Positive and Positive Sex

But regardless of the HIV status of the partner, it’s important for someone who is HIV positive to think about protecting their own health as well, by avoiding exposure to other STDs, such as hepatitis, syphilis, gonorrhea, parasites, and herpes, which can weaken the immune system, and make life more difficult.

Another issue that has raised concern lately regarding positive / positive sex is the possibility of acquiring different strains of HIV from your partner. Though research has only been able to identify a very small number of cases where re-infection has occurred, at this point in time researchers vary in their opinion about whether re-infection really exists.
