  1. Yes and no. The pharma industry hasn't been doing enough R&D lately. They don't innovate because they're afraid of failure (it can be incredibly expensive to fail). So they sit around and wait for some startup to show signs of success, then they buy the startup (growth through acquisition). But if they're outbid or too late discovering the startups they're sorta screwed. For example Pfizer is moving their headquarters out of Manhattan - which is a big deal - it's been here for decades. But a number of their most profitable drugs have gone off patent and they don't really have anything as good as those drugs in the pipeline - so they're tightening their belt financially. For that to happen to one of the pharma giants like Pfizer is a big deal. Even when it comes to ARVs - some of them are getting close to going off patent - and they're decent drugs that have proven safety records. Doctors will have the choice of a cheap drug with a solid track record, or an expensive one that might be a bigger risk to the patient and to her/him (in terms of malpractice if things go wrong with the drug). Sure there are patients who have exhausted all the treatment options and will need the newest and latest drug - but people like that are rare (I only know of one guy like that - a friend of a friend). Does anyone know if Gilead got their patent extended for Truvada because of PrEP?
  2. This isn't a hookup site. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be done with the programming and BBBH.com will be a hookup site - geographic searches will be a primary feature on there.
  3. Contextually, on this site, everyone above is correct. But there are other forms of slamming - for example slam dancing… That form of slamming is pretty dangerous too
  4. If you could find it, it would be incredibly expensive - probably $800+ for a 30 day supply. Any cheaper and you might not be buying the real thing - which, if you're lucky, won't provide any protection, and if you're unlucky will harm you. But bottom line, it requires a doctor's oversight and prescription.
  5. I've always heard that, when it comes to ARVs, if it's working don't fix it. I'm surprised she'd want to change your meds. If there were some problem, I could see the point, but if you're doing well, stay put.
  6. They're not connected to your profile here, but should be on your profile on Raunchy Fuckers. However, we've had some upload problems - it's possible the upload didn't work. If you don't see your video when you login to Raunchy Fuckers, PM WolfJD here on Breeding Zone.
  7. Most people are vitamin D deficient - not just poz guys. I've been taking it for years. It's most critical in the winter months when you're not out in the sun. It can cause depression, etc.
  8. Jayson Park just contacted me. HDK has asked him to produce some videos for them. I think he'll be starring in some of the initial ones, but he may continue on just as a director if things workout well. Anyway, he broached the idea of a DVD entitled "Breeding Zone". If he did a series of scenes with a Breeding Zone theme and then wrapped them up into a DVD, what do you guys think should be the ground rules? Here are my initial thoughts... Show the Breeding Zone user names for each performer Be raunchy/piggy/edgy - no "plain vanilla" sex (e.g. don't have two guys fuck in a hotel room)... Poz guys shouldn't be shy about being poz - wear a biohazard t-shirt, say things like "you want my poz load, BOY?", etc. Mixing amateurs in with professionals would probably be a good idea - BZ is about community, not just the professionals. Cummy holes, felching, pushing out an internal load are all big pluses - the bottom has to get cum IN his ass To me, more than anything - Breeding Zone stands for proud bareback pigs. Yes, vanilla guys are barebacking these days, but the point of Breeding Zone is to really fetishize the idea of giving and taking loads up the ass. And there's no shame, no holding back, no HIV stigma, etc. Have I missed anything? Oh, and if you're in NYC and available in mid-June and interested in fucking Jayson Park in a Breeding Zone branded video - let me or Jayson know. (Posting on this thread is fine, as is a PM). Right now he's just looking for tops, but later he'll probably be looking for bottoms as well - though there will probably be more competition to be a bottom.
  9. Should smokers be given medical treatment for emphysema? Should recreational skiers be given medical treatment for broken bones? Should people who OD and cause permanent harm to their bodies be put on disability? Should people who eat too much be given treatment when they get diabetes II? Should a drunk driver who hurts himself in a car accident be given medical care for his injuries? [And so on…] Are any of those things caused by genetic impulses? (Probably not). But I think sex is clearly a genetic impulse, so if we treat the effects of things that people choose to do completely on their own, why wouldn't we treat the effects of something that's arguably a genetic impulse? Or, put another way, all of those other things should be denied before you deny treatment for STDs (like HIV).
