Should you dump your girlfriend if she has HIV?

We've been dating for 3 months and although we've never had sex, she recently started introducing me to other people as her boyfriend (me likewise). So today she drops the megabomb that she is HIV positive, I have no idea what to say. Should I just silently dump her?

  • Unless you really think she is so right for you that you are willing to deal with the complications that come along with her illness, yes, you should break up with her. But NOT silently. She really did nothing wrong and she deserves to be treated with respect.

    Keep in mind that there are ways to significantly decrease her chances of transmitting HIV to you through medications and condoms. But nobody could blame you for not wanting to continue the relationship. Still, there's no good reason not to be considerate when you break up with her.

  • dump her or wear two condoms lol
    but think about how hard it must be for her too

    • Wearing two condoms is actually less safe because they can damage each other. They're not meant to be used that way.

    • @samhradh_leannan wow I actually learned something on this website thanks

  • She should have told you before you guys were official.

    • Would you if you didn't think you would ever find anyone that wants to be with you if they knew?

    • @hifromkai I'd still tell them ahead of time because I don't enjoy my time or anyone else's time being wasted. Also, withholding information like that in the U. S. if you know you have it is illegal.

    • @hifromkai So she's have to tell him sooner or later anyway.

  • No it's not a good idea it would destroy her and you can still have sex with her and stuff you just need to use condoms hiv is very treatable and as scary as it is it's not as easy as you might think to catch it but if you really do like her then it shouldn't be that big of an issue

  • Act out the scene like this. Start from 1:05:

  • Dump her now stupid, there is no working cure to hiv.

  • I'm not gonna lie. I'd dump my boyfriend if that happened.

  • You shouldn't silently dump her. You should dump her and tell her why. You should thank her for having told you before sex but rebuke her for having wasted three months of your life.

    • Come on, isn't it rough enough on her that she's going to have a hard time finding someone who's not going to run from that news? Can you BLAME her for waiting until she trusted him to tell him? There's no need to rebuke her. This is a tough situation and it's not like she tricked him into having unprotected sex or waited three YEARS to tell him. She really did nothing wrong.

  • No. She needs support and you shouldn't be a jerk. Don't have sex with her though.

  • OR it could be just a ploy to dump you... She has Medical Records (that's for sure), demand her to show it to you... If she can't provide it, she's clearly making things up

    • If she has to go through all that and can't be direct and dump him then she should be dumped on those grounds as well.

    • That theory is just a tad nuts.

  • if you like her then you shouldn't. but I've never been in this situation before

  • yeah why would this even be a question

  • If she was already aware of this, that shez hiv +, before being in relationships with you then yes dump her immediately.

    • Why does it matter when she found out? It's a good thing that she already knew, otherwise she might have accidentally passed it to him.

    • @samhradh_leannan that's what I said, if she found it later then it's ok, but leave her if she knows it before being in relationship.

    • That's not what I said though. Why does she deserve to be broken up with only if she already knew about it? That doesn't make sense. She did nothing wrong. They haven't had sex yet. So she didn't put his safety at risk.

  • Of course, why not?

  • YES!
    She got it either from being a skank or being an addict... both of these things are gross and therefore toss that trash.

  • Nooo not silently. Just tell her your honest reason.

  • It's a legitimate concern, and I wouldn't blame you if this ends the relationship.

  • Yeah drop the mother fucking BITCH!!

    • That's a bit strong in my opinion. If they had sex and she knew she was HIV positive, THEN she would be a bitch.

    • Fuck you old faggot pussy

    • She did nothing at all to warrant name calling.
