just so you know if you ever have an exposure to HIV you have 72 hrs to stop the virus from duplicating in your body, how so
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-exposure_prophylaxis
so how do you obtain these drugs? You can go to the ER or to an HIV specialist which you should follow up with anyway, Its better than seeing an ID specialist. Some prevention programs or medical universities might offer nPEP for free FYI these drugs are expensive one drug like combivir cost 1000 a bottle out of pocket and some doctors have a 36 hr time limit instead of 72 hr to administer the drugs based on some studies of the efficacy of PEP

Only gays get aids.

I took an HIV test a few years back. It's pretty weird. You have to sign a waiver saying that you know that if it comes out positive, you are probably going to die. Oh , it came out negative in case you were wondering.

How long do you have to wait for the results? They have rapid tests now where they just swab your gums and it comes back in like 20 minutes.

Why are you gay? Seriously transmission rates for hetero men are very low.

If it makes you feel any better, the chances of a male contracting HIV from a single act of insertive penile-vaginal sex is roughly 1 in 2000...and that is assuming that the woman is HIV+.
-
I had one ages ago when an ex-girlfriend made me have a battery of tests before I could bareback her. I knew I'd be ok but the waiting was awful.
Ironically, she had a urinary infection and I was clean as a whistle.

Another case of the homos trying to make HIV out like it's "everybody's problem".
It's supposed to be prevalent in the black community too. Is that because they have a lot of brothas on the DL, or because of tbombz?

Its not about one bitch, I did fuck a very nasty one some years ago, its the fact I have never used condoms and been around for a while, plus anal sex (to women, mind you) and all that stuff, I dont know, I just thought that while I was at it Id take it, and now I kind of "regret it", Im probably being paranoid but like the other guy said, the nervous can be excrutiating and Im venting in the thunderdome. First time I ever take it too so...

You're fine. I was a bit nervous too when I took it. But then I found out that--as has been stated--it's unlikely you got it from engaging in straight sex.
Considering that the last 'really nasty' skank was years ago, I'd say you have nothing to worry about.

Abstract: According to a new study from the University of California, San Francisco, women are far more likely than men to be infected by an HIV-positive heterosexual partner. Nancy Padian, the study's lead investigator, noted in the current issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology that women were approximately eight times more likely than men to become infected by an HIV-positive partner. The researchers estimated that male-to-female unprotected heterosexual intercourse results in about nine infections to every 10,000 unprotected sexual encounters, while female-to-male transmission rates are even lower.
From a different study:
"For regular partners who were active in anal sex, the risk for transmission was 1 in 10. The risk for the insertive partner (the "top") is believed to be about 10 times less than for the receptive partner (the "bottom"). Another study showed 1 in 50 for receptive anal intercourse. [I assume here it is not considering 'regular activity' but a general risk]
The risk of HIV infection during vaginal intercourse is believed to be much less. One estimate was 1 in 200,000 for transmission from infected women to men and 1 in 100,000 for transmission from infected men to women"
-
Female to male transmission is very inefficient, says Dr. Nancy Padian a professor in the department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the University of California, San Francisco and the author of a 1996 10 year study of HIV infected heterosexual couples, the nation's longest and largest. She points out that “its two to three times easier for men to infect women.” But even so, if there are no other risk factors involved, the rate at which an infected man will transmit the virus to a woman is one in 1,100 sex acts.

i am sure certain companies do not make any profit of this whole sex = dangerous and will kill you campaign... ::) ::) ::) ::)

I'm just talking about stuff like herpes, hpv, and bacterial infections. Not necessarily anything that will kill you but you would definitely like to avoid. The presence of other std's also makes it more likely for you to acquire hiv. This is because things such as herpes can cause open wounds on the penis that make it easier for hiv to enter the body. A lot of people believe this is one of the primary reasons that hiv is much more common among the heterosexual community in Africa. When people over there get an std, they are much less likely to have access to treatment and therefore are more prone to open sores. Without an open sore on your penis, the only way for it to enter your body is through the urethra, which is still possible but a very inefficient means of transmission. Women, on the other hand, have mucous membranes covering the entire inner lining of the vagina, which means there is a much larger surface area that could potentially be exposed. Vaginal fluids also have a lower concentration of hiv virus, on average, than semen does. Also, if you are circumcised, that lowers your odds by about 50% according to some studies.

