Miraculously, I did. Though, looking back at those years (roughly 1981 thru 2004 for me), sex for me became more orally focused and I wasn't ingesting cum then (I wore it proudly on my chest and face). I disliked condoms so much that, rather than having to deal with them in either role, I pretty much stopped having anal sex, unless it was with someone I was seeing exclusively.
All those years, with no positive results. Then, I found something that turned my life around and upsidedown. We called it "doing the alphabet". Like just about everyone, Dawson became my role model and I was poz within a year.
I will admit, that getting the poz diagnosis was very freeing in its way. I could enjoy the confident way that I presented myself at parties where I might take eight or nine loads bareback and getting a load down my throat every time I sucked dick became my favorite thing to collect.
