This question was asked 4 months ago, but I'll still answer. My answer is no I wouldn't date someone with HIV. I'm a medical case manager for an HIV clinic, and all of my clients have CDC defined AIDS. I absolutely love my job, and I've become the HIV educator for all of my friends and family.
Just a few points that I like to tell people...
1. HIV is not hard to transmit...through the forms of transmission (vaginal fluid, semen, blood, breast milk). It doesn't have to be repeated exposure.
2. The HIV will attach to CD4 cells (also known as T-cells) which are in both men and women and change the DNA to make more HIV infected cells.
3. As Beverly stated, it does seem to be harder for women to transmit the virus to men...but it's not impossible.
4. Be protected...get tested!
