overhead something very interesting the other day. someone says that it doesn't matter if your partner is HIV positive, you don't need to protect yourself. God will protect you.
incredulous, i force myself into the conversation. i tell this lady that i think she is giving other people dangerous advice. not that i do not believe in the power of God to heal, i do and have experienced it myself. but if you know that your partner is positive and you know the steps that you can take to protect yourself then why not protect yourself. you can't protect yourself 100%, ultimately God is the protector.
but i think it's foolishness to know the protective measures and say that God will protect you. that's why God also gave you common sense, intelligence as well as wisdom. take the necessary steps and God will do the rest. to me, what the lady says sounds like going to sleep without locking your doors coz u believe God will protect. God is the ultimate protector but u still have to lock the door. to me that kind of reasoning sounds more like self-deciet. you gotta do what you gotta do

this sounds so very difficult but i believe in what you are saying that, perhaps one needs to pray as they protect themselves, not just claim that they are. it would really sound foolish if one was to go into a relationship where their partner is positive with the idea that God will protect them, yes , He is the protector but stop and think why He has made it known to you the status of your beloved, He is not saying leave but all u have to do is be more careful when it comes to intimacy related issues...
