More than one million people in the United States are living with HIV. One in Five living with HIV are unaware of their infection. By race, African Americans face the most severe HIV burden. While changes in medicine have made living with HIV far more manageable in recent years, it is still a serious diagnosis that is not meant to be minimized. Many, if not most gay men hold full-time jobs, and manage amazing careers while being HIV+. In fact co-workers may not have any idea, or need any idea that this person is HIV+. In years past, many HIV+ men went on to claim Disability, especially when their T-Cells fell below 200. Going on disability is not as common today. Also there are many HIV+ men who are very healthy, and cite being HIV+ for 30 years now. So what we have is a large segment of the gay population who are HIV+, and yet the statistics are unable to tell the exact numbers. So if an openly gay HIV+ man wants to date what does he do? He does the same thing as any other man, he has to start looking. He also needs to recognize whether he will date a non-HIV+ man. This is an interesting point, which many men spend great time considering. Most HIV+ gay men with whom the author has spoken, would only consider dating an HIV+ man.

Gay men are at increased risk for sexually transmitted infections STIs , like syphilis, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia, and the CDC recommends that all sexually active MSM be tested annually for these infections. That would definitely determine your sexual behavior with that person. If you are HIV+ and meet another man who is openly HIV+, you still have to consider what is SAFE or RISKY behavior. Many gay men who are HIV+ have different views about safe or unsafe sex with another HIV+ person. Please talk to your infectious disease specialist about this, to formulate your decision about your sexual behavior. Where Do You Meet Other HIV+ Men? As stated before, if you live near a large city, go online and look up the gay community centers. Low self-esteem or low self-worth seems to be a limitation with a gay man when newly diagnosed with HIV, or newly out of a long-term relationship. Do an online questionnaire. If you allow yourself to let your HIV status degrade you, then you will never fully engage in life. You also run the risk of getting involved in some unhealthy and perhaps addictive behavior s to medicate your feelings. If you feel your self-worth is a problem, seek professional help, or join a support group, or read some self-help books. Take action, though, as inaction will not change anything about your feelings or behavior. The more you hear yourself say positive things about yourself, the sooner you will likely believe it. Yet HIV is such an intimate issue, and who wants to be rejected all of the time? So fear of rejection leads many HIV+ men to either stay home and not date, or only do hook-ups from their friendly hook-up websites, or anonymous sex sites, like bathhouses and book stores.

We are at high levels of every occupation, perform invaluable jobs and tasks daily for society, raise children, go to school, play sports, and solve problems. We are in the government, and the military. We are in the police forces, the firefighters, education at every level, and the medical field. We are not our jobs or our careers though, but we are valuable human beings who cannot be plugged into a label. HIV is just another medical issue that some compare to Diabetes. It needs care and monitoring, but should not interfere with us having a normal dating and relationship life. It is only our fears and negative views of ourselves that limit us.
