No doubt living with HIV ain’t a picnic. It can be especially tough when dealing with matters of the homo heart, as 33-year old Andrew March, a hemophiliac who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion at age 13, tells The Guardian:
I have had two relationships but the psychological aspects are an absolute nightmare in terms of dating. I have met people who are wonderful and would be wonderful partners but it doesn’t get beyond the first week. It’s really hard. I feel like I’m poisonous.
That’s the saddest thing we’ve read all week. Nay, all month. Hang in there, Mr. March, your prince charming will come. And, if not, who cares? You don’t need no man – that’s why God invented dildos. And hookers.

I know how this guy feels, but there is someone out there for everyone. I am proof POSITIVE

Most 33-year-olds I know haven’t had a relationship. Not sure he can blame the HIV.

Read My Pet Virus by Shawn Decker.
It’s a great book about how he is a hemophiliac and also contracted HIV through blood transfusions.
In fact, he was kicked out of school for being HIV positive.
By the way, Shawn is straight.
I have exchanged emails with him, hoping to set up a speaking event on my campus. He is a great guy who tours the country with his wife raising awareness.

“By the way, Shawn is straight.” I suspected as much. Christ, Queerty, get it rigth before you post!

Go to http://www.HIVnet.com – there are about 50,000 hiv guys and girls there who are looking to date other HIVers. Everybodys poz so you don’t have to have..”the conversation”. Worked for me. It might work for you – good luck!

Andrew March,
It is difficult to date when POZ, I’ve been Poz since 85′ I’ve had long term partners both HIV pos and neg, and I’m currently in a 5 year relationship with another PWA. I met him in Gay.com POZ HIV chat room. Good Luck finding someone to share your life.

Um, nycstudman Shawn Decker, who wrote “My Pet Virus,” is straight. Andrew MArch, the subject of the post above is gay AND a hemopheliac.
