Love in times of HIV

Posted by Miriam Mannak on July 31, 2009

Living together with or being married to someone who is HIV positive, while you are HIV negative. Would you be able to do it? Apart from the fact that your loved one will – at some point – die as a result of this nasty and dreadful virus, you are also confronted with the fact that you are exposed to HIV on a regular basis. Would be able to put your love for someone ahead of your own health?

I am not sure if I could, who knows. Maybe the interviews that I will have with various serodiscordant couples, as well as people who left their partner after finding out they were infected with HIV, will bring some clarity.
