These HIV+ Guys Read Out Hurtful Grindr Messages

Greg said, "Dating an HIV-positive, undetectable guy is the best way to make sure you stay negative. The researchers followed 1, couples, both gay and straight — all of whom had unprotected sex — and in over 44, sexual acts, not a single HIV-negative partner became infected. He also revealed what reactions he has received on dating apps, "You get asked, 'Are you clean? It doesn't make any sense and it's degrading. Yet it's become accepted on apps that that's the way we should talk to each other. Rualdhri continued: "I'd be more than happy to sit down with someone and explain the ins and outs of having HIV, but when they're that blunt it makes me just think it's a waste of time. As a result of such negativity, Rualdhri no longer uses dating apps. Since coming off Grindr I've regained self-worth and realised that those apps are not good for your mental health. But as well as encouraging people to educate themselves about HIV, Rualdhri also blamed the lack of education about the virus in schools.
