Posted by Pozziepinoy on 7:31 AM

hi there good evening and thanks for having this kind of site para sa mga katulad kong positive at naghahanap ng kalinga.. anyway may tanong lng ako..

may boyfriend ako ngyn at alam po nya ung tungkol sa sakit ko at handa daw sya kung sakaling magkaroon din sya kasi talagang nagmamahalan kami pero lagi kong sinasabi sa kanya na ayokong matulad sya sa akin.. pero one time umuwi kami sa province nila, nung natutulog na kami hindi sya nakapagpigil and he sucked me.. nung nakauwi na kami sa kanya-kanyang bahay natxtx sya sa akin na may nalasahan daw syang cum ko pero konting-konti lng daw at idinura nya agad..

posible po kaya na nahawa na agad sya ng ganun? sana po matulungan nyo ako kasi hindi ko kakayanin na pati sya mahawa sa akin.. mahal na mahal ko po sya.. maraming salamat po

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi there.

Thank you for your email. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

I am proud of you for telling your HIV status with your partner. Some PLHIV find it hard to tell it to partner thinking that he will be judged and the partner will leave him or e scared of his. In your case, I felt how genuine your love with each other.

However, loving doesn't mean sharing each other's diseases. One can love and still be careful.

With regards to your question, like what I always tell my readers, oral sex is a very low risky for contracting HIV. Unless of course the receiver has mouth sores or wounds inside his mouth during the act, then the risk becomes higher. You guys can still have sex as long as there is protection. Please use condoms and things will be fine.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.

Stay healthy,

Pozziepinoy
