Would you have sex with someone who is HIV positive? Would you date someone that is? Do you want someone to tell you if they are before you sleep with them? Or do you think it is your responsibility to ask?
ok. that is how I feel. This topic came up in my small class today. And most people were like" it is up to the positive person to tell other people" and i'm like no.. you should always assume people you sleep with are positive and that it is up to you to ask if you want to know.
i don't know if you should always assume that the people you sleep with are positive, you should definitely always always ask and be safe. so for me, it's definitely yes for the last two questions. the second question i'd probably say yes to, and the first only if the second applied (i am trying something new with my life). but the idea that it is up to the positive person is close-minded and naive.
i think the morally and socially responsible thing to do if you are HIV positive is to disclose to your partner in the case they don't ask before you get to that point. Regardless of the situation, if someone is positive, a disclosure needs to happen. I think this is really getting caught up in semantics.
The first 2 questions? I think the answers you'd get to this depend on how educated the respondent is on HIV.
