My BF's new friend... any ideas?

Okay, so I'm trying TRYING to to be jealous/scared of my boyfriend's new friend. Actually I'm jumping ahead of myself here.

The other day, we (my boyfriend and I) had this discussion about if being in a relationship with an HIV+ person is stressfull, and does it make him mad. He answered that yes, it was stressfull, and yes, he was mad that I was +, and he wished I was negative.

Next thing I know, he's made this new friend... a gay guy he used to work with. Maybe I'm being paranoid? Am I so insecure that I'm afraid he might be looking for a different person, someone who is neg?

He spent all of last evening with him. My guy usually calls me and we have a long chat before we go to bed, but last night, he called and basically said, "Good Night." I asked him how his evening went with his new buddy, and he said, "oh, it went alright," and that was the end of that conversation.

What should I do? I asked him yesterday if he planned on doing anything with this guy, and he said, "you're so insecure!" Which, i guess I am!! Should I justt start bracing myself? He says he is perfectly fine with me being pos, but I don't know if he's fine with our relationship, me pos, him neg. Please, any advice?!?!?

" Hey DM,

Maybe you should speak with him about it again, and see what he says. If he comes out with 'You're so insecure' again, tell him that you ARE feeling insecure, that you need some reassurance, and that if he has any problems with your relationship he needs to tell you straight away out of respect.

If he cares about you, then he will understand why you need the extra reassurance on this.

Hope it all works out for ya, and let us know how it goes! "

" I just wanted to let everyone know that we went out to dinner today... and he told me he just wants to have friends who are gay, just to have some peers that are like him.

So... I am just paranoid!! :) Thanks for the support you guys. My guy was really affectionate today. He's great. Haha... I need to be more secure!!!! "