  10. Back in the day before ARVs (when none of the poz guys were undetectable) it took 100 unprotected fucks on average (with a variety of poz and neg guys) before someone became poz. So it's really not all that surprising. These days most poz guys are undetectable, so the number of guys who are capable of infecting you is pretty low. It's a bit like Russian Roulette - chances are you won't convert, but when you hit the chamber with the bullet you do convert.
  11. We need a gay version of VoteMan to get out the gay vote on election days here in the US…
  12. Personally, when I'm not very active I just scale back to taking PrEP 4 times a week - Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun. Studies suggest it's 90% effective at that dosage - which gives you coverage if you happen to have sex when you weren't expecting to. I would discourage you from going off it completely.
  13. Yes it will hurt. How much it hurts and how long it hurts depends on the circumstances. Just get the top to go slow. He shouldn't start fucking in earnest until your ass has gotten used to his dick. Then it'll probably feel pretty good unless he's so big he's hitting your second sphincter or pushing on your bladder (that's more uncomfortable than painful). If it continues to hurt, try another position. One thing I'd suggest is that you start by sitting on his dick. It's less painful that way and lets you control how vigorous things are. Once it's feeling good, then switch and let him take control.
  14. Try reloading the page. Last error was at 7:31 Eastern this morning.
  15. The problem has been repaired. Sorry about that.
  16. Sounds like a great goal. Hope you do that much and more. Maybe it's the start of being a true power bottom - like @gangbangboi on Twitter - his goal for May is to get 500 loads in his ass! And the last few years he's gotten about 2,000 loads a year.
  17. Because guys are being put in prison for not telling. When I hooked up with a fuckbuddy of mine the other day he was saying that there's been a big change in the leadership of ACT/UP in the past year. The new ACT/UP has decriminalization of HIV as one of their main goals. In this day and age no one should be put in jail for not disclosing.
  18. Gilead (the drug manufacturer) will cover the first $200/mo of copay. I think my plan covers 80% and that still leaves me with a $60/mo copay.
  19. There are two questions - first legal - do whatever the law requires in your area. Second is a moral question and I think most of the guys here would agree that you 1) should always answer honestly when asked, 2) never pretend your neg when you're poz. But there would be disagreement when it comes to whether you should pro-actively tell guys you're poz. In an anonymous sex situation I think most everyone would say it's not required, but the opinions will vary when it comes to less-anonymous situations. Personally I have no problem with a poz guy not bringing it up. IMHO, it's the neg guy's responsibility to take care of his own health. Others will say poz guys should disclose, but to those people I'd say why? If the poz guy is undetectable there's no risk of transmission.
  20. I just added a poll to the thread. Just curious what advice people would give to the theoretical black 18 year old who's looking at a 60% chance of becoming poz in the next 12 years. Personally, I sorta wish I were 18 right now. This is a great time to be young and have some incredible sex. My advice would be to do risk reduction when it's convenient, but ultimately put sex first. So if the kid has access to PrEP - he should go on it, but if he can't I'd still tell him to get out there and have a lot of sex.
  21. Saw this in an article I was reading… What's your reaction to that? I had heard previously that nearly 50% of guys at black gay bars here in NYC are poz. So it doesn't surprise me.
  22. In 3-5 years people won't feel that way. Trust me. There's going to be a huge change in people's understanding of URLs. Yes, familiarity is the primary issue. Given the rising importance of mobile, I think a URL that's easier to type may outweigh people's familiarity issues. Personally I think as long as it comes up in Google, and as long as the old URLs work, people will adapt. I mean it's not like anyone will stop using the site because the URL is shorter.
  23. I would say these days "breeding" just means getting/giving cum in your/his ass - doesn't need to be poz. I think "pozzing" would be the current term for getting/giving poz cum in a neg ass. Given that most poz tops are on meds and zero risk to have sex with, that makes that use of "pozzing" weaker than it used to be as well (since it used to mean actual infection). But my take on it is that it's guys acting out the fantasy of infection.
  24. Instead of the 6 hours of cleaning out that Tiger suggests, If you clean out with a long shower attachment like this one… http://www.forttroff.com/32767_gallery?pcat=DOU it takes about 2 hours from start to finish (with lots of breaks in between), and you'll be clean for 12+ hours.
