Opposites attract. So it’s okay if a couple is serodiscordant, which is when one partner is living with HIV and the other is not. Mixed status couples can still keep things hot and healthy.

There are ways you can protect and care for yourself and your partner:

• Talk to your partner who’s living with HIV about the importance of sticking to HIV treatment: a lower (ideally undetectable) viral load can help lower the chance of passing HIV on to your partner during sex
  
• Use condoms consistently and correctly
  
• Talk to your doctor about all of your prevention options, like PrEP and PEP if you are HIV-negative, or TasP if you are living with HIV
  
• Get tested routinely since some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can make it easier to transmit HIV
