Would you date someone with AIDS?

[Anonymous]

Yes

Yes if they are on medication and cannot spread the disease and will take extra precaution

Never, people with AIDS are gross and I don't care about advancements in medicine that makes it more manageable

No for another reason, please explain

PrEP and PEP exist for people WITHOUT HIV or AIDS to prevent being infected even if the virus enters the blood stream. Would you take it regardless if your partner has AIDS or not?

[Phantomshadow77]

I don’t think they’re gross but I don’t want any risk of getting aids.

[Asker]

There is no risk of they are on their medication that makes them not able to spread it coupled with available options like condoms.

Plus relationships don't even always Involve risk.

You can get AIDS by walking outside and a crazy person rubbing an open wound on your gums after you brushed your teeth.

There's also drugs like PrEP that prevent you from being infected on the off chance that HIV or AIDS enters your blood stream.

There's PEP too.

[Asker]

Those drugs would eliminate your odds of getting AIDS even if you ever never date or have sex with a person with HIV or AIDS, so if your main concern is eliminating risk, would you take the PrEP now?

[Phantomshadow77]

I understand that but if he has aids, there’s probably a high likelihood that he sleeps around and I don’t trust guys who sleep around to actually consistently take those precautions. Guys who sleep around typically just sees women as objects so I doubt that he would care enough about me to even take those precautions.

[Asker]

People can be born with it too. Is it better to assume they sleep around if they have it?

Also like another chatter said, "I don't date black people" do you assume all black people have AIDS too?

[Anonymous]

I accidentally clicked on yes but i would not date someone with aids

[Asker]

Do you agree with the person who said "no, I don't date blacks"

[Asker]

Also, what other diseases/conditions would you never date or break up with someone if they get it?

[Rightonein]

If I can't catch it then it's fine

[Asker]

Which option in the poll did you vote for?

[Rightonein]

Third because I thought I can catch it

[Rightonein]

But I don't think it's gross

[Asker]

The third option is because you think they are gross you don't care about the preventative measures that exist

[Rightonein]

I explained why

[Asker]

Does knowing that between them being medication, using condoms, and your taking PrEP there's a 0 percent chance of you getting infected matter at all.

[Asker]

Now that you know you can not catch it, you can change your vote

[Asker]

Also relationships don't have to equate to sex in the first place, I thought people were educated past the point of thinking you get AIDS from breathing the same air

[Rightonein]

I can't change vote

[Asker]

You can

[Anonymous]

No i don't dare black men

[Asker]

I asked about people with AIDS.

People of other races and genders get AIDS as well. This seems racist

[Opinion Owner]

Not at the proportions of black folks.

[Asker]

What percentage of black men are HIV/AIDS positive that it makes it justifiable to generalize "blacks" as having AIDS?
