Would you mind living with someone who had HIV?


he did not tell you when you moved in, but you found out later. What would you do?

It's his life. Unless you plan on having unprotected sex with him, it doesn't affect you.

You only need to worry about his fluids meeting yours. You can use the same dishes, couch, etc. You wont catch it.
He likely didnt want to say anything right away because thats very personal, hard to admit to having and also makes it harder for him to find a room mate.
Just let it go and educate yourself about HIV.

it would be a little scary at first, but im sure he would understand that.

you cant just move our without a reason, otherwise, you should make all your future/potiential roommates take an aids test. and its bad karma

you gotta treat him like he doesnt have it EXCEPT when there is potenital of blood/semen exchange.

barring that, what do you have to worry about?

I would be pissed that he wasn't honest, but I would understand the reason behind it. It would really depend on how good of a friend this person was when I agreed to let him move in. If it was someone that was a really good friend of mine, I would stay pissed off for awhile for lying to me (I hate a liar)..... but if is was a "room mate for rent" situation, I would understand why he didn't say anything- discrimination is a factor! Either way, the HIV wouldn't bother me as much as the lack of honesty.

I would be fine with it. It may not be his fault anyway. He can do what he wants with his life. Maybe he didn't tell you because he thought you would mind.

It would make me nervous (despite all the information out there) I think its human nature to fear something that could potentially kill you. If we had seperate bathrooms, I would probably feel alot better. I would also want to be honest about my reservations but be compassionate and sensitive at the same time.

well if he doesn't have a tendency of raping me or trying to give me blood transfusions i think i'll be alright as long as he says something before i try to find him a date.

well i wouldnt be to happy because living with someone is a big commitment and they should trust you and tell you but thats in an ideal world so i suppose if i loved them i wouldnt realy mind

It would depend on a lot of things. What kind of lifestyle this person was living, whether we were sexually involved with each other, how well the person took care of his condition i.e.
taking medications regularly, see doctors regularly, etc. I would be upset that he had not told me and there would be a trust issue in the future. But it would depend on the kind of person he was in a whole.
