I know that some of you have had difficulties in this area. All the people on this website are, or at least state that they are, HIV+. I am fortunate that I am not having to deal with this. Just letting you all know I have never personally used this service, but I do know someone that has used this website successfully and had found a partner. But I am not sure if it is available in all areas of the world. I wish only the best for you all in all areas of your lives. I am grateful I have a wonderful relationship. If you are looking, I wish you all the best also.
http://personals.poz.com/ It can't hurt to check it out. I figured we all found each other on this blog/website. Maybe you too can find someone.

I think that you know very well how men are, they need something from you they will do anything to get what they wanted. So don`t blame yourself the way you`re saying , what I can tell you is that find a counsel who can give the right advice, and also pray so that you forget the past and I know GOD will not leave you alone.Be happy and forgive him who it to you.
Veronica, you don't have to feel like that. We all make mistakes and some get away with them and some don't. I have been + for over 10 years, I trusted the wrong person too. I had a over 9yr long marriage and then found out his sexual preferences were other that were not in my best interest. Finding out about my HIV when I was pregnant and then stayed with him for over 9 yrs and then finding out he likes ts, felt like an iced cold bucket of water that woke me up from my 9 yrs of sleep. I have an 11 yr old daughter and now an 8 month old precious boy and a wonderful husband that helped me understand that I could give myself another chance.
It was very hard for me to learn to trust and I am still in the process. But I am glad I got out of there. HIV helps appreciate life more. I thank GOD for giving me another day of health. HIV is not a death sentence.
Still, it is hard to be stronger than all the people who literally run away from you...Good luck to you, and god bless. The only thing that helps me at all is, instead of focusing on all the stuff that makes me sad and angry, I try to say thank you for all of the great things, which makes me realize how many of those great things there are. And, even if you feel like you are alone, in a way you never are.
oh dear..shame :(. My dream was to marry a man I loved and live happily ever after. But soon after I got married I was tested positive. I blamed myself for being so stupid because during my relationship with my then boyfriend we broke up and due to frustration about loosing me he slept with a number of women. When we reconciled, thou we should have gone for tests we just took things from where we left them and decided to get married. I felt my dreams were shattered cos I may not be able to see my grandchildren because of this disease.
But i looked at other HIV+ persons in my community and I realized a new life has just begun, I realise everyone is going to die and I just have to live positively and take my medications and most of all pray to God for good health.
HIV is just a sickness like all others: diabetic persons take tablets all the days of their lives and also have a reduction in their cd4 and so do people who suffer from cancer, high blood pressure etc.
I've seen others like me lead a normal healthy lives with their healthy children.
After my diagnosis, I became so close to God that I began to see his purpose for me, I asked God to heal me from HIV. Believe me I feel so healthier each new day and I believe in my heart that I am healed>> I don't need to do a re-run of tests.. I still take my drugs regularly.
Just ask Jesus to come into your life and take control, everything will be alright... Jesus asks us not to worry about the future because He 's the one who hold our tomorrow and he holds your hand. GOD BLESS YOU
