Would you date/marry someone who has HIV or AIDS?

I think I'd stay away from someone that had either, if she had it before I knew them. But if they contracted it somehow during the relationship (without sleeping with someone else), I wouldn't leave them.
 
if i had it i would look for someone else with it, so we could has as much sex as we wanted and it wouldn't matter, cause we both already ahve it, otherwise no, and since i don't have it, no
 
Nope.

It may be cruel or mean or whatever but it would just make me too uncomfortable, I think, and I don't try to get into relationships that are discomforting from the start.
 
No.

I am too selfish and mean. I have been the mommy, the head of household and the strong one for most of my adult life. I dont want the responsibility of caring for someone with AIDs. After a while, I would see it as a burden and become resentful. As for marriage... hahaha!! I have the perfect guy right now.. and he is healthy... and I still wont get married... marrying an AIDs carrier is ootq.

I am too selfish.

Again, all relationships are selfish. We don't date people for selfless reasons. Relationships work best when both parties think they're getting the better end of the deal.

I agree with that, and that's also why I believe in the ladder theory.
 
Since the male to female effectiveness of HIV transmission is a lot greater than the female to male, I'd say women have a lot more to worry about from you guys than you do from women.Particularly with guys being "on the down low" being the current rage as well as IV drug usage/opiate addictions among professional people.
 
HAHHAA Other questions: Would you date/marry a psychopath? Would you date/marry an axe murderer? HIV/AIDs is about as damaged goods as a person can get.

Seriously, haha.

But he's a legitmate question: If you were deeply in love with someone, and you found out they had AIDS, but you didnt get it cause you practiced safe sex, would you dump them?
 
I guess it depends on the situation.
If she somehow contracted the disease after we were already married, through blood tranfusion etc, then yes I would still love her all the same. But if I were dating or casually seeing some girl, thinking of making something more from the relationship, then I found out she had HIV or AIDS, then definately no, I would not continue the relationship, and I'd be scared sh!tless till I was tested.

Tough question, that one.
Hope it never happens.

Same.

It's very easy to protect yourself. When I did volunteer work I knew many long term HIV+/- couples.


Same

Fvck yeah, see ya, stank bitch!!

Lumathix's conditions have some merit. I wouldn't divorce Mrsskoorb if she contracted AIDs, but if I was not married to somebody they'd get my foot far up their ass (first I'd make sure no open cuts on it!).

If its true love not even AIDS can keep two people apart and it shouldn't.
 
I know its not nice but I'd have to say no. Kids are part of my future plan and although its not guaranted it would be an issue. 🙁
 
Let me ask a related question: if you found your child had HIV/ AIDS, would you immediately get rid of that child (put up for adoption, abandon in the forrest, etc) in order to "protect" yourself, your partner, and any other children you might have?

If you don't date/marry someone with AIDS, that would never happen.
