I\u2019m sorry to hear about your situation but it is still good that you were open about your HIV status.<\/p>\n
It takes courage and strength to tell your potential partners. Unfortunately, some people do not value this honesty. This is due to lack of knowledge and understanding about HIV.<\/p>\n
On the one hand many negative people expect positive people to disclose but this just becomes less likely when some of these people have no respect if you do this.<\/p>\n
This person should be ashamed of themselves and what they have done and you are better not having them as a friend.<\/p>\n
Sadly, we live in a world where most people are not that well informed about HIV. Stigma still exists, but it is changing. A lot of advocates, activists and governments from across the world are tackling this issue to reduce the stigma of HIV. And partly this can only be done by HIV positive people treating HIV as an ordinary part of life.<\/p>\n
Many HIV positive people have a healthy and loving relationship with HIV negative people. \u00a0They are known as sero different couples (where one partner is positive and the other is negative).<\/p>\n
Although my circumstances may be different to yours I am in one of these couples. \u00a0My boyfriend has been positive for 12 years and I\u2019m negative. \u00a0I\u2019m only using myself as an example to let you know that you can develop a good and loving relationship, regardless of your HIV status.<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t be down-hearted about what has happened but use it to make yourself stronger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I got tested for hiv and it was positive. I was told i have to be honest to my partner but I was rejected by him. Then I met another boyfriend and my first boyfriend told him about my status.
