This website is about being gay, having HIV, and sex. It has been written primarily for gay men with HIV, and for this reason is written from a positive man’s perspective. For HIV-negative readers who may not know the status of their sexual partners or may be in a relationship with a man who is HIV positive, we hope this site gives you some insight into the issues facing gay men with HIV. Many questions may confront you about sex when you’re HIV positive. Some may be quite specific. Others may be more complex.

We have included edited quotes from both negative and positive gay men who have shared their stories with us. Their experiences highlight the personal impact HIV has on our lives.
