There is this guy I know we talk when we see each other at the town hangout and have kissed a couple of times nothing real serious (yet). My cousin is tells me to stay away from him because his ex-wife has HIV (cousin worked at ex-wifes ob/gyn office). I know this does not mean he has it but they were together for a long time so there is a good chance. I really like this guy. We have not even went out on a date or anything but I have a feeling it may happen. My worry is the hiv should i forget about this guy or just be real carful. I can really ask anyone I know because he does not even know i know this and if it get out my cousin could loose her license. Need advice please help.

I say if you are interested go for it. I don't see it being any different then when you didn't know anything about him. Of course you should use caution, but not with just him, with everyone. Actually ask yourself this...if he's positive would it change how you feel about him? If not, then continue talking to him and let whatever happens happen. If so, then stop the relationship from going any further NOW! Take care!

You can go ahead and start a relationship. But, when it comes to getting intimate, make sure you SUGGESST you BOTH be tested, as it would be safe for BOTH of you, just in case there is a mis-step in the future. Make sure he knows your sexual healtg is important to you.

If he is positive, you can still have a good, yet always SAFE relationship with him. You will BOTH need to be aware, and take responsibility for the fact that YOU could become infected. If hes negative, then you guys will KNOW everything is fine, and maybe his ex-wifes medical history wasnt considered properly!! Second hand info isnt always accurate.

Good Luck

I agree with the above posts, make you you both get tested, it will save you alot of worry over this. Until then make sure you use a condom each and every time.
