Questions for everyone
« on: October 10, 2007, 11:02:52 am »
1. Have you ever lied about your HIV status to anyone when they have asked you including sex dates or hook ups? If so, explain why. 

2. Did you practice safer sex now since your diagnosis?


3. What has changed you the most since your diagnosis?

1. No.  Never been asked.  I would tell if I were asked.  (And yes, I've been declined for disclosing before too.)
2. Yes
3. Almost everything.  I can say (and my friends will back me up on this) that I have changed quite a bit since my diagnosis.  Not in a bad way either.

1) NO...never lied and I just tell it upfront without being asked
2)I know I should but the truth is:  NO, not always and I only have sex with other pozzies.
3)as much as I would like to say very little, the truth is that my whole life changed when I learned I was positive...I have just recently, in the past 2 years, become somewhat myself again.

I've never lied about my HIV status.  I have had unprotected sex since then, but the partner knew about me being positive.  The biggest change for me has been the constant worry about money I didn't have when I had a good job.  The job I have now is nothing compared to the one I had in '93.  But, that's what I'm going to school for.  I guess it has also put more sense of urgency about doing the things I want to do that I know will be positive for me.

1.) No one has ever asked me my status before hooking up.
2.) Yes because I haven't had sex in over years. If I was in the position to, I wouldn't unless it was with a poz person because I have had bad responses from negs.

3.) I think I have become more understanding in different ways.
