No matter what the media will spin, you really have to be living one hell of a dirty lifestyle to catch HIV. It ain't gonna' happen with a blood transfusion in the first world and a FB friend of mine had a died who died just from that. But, that was the old days.

You should judge. That's just common sense. If you are living right, then you have nothing to be worried about.

I myself have no STDs or health issues, and I would get involved in an LTR with an amazing person with HIV. I knew a platonic acquaintance with HIV. I saw this person really living life and not take time for granted. An inspiration.
Do you think that people who live with HIV would be open to get romantically involved with someone who doesn't have an STD? Or do they feel they have more in common in the long run with people who have the same virus?
Yes, I would, if they have suppressed viral load. The chances of getting HIV from someone who has been on meds for 6 months or more is miniscule. Condoms though, for sure.
Then again, I am extremely educated on this issue; not everyone is--yet. There is really no need for stigma in 2014.
No. I would eventually want to have biological children and would see the risk as too high for transmission not just for myself, but to the child if I were to become infected as well.
You are very wrong about the risk. Mother-to-child transmission is almost unheard of in the developed world when mothers receive standard prenatal care.

I guess if I got the virus I would live life to the fullest also because after getting it "Life" has more meaning

I don't know.
Also viruses, like bacteria, mutate over time becoming more resistive to the medication as you have seen with MRSA, C-diff and VRE in the hospitals (and now in the gerenal public I must add but they haven't told you lay people about that tho). They are becoming stronger than the medications for these illnesses. It's called survival and all living organism will try to survive and reproduce it offspring; it called translation in the microbiology world
