Love Can Survive HIV
(Chicago Tribune) — Kathy Jacobs-McLoyd didn’t expect to fall in love with someone with HIV. But when the man she had recently spent time volunteering with in Kenya sent her a six-page love letter, she opened up to the possibilities. “One day early on, I turned to look at you or say something and my heart just kind of skipped a beat, it fluttered in my chest … and just as quickly rose to my throat leaving me momentarily speechless,” Peter McLoyd wrote. Within six months, they were married. Now, they are among the country’s growing number of HIV serodiscordant couples — or, more simply, “magnet couples” who are attracted to each other even though one partner is positive and one is negative.