The PCR blood test is the most sensitive that traces the virus itself and not the antibodies which is why it should be performed several days from the exposure I believe it 10 or 12 and no later unfortunately its not universally regarded for diagnostic purposes due to high rate of false positives and is expensive but you might be able to find a prevention program that offers it for free
-
The latest Elisa test does include the PCR which is often administered at the county clinic for cheap which reminds me if money is an issue considered the clinics in the gay and black community they usually offer free services

Hetero vaginal sex has low transmission rates. Anal sex however is very dangerous for the "taker".

why?

Although unprotected receptive anal sex has long been shown to be the highest-risk sexual activity for men who have sex with other men, a study in the July 1 edition of The Journal of Infectious Diseases suggests that the risk to the insertive partner—or “top”—may be much higher than originally thought.
Researchers gauged levels of HIV RNA in the blood, semen, and rectal mucosa secretions of 64 HIV-positive gay and bisexual men visiting sexually transmitted disease clinics in Seattle and Lima, Peru. Surprisingly, HIV was detected at much higher levels in the rectal secretions than in either blood or semen. HIV was even present in the rectal fluids of men who were suppressing blood-based viral loads to undetectable levels through highly active antiretroviral therapy, according to the study.
About half of the men studied were on HAART regimens; the remainder were treatment-naive. The median viral load detected in all the study subjects’ blood was 17,400 copies; the median semen-based viral load was much lower, only 3,550 copies. But the median viral levels detected in rectal mucosa secretions—at 91,200 copies—was more than five times higher than that seen in blood and more than 25 times higher than detected in semen.
The viral load pattern held true for study subjects taking anti-HIV medications and for those who were not on antiretroviral regimens.
The data suggest that HIV-positive receptive anal sex partners—or “bottoms”—may be putting their partners at a higher risk for infection than originally thought, especially when engaging in unprotected sex. The risk might be particularly high for insertive partners who are uncircumcised, since previous studies have shown that the Langerhans cells, located on the foreskin, are especially susceptible to HIV infection and that semen, rectal secretions, and vaginal fluids can be easily trapped under the foreskin and placed into prolonged contact with the cells.
They also conclude that HIV viral levels in rectal mucosa may not be directly affected by the use of anti-HIV drugs, as are blood- and semen-based levels. This “may be due to differential levels of antiretroviral drugs or to anatomic and immunologic differences in the male genital tract versus rectal mucosa,” the researchers say.

Unless he is worried about something that happened recently, as in the past 3 months, a PCR is not necessary.

Many doctors say that people who are diagnosed with HIV today will live basically normal life spans as long as they stick to their HAART and live a healthy lifestyle. It also helps to begin HAART before the t-cell count gets too low. Over the past 20 years, HIV has changed from a death sentence to a disease more like diabetes.

but only if you have the money to access the cocktail of drugs.
and are prepared to deal with the side affects of the drugs.
I don't know about you, but I wouldnt want diarrhea for the rest of my life.
aids in the developed world may not be a death sentence, but the side effects of the drugs used to treat it can make you wish you were dead.

Glad you are not as worried now, but like I said I would still recommend to always use protection, even if you aren't concerned all that much about HIV.

