  1. Infractions and penalties on BZ are private information. They can only be seen by the staff and by the "offender".
  2. You are right. In an effort to provide something relevant on the topic, I neglected to carefully vet my google results. My bad.
  3. I am saying that the particular US government website referenced by @insatiableholeinTO appears to be promoting "conspiracy theories" in the guise of information about the origins of Covid-19. It makes a lot of unsupported statements. It engages in a great deal of casting blame in the form of unsupported allegations at specific individuals or groups. It characterizes specific actions or agendas as negative when there were excellent public health reasons for those actions. So yes, @insatiableholeinTO, I'm saying that the government is "lying" (or to be precise, misleading). Regarding the specific issue of Dr. Fauci, I did a good deal of web searching across a variety of different sources to try and find out exactly what it was that he did do with regard to the publication on Covid-19 that is the leading item on the covid.gov web page. Yes, he did recommend to the authors that they omit the possibility of a lab leak as a potential origin of the virus. Does that mean he's to blame for the pandemic. No. Does that mean he instigated the publication in question (which appears to be what the web site is trying to imply)? No.
  4. Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls Would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love therefore; It will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth: The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan And let not the sands of time Get in your lunch. --National Lampoon
  5. That would be true, if you had made an argument. You haven't. Arguments involve taking a clear position and supporting it with relevant information. Your post from May 10th contains neither of those, just a link to a page that has the hallmarks of propaganda. [in case you were confused about that: https://cognitivepsycho.com/how-to-recognize-propaganda-a-guide-to-protecting-your-mind/ ] Indeed you don't, when the government has done it for you.
  6. Here's a non-paywalled article on the same: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/sen-mike-lee-wants-a-national-definition-of-obscenity-here-s-why/ar-AA1EtQv1
  7. Kudos to @brnbk for that thoughtful and detailed input!
  8. The devil is in the details, but numerous non-US governments have issued travel advisories for their citizens about difficulties with traveling to the U.S. At least one such incident that is specific to gay people comes up in a quick google search: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3122632.stm Oops. I take it back. That reference is from 2003, as correctly pointed out by @harrysmith25.
  9. 🤣 The mathematical implication about your sex life is brilliant. TY! Oink!
  10. No, you are not allowed to ask for money in a sexual context. Do it out behind the dumpster of your trailer park like everybody else.
  11. Apparently, like many other Americans, he has difficulty with some of the shorter words in English. "All", for example.
  12. Moderator's Note: This post is NOT in the Backroom. Please leave the poz fetish material out of it.
  13. That is correct. Nobody's profile will be deleted, and you will still be able to log in with the same credentials so long as your IP address is tagged by the system as outside a restricted state (which will now include the UK).
  14. If by "actually passes" you mean he dies, if the story was ever here it would have been removed. Snuff is not allowed anywhere on the site.
  15. Undetectable HIV+ will read as positive (HIV+) on a home test. That's because the test measures antibodies to HIV, not the virus itself. HIV+ guys with undetectable viral load don't need meds other than their primary ART to keep it that way. Most of the commonly used ARTs (at least in the first world, I'm not sure about elsewhere) are three-drug combinations in a single tablet.
  16. Once you have done the course of treatment (usually penicillin injections, either 1 dose or 3 doses at intervals) your RPR titer (quantitative RPR test that gives you a number rather than positive or negative) will level off or start going down. A stable or declining value indicates no active infection. It's a fairly lame test and I don't know why they don't have a better DNA based test, but I researched it a bit and couldn't find any such thing. Might be time to get access to a university library.
  17. Those questions are definitely things to ask your doctor. Syphilis varies in infectiousness depending on the stage of the disease. As I understand it, it's typically more contagious when there are skin lesions. Contrary to @Electricterror's comment, doxyPEP is fairly effective against syphilis. The only trouble is that people often don't know they have it, so you are in the dark about whether you need to use it or not. Your syphilis antibody test will always be positive from now on. Your RPR test may or may not return to negative (mine sometimes is and sometimes isn't). You have now joined the club of people who get to wonder whether they have been reinfected or just have antibodies from before. Sadly, the available tests are not great at distinguishing that. C'est la guerre.
  18. All tests have some error rate, which is why confirmatory tests are done by medical professionals when initial screening shows a positive result. The only tests available over the counter (that I'm aware of) have a very low false negative rate (meaning if they say negative, you can believe it), but a significant false positive rate (meaning if they say positive, there's a sizable probability that it's an error). Note that, as others have posted above, there is a window of time after infection where these tests will give a false negative. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/approved-blood-products/information-regarding-oraquick-home-hiv-test The immediacy of results done be medical professionals depends on the lab facilities that are used. If the samples are shipped to a third party lab for testing, it can take anywhere from a day to a week. If the facility where the sample is taken has capability on site, it can take as little as 20-30 minutes, even for a PCR test (the kind that measures viral load and is accurate a much shorter time after infection).
  19. Just ran across this completely by chance. Luckily I had been browsing this topic recently and remembered it! https://barebackbastards.com/26774/wasted-poz-guy-with-huge-dick-breeds-neg-bottom/
  20. The standard on-demand PrEP recommendation for emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil 200/300 is 2-1-1: First dose 2-24 hours before contact (2 tablets) and 2 subsequent doses at 24 hour intervals (1 tablet each).
  21. First, use the search tool (in the upper right corner of the forum window) to look for them. Make sure you are looking in the appropriate subforum! If you're not sure which one they are in, search in all of the relevant ones. Second, post a request in this thread (or the similar thread in the appropriate subforum for your story) with a description of the story and see if someone else can help you find it. Please note that a small number of stories have been permanently removed due to changes in site policy over the years or for other reasons.
  22. "insert tab A into slot B, repeat as needed" --from an actual BBRT profile
  23. Inasmuch as no one has been banned for any post in this topic, nor in fact even given an infraction, you may be barking up the wrong tree. I'm happy to cite my sources, and in fact I did so in a private message with the member whose content I had called out. I agree that you have a point about transparency, and I'll be happy to try and make my reasoning clearer. But this is a private web forum and yes, the rules can not only seem, but be, arbitrary and even biased. We moderators are volunteers and we don't write the rules, we just apply them.
  24. Very nicely done! And Giftig's name is a delightful touch, for those who know.
