There are people I believe in the Internet that will date someone that is positive because they are positive there should be decent people I don’t have any idea but you may give that a chance. Being lonely is not a good feeling but you do have a daughter to raise and take care of and be an example to you may have to put aside having a partner for a while until you get yourself financially stable and in a home for you and your child which is now your family. Stay on the medication and make sure that your child stays on a medication. The best of all to you

Irene...if you are reading this...please love yourself first. Being positive with HIV is not death sentence nor makes you less a person. So for now don't think much of relationships...those showing interest in you avoid them and concentrate on yourself first. Get counseling, and yes your partner is out there waiting for you at the right time. You are beautiful and young...there is light at the end of that Tunnel.