That is a good point, although today's drugs don't have as bad of side effects as they did in the early days with AZT. Most people in the US have access through ADAP programs and pharmaceutical assistance programs but it is still a major problem in the developing world.

no, but what a lot of people don't realize is that yes, the strain of HIV in north america is very easy to transmit through anal sex (which is why is so prevelent in the gay community) but that the strain of HIV in Africa is primarily transmitted through HETEROsexual sex (vaginally).
and its easily spread over there that way.
why? researchers don't know.
I learned alot about HIV in my microbio course in university (which had a section on retroviruses and immunology)
just go to the sex board, im about as hetero as they cum lol

If you guys want to get a better understanding of HIV and AIDS... Here is an excellent documentary that debunks many uneducated myths-- Regarding how HIV and AIDS are redefined in their diagnosis -Depending on your geographic region-- Further, you can be tested HIV positive in Chicago but NEGATIVE in London..etc. All quick HIV testing kits ARE NOT 100 percent accurate and unfortunately the same can be said of LAB TESTS... This was a lengthy documentary I had watched while in Med school w/ regards to the ethics of of diagnosing conclusive results
This will wake most of you up! and confirm many negative pharmaceutical company assumptions
-
Interesting point to grasp - Many HIV kits and lab tests look for certain abnormalities w/ regards to particular white blood cell count,several other autoimmune abnormalities, etc. Unfortunately, SEVERAL other conditions outside of HIV and AIDS can have these same attributes...This is where the patient can be LUMPED into the category of HIV positive .. Remember, once diagnosed w/ HIV or AIDS !! Patient automatically receives medical clearance for endless treatments, government funding (monthly support), etc These are to name a few!

Devastated because he has AIDS or devastated because he is homosexual. You do realize heterosexuals can get AIDS too, don't you?
I'd be devastated if either of my kids contacted a serious illness such as AIDS. However, I wouldn't be upset if they were physically healthy homosexuals.

i have been hiv poz since 2001 found out at physical when i was asked if i wanted to be tested for std's? i said sure signed the paper
for the hiv part of the test and was told to come back in 3 days. 3 days later i came back and all my results were back "NEGATIVE" for everything, i was so happy. then my doctor said humm thats funny i said what? he said your hiv results have not come back yet, but dont worry your negative on everthing so i am sure thats negative as well they are probably just backed up at the testing site, so i said ok.
i came home and maybe 4 days later i got a call from my doctors office asking when i could come in? i said come in for what? she said i am not sure your doctor just asked me to call you, so i figured there was a dispute with my insurance for my visit so i said tommorow, she said fine can you come in first thing in the morning at 8am, i said sure. the next day at 8am i showed up and everybody in the office for some reason i felt was staring at me and they all knew me which was weird and i got ushered to a back room and told to wait my doctor was coming right now. once again i really thought this is something to do with my insurance. my doctor came in sat down with a folder and i just remember him rubbing his forehead and saying "well i have some bad news for you" i said ok what? he opened up the folder and turned it around to face me i had no idea what i was looking at i just saw my name at the top, he took his pen and said these are the results of your hiv test, i said ok. he then took his pen and pointed to POSITIVE for elisa and western blot.
now in my mind i was thinking positive was a good thing so i said oh so its positive he said yes i am afraid so, i said oh wait so that means i have hiv? he said yes........the room started to spin and i got extremly hot and fell out the chair i had never ever fainted in my life but this time i did, i came to with a nurse around me and my doctor telling me its ok, your going to be ok just relax.
so to speed this up cause i am tired typing i got an appointment the next day with a ID doctor (infectious-disease) who was just the coolest person you ever want to meet, his first words to me where well thank god you got it now as opposed to 10years ago and your going to be fine got my blood drawn, came back in a week and was told my body was handling the hiv fine and that i did not need to be put on medicine, my viral load was extremly low and my t-cell count was very high and the doctor said ok see you in 6months, that was it....i thought what thats it? anyway this went on till 2009 my viral load stayed low and t-cell count was high. then in 2009 i went for blood work and the doctor said well it looks like your going to need some help now your viral load has increased the amount of the virus in your blood stream and your t-cell count is dropping not by much but still its dropping, so he drew some blood and told me come back in 2days.
2 days later i came back and he said that my strain was mild and showed no abnormalities and that meant i could be put on any hiv drug and it would work, he put me on ATRIPLA the one pill a day told me start taking it the next day and dont miss doses the next day i took it was slightly dizzy for 3 days still went to the gym and that was it. one month later i went back to my doctor and my viral load was undetectable and my t-cells had gone back up. i have been undetectable ever since and my t-cell count is normal the pill i take along with my vitamins and protein shake and i dont feel it at all, my liver kidneys blood pressure cholesterol all perfect so what i thought hiv was really is not that big of a deal at all i look better then most dudes at my gym work everyday and i am fine. and in most big cities if you cant afford hiv meds the city provides them free of charge, my health insurance i get my ATRIPLA free every month a 30 day supply if i ever loose my job i can go to the nearest medicaid office and start it for free.
i will be on hiv medicine for the rest of my life the one pill a day however people still get sick and die from hiv turning into aids i feel for the following reason, if you dont take your medicine everyday the virus comes back out and replicates itself to make the medicine you were taking no longer work, if you do this alot and go on many different meds you can run out of options and then they have to put you on some harsher stuff with side effects, but if you take your pill or pills as you should people with hiv do fine its those that dont do as there told that get sick, i have never ever had a hiv related illness at all no one at my job or everyday life knows i am hiv positve. however i do thank god for the newere meds on the market and the fact that i got it when i did cause it is not a death sentence anymore, i am not saying go get hiv but i am just saying if you do have it trust me its not going to kill you as my infectious disease doctor told me...i was also told by my doctor a new pill will soon be coming on the market that you take once a month for HIV so its getting alot easier. also being undetectable makes you less infectious to others meaning its harder to pass to someone because the virus is so low in my body whereas if your viral load is in the millions and you have unprotected sex you can pass it, undectectable is anything less then 40 copies which is low.
so good luck to you my friend and if your test comes back negative great, if it comes back positive hunker down learn the facts from your doctor and trust me you will be fine.
i know everyone will want to know how i got it? i dont know how or when i got it or who gave it to me but my 20's were pretty wild thats all i can say.

