I tested negative ·
If you’re negative, you may have very mixed views. You may feel a sense of relief at not having HIV, a sense of guilt that you don’t have HIV and your partner does and/or a sense of anxiety about what to do next.
Even if you decide you wish to continue with the relationship, you may find that your partner does not and you will need to deal with the emotions associated with this. It is likely to be a difficult time for both of you. Talk and listen to one another and see where and how the relationship progresses.
Whether you are both positive or one of you is positive and the other one negative (sometimes healthcare professionals call this serodiscordant), you will need to consider safer sex practices, within your current relationship and future relationships.
Apart from the risk of STIs, unprotected sex may pose the risk of reinfection (superinfection) with a different strain of HIV. Cases have been reported where people with HIV have been infected with a different strain of the virus which has been resistant to anti-HIV drugs.
