An oldie but a goodie. We love these blogs from POZ Magazine ❤

Living with HIV doesn’t mean you have to live without love and romance. Plenty of positive people have met, and married, their soul mates. How do these couples make it work? What role does the virus play in their relationships and health? And what advice can they offer lovelorn singles and struggling couples? Three long-term couples—in which both partners are HIV positive—get to the heart of the matter.

Three HIV-positive couples share their inspiring love stories.

What is HIV treatment?

HIV treatment (antiretroviral therapy or ART) involves taking medicine as prescribed by a health care provider. HIV treatment reduces the amount of HIV in your body and helps you stay healthy.

There is no cure for HIV, but you can control it with HIV treatment.
Most people can get the virus under control within six months.
HIV treatment does not prevent transmission of other sexually transmitted diseases.
