So here we go , I've met someone who I feel could be it. We're currently dating and she was great and told me up front about everything. However we have not gotten to the sex part yet since I am not infected .
the disease does not change my feelings about her. So I geuss I'm looking for some input on how to delve into the conversation some more with her about the disease. Also I'd like to hear people's opinions on odds of contraction and some perspective on how to be supportive . Thanks