from what my infectious disease doctor said it would be diffiucult to tell how long i had been exposed to hiv, and because my body was dealing with it great on its own with no medicine he said it was even more difficult, i went to a group meeting for people with HIV shortly after i was diagnosed and i was surprised that some people had it for 13, 15, 20 years and never was on medicine and they had constant low viral loads which meant there body was not allowing it to take over there immune system
i later learned that your immune system is something you inherit and that some people have stronger ones then others and some people can live with hiv for many years before ever taking meds where as after my diagnosis it took me 7years before starting meds a buddy of mine was one of the first cases and he has never been on meds and his viral load stays around 1000 copies and his t-cell count is always in the high 800's
the only regret for me with having hiv is telling a potential partner, thats what i feel is the only difficult thing in this. now dont get me wrong if its a one night stand and i know that i "DONT TELL" i make sure to wear a condemn and its almost no fun because i constantly check to make sure its on and it did not break and i am always pulling out to check, however since being poz and knowing i liked someone and having to sit them down and let them know i am poz is so hard, luckily i have never had anyone say oh well forget it. i think most educated people are aware of the facts and they are not as afraid anymore however i always still feel the need to pull out my latest test results to show i am undetectable and explain what that means.
as for someone saying you usually dont get tested for western blot the first time around, thats what took my results so long to come back, my clinic ran them twice once with ALISA and the second was WESTERN BLOT my doctor said they do that to prevent false
positives.
i decided to prevent that awkward conversation about me being positive i would date other positive people and oh my god thats fucking great, no awkward conversation, no guilt of a condemn breaking and now my doctor said that whole thing about a SUPER STRAIN is FALSE. he said that he has never seen it in his practice and that 2 positive on meds and undetectable its fine.
so once again my friend when you get your results monday either way educate yourself, be careful and be thankful that this is 2012 where if you are positive you can still live a long healthy life if you take of yourself speaking of taking care of yourself i am heading to the 24hour gym now.......later and good luck

