I am sorry Josh, but you are not entitled to have sex. People are allowed to cancel plans and get out of dates for any reasons, including your HIV diagnosis.

How come that not wanting to risk getting STDs or HIV infection is considered a negative thing?

I believe OP was more making the statement that he appreciates when people state that they're uncomfortable with it. As any grown adult should be able to do.
I did not read his comment as entitled. He is complaining about the status quo.
I agree with other comments. He was careful with his wording to reflect how he feels, without blaming others.
I see his post as lamenting the fact that people are not honest with him about how his HIV status affects them. Instead, they choose to lie to him and beat around the bush.
Your comment at OPs seem to be misaligned, or rather very aligned - you're arguing againt his point but you seem in agreement.
