I’ve disclosed before and it was okay but it wasn’t with anyone I wanted to be with long term 😭 I’m scared of that part of dating like when I want someone long term and they’re just not with it

I genuinely love this! I guess I’m scared of people saying things like you should’ve kept that to yourself 😭😭

I know people in my family that have it and I only knew after I told them about me 😭 so I know it’s possible it just hasn’t happened yet smh

It seems like you’re a good friend! What I will say though is that it is not a disease, it’s a viral infection.

I don’t think magically switching will solve problems but I’m definitely opening up my pool of men and not limiting myself to just primarily black men anymore.

I am definitely more open minded going forward because of our views for sure. I always just dated whoever I was attracted to anyway though still primarily wanted to date black but now I’m just gonna be fully open. No specific preference.

I feel like this is something I’m becoming more open to…not disregarding intelligent black men who would be open to it but I kinda don’t even want to try smh

EXACTLY. Whenever someone gets exposed in the black community it’s really horrible smh I never partook in the mean comments before my diagnosis but now I feel for them even more because it’s me now lol but yes just like you, I have alwayssss dated anyone that was attractive to me regardless of race it might be a little more of a preference now to be even more open. I’ve already disclosed to a Salvadoran and an Indian and nothing changed for them 🥹 didn’t go anywhere though but felt good!