not sure how old this video is but yeah in 2001 i was told it was definitly a no-no but all i can tell you is i am going by hiv doctor with 20
plus years experience and keep in mind i said i said 2 positive people on meds with undetectable viral loads, she is speaking of positive
people not on meds with detectable viral loads. all i can go by is what my doctor says and about 3 years ago when i asked him about
2 positive people getting together he said that now new research is saying that it is fine and that once was thought of a
SUPER INFECTION is in fact a poor adherence to meds therefore causing the medicine not to work however he said research has proven that when
these individuals were given new strain test there strain had not changed the virus had just added mutations to make the medicine they were on no longer work.
i personally know several people in relationships and married to other positive people that are indeed undetectable have unprotected sex and they are still undetectable and fine.
so point of my story take your meds everyday! dont forget! dont cause mutations! to where your medicine no longer works and keep LIVING.........

Devastated because he has AIDS or devastated because he is homosexual. You do realize heterosexuals can get AIDS too, don't you?
I'd be devastated if either of my kids contacted a serious illness such as AIDS. However, I wouldn't be upset if they were physically healthy homosexuals.
hahahaha epic love for the physically healthy gays

Wow
do some research on the net....
still a lot of questions not answered regarding the whole hiv causes aids hype....
also, a lot of "research" is sponsored by who???? yes pharma companies.... why o why???
look at africa for example, give these people clean water, good food, and good normal medicine like we have here in the west.... let's see how many still die of "aids"
but what does the government do.....? gives them free condoms and pumps them full of chemo meds.... ::) ::) but whatever needs to be done to sell the goodies , right????
there is more to the story... something doesn't add up.... that is all i am saying....
and people are to hysterical of things that they should not be so concerned about...
morning traffic is more riskey!

What was your result? Are you supposed to get it back today?

hahahaha epic love for the physically healthy gays
Not necessarily. You will note that the conversation is about whether it would upset someone more to find out their children were gay or that they had HIV. It follows then that this is about loving one's children....regardless of their sexual orientation.

