    This is something that I'm struggling with. As much as I want to have sex, I simply can't. I know HIV isn't exclusively a gay disease, but as much as I try, I'm simply afraid of having sex because I'm constantly preoccupied with the idea of being infected. I feel like it's become a trauma of some sort. I do have sexual relations, but they're very mediocre because I try to keep it as distant as possible. How can I deal/overcome this? Is there anyone out there struggling with this? I feel like I'm letting life slip by me. I absolutely hate this. The anxiety I get from sexual contact just isn't worth having sex. I don't know what to do. I want to be young and alive, but I don't want to be a statistic either.

    I tried to just one video but I can't so here is a youtube channel you should watch. Browse through her channel click on some videos that you feel address this issue. The video titles are pretty simple to understand. It will take a little time to go through but I think this will help greatly.
