What’s the secret?
Whatever your HIV status the secret of a strong relationship is communication and honesty. It’s useful to think about how we communicate.
Often we communicate over difficult things in two unhelpful ways:
- we attack
- we withdraw
But in the future you might come up against some problems or concerns to do with being a mixed HIV status couple. Thinking about these problems in advance may make them easier to deal with if they crop up later.
