|  | | | If you just tested positive for HIV, you may not want to think about having sex. Some people who get HIV feel guilty or embarrassed. These are common reactions, especially if you got HIV through sex. Chances are, however, that you will want to have sex again. The good news is that there is no reason why you can't. People with HIV enjoy sex and fall in love, just like other people. You can have a good sex life, even if you have HIV. |
If you are having a hard time dealing with negative feelings like anger or fear, you can get help. Talk to your doctor about support groups or counseling. Sex is a very tough topic for many people with HIV--you are not alone.
By reading this information, you are already taking a good first step toward a healthy sex life. Having good information will help you make good decisions.