i have been hiv poz since 2001 found out at physical when i was asked if i wanted to be tested for std's? i said sure signed the paper
for the hiv part of the test and was told to come back in 3 days. 3 days later i came back and all my results were back "NEGATIVE" for everything, i was so happy. then my doctor said humm thats funny i said what? he said your hiv results have not come back yet, but dont worry your negative on everthing so i am sure thats negative as well they are probably just backed up at the testing site, so i said ok.
i came home and maybe 4 days later i got a call from my doctors office asking when i could come in? i said come in for what? she said i am not sure your doctor just asked me to call you, so i figured there was a dispute with my insurance for my visit so i said tommorow, she said fine can you come in first thing in the morning at 8am, i said sure. the next day at 8am i showed up and everybody in the office for some reason i felt was staring at me and they all knew me which was weird and i got ushered to a back room and told to wait my doctor was coming right now. once again i really thought this is something to do with my insurance. my doctor came in sat down with a folder and i just remember him rubbing his forehead and saying "well i have some bad news for you" i said ok what? he opened up the folder and turned it around to face me i had no idea what i was looking at i just saw my name at the top, he took his pen and said these are the results of your hiv test, i said ok. he then took his pen and pointed to POSITIVE for elisa and western blot.
now in my mind i was thinking positive was a good thing so i said oh so its positive he said yes i am afraid so, i said oh wait so that means i have hiv? he said yes........the room started to spin and i got extremly hot and fell out the chair i had never ever fainted in my life but this time i did, i came to with a nurse around me and my doctor telling me its ok, your going to be ok just relax.
so to speed this up cause i am tired typing i got an appointment the next day with a ID doctor (infectious-disease) who was just the coolest person you ever want to meet, his first words to me where well thank god you got it now as opposed to 10years ago and your going to be fine got my blood drawn, came back in a week and was told my body was handling the hiv fine and that i did not need to be put on medicine, my viral load was extremly low and my t-cell count was very high and the doctor said ok see you in 6months, that was it....i thought what thats it? anyway this went on till 2009 my viral load stayed low and t-cell count was high. then in 2009 i went for blood work and the doctor said well it looks like your going to need some help now your viral load has increased the amount of the virus in your blood stream and your t-cell count is dropping not by much but still its dropping, so he drew some blood and told me come back in 2days.
2 days later i came back and he said that my strain was mild and showed no abnormalities and that meant i could be put on any hiv drug and it would work, he put me on ATRIPLA the one pill a day told me start taking it the next day and dont miss doses the next day i took it was slightly dizzy for 3 days still went to the gym and that was it. one month later i went back to my doctor and my viral load was undetectable and my t-cells had gone back up. i have been undetectable ever since and my t-cell count is normal the pill i take along with my vitamins and protein shake and i dont feel it at all, my liver kidneys blood pressure cholesterol all perfect so what i thought hiv was really is not that big of a deal at all i look better then most dudes at my gym work everyday and i am fine. and in most big cities if you cant afford hiv meds the city provides them free of charge, my health insurance i get my ATRIPLA free every month a 30 day supply if i ever loose my job i can go to the nearest medicaid office and start it for free.
i will be on hiv medicine for the rest of my life the one pill a day however people still get sick and die from hiv turning into aids i feel for the following reason, if you dont take your medicine everyday the virus comes back out and replicates itself to make the medicine you were taking no longer work, if you do this alot and go on many different meds you can run out of options and then they have to put you on some harsher stuff with side effects, but if you take your pill or pills as you should people with hiv do fine its those that dont do as there told that get sick, i have never ever had a hiv related illness at all no one at my job or everyday life knows i am hiv positve. however i do thank god for the newere meds on the market and the fact that i got it when i did cause it is not a death sentence anymore, i am not saying go get hiv but i am just saying if you do have it trust me its not going to kill you as my infectious disease doctor told me...i was also told by my doctor a new pill will soon be coming on the market that you take once a month for HIV so its getting alot easier. also being undetectable makes you less infectious to others meaning its harder to pass to someone because the virus is so low in my body whereas if your viral load is in the millions and you have unprotected sex you can pass it, undectectable is anything less then 40 copies which is low.
so good luck to you my friend and if your test comes back negative great, if it comes back positive hunker down learn the facts from your doctor and trust me you will be fine.
i know everyone will want to know how i got it? i dont know how or when i got it or who gave it to me but my 20's were pretty wild thats all i can say.
and you are gay right?

No, but if she's a real tramp, you can get gonorrhea.

Here are a couple of things that we know about HIV: as a virus, it is weak once outside the host and it is a blood born pathogen. Given this, if someone who had bleeding gums or any kind of open sore in their mouth or on their lips and you had some manner of open sore on your penis you could possibly get HIV from oral sex. More likely, is that if someone cums in someone's mouth and the person whose mouth they cum in has any manner of open sore, then the person giving oral sex could get HIV from an infected person. The reason for this is because all bodily fluids contain some blood.
The reason anal sex is particularly dangerous is because the tissues in one's anus are very fragile. The any anal penetration can cause damage to these tissues. Thus if the sodomizer has HIV and ejaculates or even leaks pre-cum in someone's anus, there is a good chance they would become infected. Conversely, if the sodomizer has open sores or cuts on their penis and blood or bodily fluids from an HIV positive person being sodomized enters the sodomizers system through these openings, they could become infected.
As I mentioned HIV is a weak virus once outside the host. For this reason, it is more difficult to get HIV from cleaning up a bodily fluid spill. However, the herpes virus is very difficult to kill and therefore remains alive in a bodily fluid spill for sometime. As a general rule of thumb, one should always treat all bodily fluids other than their own as infected just to be on the safe side.
Surely, someone is going to suggest that I just outed myself. Ha, ha. Well, I already did that a long time ago. The information I am sharing here is a result of what I learned as part of my profession. As is required by law, every year we at work would be trained on blood born pathogens.
