I hope I don't offend anyone with my comments here. They are mine alone and I do not believe anyone should follow my lead. I think it's fair to say that everyone is physically and physiologically different so HIV will affect each of us, and our relationships, differently. Speaking for myself, I became extremely obsessed with HIV and I fucked everyone, anywhere, in the hopes of seroconverting, which did not take long. It was impossible to think of anything else. I am very lucky to live in central Florida where bareback sex is so common and that HIV is extremely prevalent. The reality is that my obsession is not new and you may be surprised find out that MANY men have actually "chased" this disease, regardless of the eventual final physical results. What may make me different is that I fully admit my actions and not afraid of talking about it. I am very happy being a member of this website and I'm still not regretting the decisions I made. I respect all the members here and their decisions they make.
As far as the question the original person who posted this question, family life following HIV infection will depend on how your individual family members will accept your condition. I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for and hope you all the best with regards to your family. If you need support feel free to reach out to me and I'll be happy to help.
