FACE HIV
With Dr. Watiti
Dear Doctor,
I am confused! I am HIV-positive and have tried to date only HIV-positive men who have disappointed me. Are there some few good HIV-positive sensible men left in Uganda? How can I get in touch with them?

Dear Kim,
Relationships are usually complex in nature and when HIV/AIDS is involved, the situation can be worse. From what you have said, it is not clear why your relationships have ended up in disappointment and so it may not be easy to help you.
However, if you are suggesting that the source of your disappointment is something unpleasant that you have encountered among HIV-positive men in your country, it may be necessary to employ the services of an HIV/AIDS counsellor to discuss and guide you through the issues in question.
It is also not clear what you mean by HIV- positive men being ‘sensible’ and unless one understands what you mean, it is difficult to get you in touch with any.
I suggest that before you look at yourself as being HIV-positive, it is important for you to remember that you are a human being with a personality and this does affect the way you relate with others, whether they are HIV-positive or not.
My advice though is that you try to relate with people normally without having to front your HIV status because it is even possible to date one who is HIV-negative as long as you are both committed to avoid HIV transmission to the negative partner. I believe there are sensible men and women everywhere and that relationships that last and that are a source of joy are those where you are not only concerned about your needs being met, but rather, to meet the needs of the person you claim to love.
I hope you are not like most people with HIV who have found it difficult to live with it comfortably. Self-stigma makes it difficult for people living with HIV/AIDS to have a good self-image, and difficult for one to have meaningful and lasting relationships.
