Sex without a condom

I have found this man and we truly love each other.  He so wants to have unprotected sex with me and I want it more than anything.  I dont know where my head is at the moment.  What if what he is telling me is not true.  What if he is hiv positive.  Is it worth it.  Gee I am 52 so its not a disaster if it happens.  People seem to be living a long time now and who knows how many years I have left.  I am so petrified of it, but maybe it is the best thing that could happen to me.   I know that sounds stupid

Wait 3 months, then both of you get tested, that way you'll conclusively know you're both negative and then do whatever you want. Use condoms until then, just in case because it's stupid to risk it.

You should always use condoms unless you have found someone you would like to only be having sex with for the rest of your life.  I recommend you both go get a test done together.

USE CONDOMS until you know he is committed to you and HIV negative.
