!

First of all... you wouldn't be with "the love of your life" forever because having HIV increases that persons risk of dying young.

Second... I would see it as this person did something irresponsible without thinking of that could affect me. Maybe I love this person but this person doesn't care enough for me to be responsible.

Third... if not treated properly HIV can be very difficult to deal with. So unless you have a nursing degree, do you really want to deal with all the aftermath? That is of course assuming you don't get infected yourself.

Last, I would find someone healthy to have kids with. Definitely not this unhealthy person you are referring to.

I know of a couple where the wife is positive and a spokeperson for HIV. The husband still has sex with her and they are looking for ways to have a baby. HIV is a big deal, but there are people who are living with it everyday and enjoying life. My thoughts at this time would be directd to helping the person I am in love with deal with this shocking news and help him find resources to help him through this time.

If that what u really want then stay with him and help live a happy life beside the point that he dieing from HIV by being supportive and understanding him with his daily pain and suffering.

i am sorry to hear that...but i would say either ur really young or stupid...ur lucky u dont have it.move on u can fall in love again u can have healthy kids and better life with someone else.i am sorry for him.but its not worth it.i know it wont be easy for u but u have to move on.consider ur self lucky.

i would stay with him but if you really want children you should adopt cause no child should be brought to the world to suffer as for sex there are many other ways to pleasure each other

Don't know but i dont think i will be with her no more, hello there is a lot of girls... I sure can find other love with the time..

if this is the love of my life and i'm the love of his life then he wouldn't want to c nothing bad happen to me we would stop having intercourse but i would b there for him

I would stay with him and try to pleasure each other sexually without having intercourse.
