How will it affect me? · 14 June 07

As discussed in the section “My partner has just told me he has HIV” you are likely to feel a number of different things, many of which may be associated with fears about your own health.

Depending on the outcomes of any tests that you have done there may be implications on your own personal health. Initially there may be an impact on your mental wellbeing regardless of your own status.

HIV can introduce tensions into a relationship that weren’t there before or make existing ones worse. It can even be a trigger for blame or violence. Relationship counselling and domestic violence support are available for gay as for straight couples.

Depending on what you and your partner decide and what he is looking for from you, you may have to become their key supporter and confident which can be emotionally draining, therefore you need to ensure you get time out for yourself and that you tell your partner if at times it is getting too much.
