This topic should of been more personal to provoke better conversation. Like make it a family member


if it's a family member, i'll make an exception.

if your reason for saying no is irrational fear of being infected by the person why does your mind change if its a family member?


I don't let anyone live with me cause I like my space. My sister and her kids have lived with me for 6 months even tho it slowly drives me insane. Its family bruh

i mean that makes sense completely. I'm just talking in the context of this. When the question is posed as it was in the OP the answer is No and the reason is usually fear of being infected. I understand its family but how does that remove the fear of being infected for those particular people?

Really surprised at the answers in here. I feel like I'm in an elderly facebook group.

I'm extremely paranoid about these kind of things and even I'd be fine with being housemates.

If it was a normal sane person? Sure.
If it was a crazy person or Eric Cartman? Hell no.


Cartman would infect you for eating one of his pot pies.

Are you looking at me?
ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?!?!?!
Thats it, I will give you HIV when you sleep!

It doesn't. It just makes you more willing to either conquer that fear or live with it. Im easily distracted by noise and sometimes I just sit there not being able to enjoy shit cause my sister and her kids are being noisey. Im either gonna conquer it or slowly go crazy cause it's family bruh.

I'm actually immune to HIV due to slowly building up a tolerance over time so I wouldn't care.

I would just inject myself with tiny amounts of infected blood and built up a tolerance.

People saying "no". Why? There's no real danger of getting infected yourself.

Why would you even ask this knowing you can eliminate all possibilities and hypotheticals by simply saying no? Liberals desire to find an excuse for everything and that is not necessarily needed.

My no wasn't because a fear of being infected. It was because I didn't want to deal with taking care of a sick person. Or if they died I'd have to deal with throwing out all their stuff as well as informing their family they died. I rather not deal with that.

They take meds that allow them to live completely normal and healthy lives. Like what year is this even.

Shaming people for wanting to eliminate even the most outlandish way to possibly catch HIV is very much a leftwing thing.

Unless you're exchanging body fluids via sex or breastfeeding, or sharing needles, you're not going to get HIV from someone. There is no defensible reason to refuse to live with someone for fear of getting HIV from them.

Further, no mosquitoes cannot transmit HIV, and no, people with HIV are not horrendously sickly all the time. If they're on treatment and it is working as intended, they're going to live just as long and just as healthily as anyone without HIV.

Source: I work in public health, and often on HIV


Fucking thank you.

Fucking thank you.

I tried. But holy smokes do people cling tightly to their ignorance-based fear. I knew there was still tons of stigma in the world, but wouldn't have expected so much of it here.

So, as part of my job this summer, I'm going to be doing site visits to HIV programs around the country, doing interviews, focus groups, and other forms of data collection about the programs, patient perceptions, etc. I feel like this topic has been a useful eye opener ahead of that experience.

Mostly paranoia, which is why I'd rather not be housemates with said person.

Shaming people for wanting to eliminate even the most outlandish way to possibly catch HIV is very much a leftwing thing.

And exaggerating a threat where none exists (or is microscopic) is very much a right-wing thing.

That's why the center is best.
