akin to being born without an arm, or with downs, etc etc
Okay..that's pretty funny..most of your banter with me is
But come on...liking men is as bad as being born with Downs Syndrome???
Stop it.
Ranger in all honesty gay cultures seems more prone to risky behaviors. I don't want a dissertation as to the reasons why or a litany of risky hetero behavior but in some circles there are bug chasers and whatnot. My question is how old are you and how many times have you been genuinely concerned that you may have put yourself at risk for contracting HIV ? Do you still consider HIV a death sentence or is your attitude more relaxed or cavalier about HIV transmission?
Seems like a genuine question--holy shit...I dunno how to respond. LOL
Lets see..I'm over 30 years old. There was one time in my life that I was somewhat concerned that I
could have been exposed to HIV.
I got tested shortly after and was found negative. Thank God! I try to be as safe as I can. But hormones kick in and life happens.
"Do you still consider HIV a death sentence or is your attitude more relaxed or cavalier about HIV transmission?"No longer is HIV a death sentence. If you take your meds, you'll live a
relatively normal life.
No way am I cavalier about it though. I grew up in Greenwich Village NYC and saw HIV/AIDS victims every day. I have quite a few friends that struggle with it and the social ramifications of being positive {POZ}.
The problem with the transmission rate in the gay community is PrEP. {Pre-exposure prophylaxis}
It's a drug called Truvada that when used correctly, provides a
92%–99% reduction in HIV risk for HIV-negative individuals who use it.
It's a fucking LIFE SAVOR! Best drug for the gay community
EVER.
But it's giving guys carte blanche to go have unprotected sex with many many men.
So since it ONLY protects against HIV--OF COURSE all the other STDs are on the rise.
The straight world has swingers. Couples fucking other couples...sometimes single guys banging a guys wife...single girls getting fucked by random guys...sex.
Sure there are extremes in the straight world. But you can't hold a candle to the level of depravity in the gay world.
You name it--there's a gay guy doing it. I would absolutely gross u the fuck out with just the things I've seen or heard about in the last --oh I dunno--90 days lets say.
It's always been this way though. To some-it's part of the attraction of gay sex. The thrill of it all.
