Is it a bad idea getting involved with someone that's HIV positive?
Over the weekend, I met "Chuck" at a bar. He was really flamboyant and friendly, and sat down right on my lap when I was chatting with a friend lol. He's seriously the most gorgeous man that's ever been interested in me. He's also an "obvious" gay, which I like b/c I'm an obvious gay too. He told us all he was positive, and asked me if that's a problem. I said no, even though it sort of is. I've never been in a relationship with someone that's positive. As far as I know, I'm totally clean and hope to stay that way. But he was really nice and funny, and invited me back to his place that night, and I went with him. We did NOT have sex, but we did spend the night cuddling together. We have the same taste in movies and music, and he seemed like someone I'd want in my life. He borrowed $20 from me that night, and said he's going to meet me at my work today to give me the money back. I told him to bring me flowers b/c it'll give my coworkers something to gossip about ... lol. But before I get involved with him, is there anything I should know about dating someone that's positive? I know you can't get AIDS from kissing, but I've had sexual experiences before where the condom has broke ... should I just avoid anal altogether with him? I CAN'T get AIDS ... and if it meant never seeing him again, I'd have to do that, as much as I like him. What do you guys think?

I can relate to your story. and if you want my advice there's nothing wrong with that. I am HIV negative and met a wonderful guy who wasn't... I liked him a lot, for his honesty and openness about it amongst other things . At first I was scared but decided to get involve with him after going to a health counselor, who reassured me that the risk to catch the virus is very slim if I use protection every time when having sexual intercourse. We stayed together for 2 years and I didn't catch the virus. not only when you're having penetration, but any kind of sexual activities. ( doesn't include kissing) Go to a local health clinic for more info, they can really help you.
I hate to be judgemental or prejudice,but indeed it's over risky...especially when you are to have sexual action together...
Tough call man. For me, I wouldn't do ANYTHING sexual with him, for fear of catching it. I mean, I know it's a sad situation, but I just don't think I could be with someone who had HIV. It would cause too much nervousness for me.
That said, it's your choice, but I'd be very careful.
I wouldn't initiate any sexual contact with him, ever because this could get tricky. You already have some feelings for him.
You already know the answer to this question.
edit: And I see le charmeur's point, but really I don't think you should take that risk. It's just too dangerous.
it's a good q. personally speaking... i'd be glad that he told me... but... i know that i would always be worried about catching HIV. it would always be on my mind. i like the fact that my partner and i got tested... were 'free' and we are in a committed relationship... so we don't have to use safe sex...
cause u just met him... i think i'd keep looking... but it would be a harder choice if i already knew him and fell for him and liked him a lottttttt.
BE VERY CAREFUL. Check in with the gay health center or gay center about safer sex with someone with HIV. You sound happy. HUGS
friends yes, sex partners Never.
I think that this is something you need to first figure out within yourself before you get yourself too involved and hurt one or both of you. I personally don't see it as a problem as long as you THOROUGHLY explain your sexual health concerns to "Chuck," including your boundaries on sexual acts, before officially dating and/or beginning a sexual relationship. Go to your local HIV alliance, AIDS treatment center, or even your doctor for information on high-risk activities you should avoid AND safe sex. Good luck hon. :)
