    Personally I am surprised that more providers are not testing for HCV. Even where I go which is a VERY well respected forward thinking institution in a major city only recommends tests for HCV at their clinic locations if they were born before 1975 iirc, and if they were intravenous drug users. I get the tests often, and ironically they make me more nervous that the HIV tests now since I am on PrEP.

    I think the straight part is a bit much, but I do think almost every gay man should be on it. Anyway as to your "what now" 1) wait a week before risky sex 2) make sure to take it daily, dont miss! and try to take it at the same time. A pill box helps 3) have fun!! but be aware of other STD's and get regular checkups 4) still stay away from PNP, and people who do it. Its just bad news, and often causes people to miss medication

    nice. enjoy it, and make sure you take your PrEP everyday and get regular STD checks.
  6. wood
    Yes, but its illegal and irresponsible to do so. Additionally you NEED to get regular screenings when on PrEP. Just go to your doctor if you want it.

    You are 20 years old, and sound incredibly stupid. All I can do is roll my eyes at comments like this. Becoming HIV+ DOESNT FREE ANYONE FROM ANYTHING, It restricts you to a lifetime of medical treatment because of an incurable disease.

    Sounds like a hot fuck, but you also sound pretty naive. There's no upside to being poz, and if you are in the US, you could go on PrEP, have the fun, and stay neg. Being poz is far from just fun and good sex, quite the opposite. In many cases there are still health effects, expensive drugs just to stay alive and rejection from neg guys who dont wanna fuck with poz guys. Or if you dont tell them you are poz, you risk going to jail. None of that sounds like fun IMO. You are having the thrill of danger right now, but when its over, you are just left with a lifetime illness.

    You are correct, however, going off PrEP, and assuming you are going to eliminate your risky sex is just silly. You already said before, you "wouldn't let guys cum in you" but there are many guys who either will still cum in your, or just precum enough for there to be substantial risk. PrEP isnt perfect, but taken correctly it is VERY effective, is it 100%, no, almost nothing in life is 100%. You may have increased your risk factors by going on PrEP, but you also substantially reduced your chance of infection. This is completely anecdotal, but I have a friend who was on PrEP, and stopped due to an insurance change. He didn't investigate how to get it otherwise. He was off for about two months, and in that time, he "reduced" his risk factors somewhat, but didn't change everything. By the time he went back to get a checkup and back on PrEP, he had tested poz. The point is, unless you substantially change your risk profile, IE to cutting out stuff like any bottoming bare at all, you are much safer now on PrEP than you ever have been before. So unless you plan on cutting out sex, I would stay on.

    This is pretty terrible advice. While stuff like leading a healthy lifestyle is undoubtedly important, that will do NOTHING in terms of protection against HIV. Additionally using anecdotal evidence, (which many have in here) to explain still being HIV negative is speculative at best. While most people wont get infected on the first go, it can and does happen. As for long term statistics, having unprotected sex, especially receiving is quite likely to result in HIV infection. Topping is much less likely to transmit the virus, so that alone can drastically reduce ones chances of infection. There are no hard numbers on infection, but if you want to stay neg, hoping and praying IS NOT prevention, PrEP is, and so are condoms if you use them. I also cant stress this enough. Lots of guys have STI's that may be symptom-less. For example, STI's in the rectum often have no symptoms, but can easily transmit the virus. People JUST getting HIV tests are not getting nearly the amount of care they need.

    Just as the topic states. I'm trying to get beyond the normal, "oh you have chlamydia, and gonorrhea" stuff to see what other people have experienced. I will start. I have a friend who had to have some precancerous cells lasered off in in ass. He found it out about 6 months after he tested HIV+ at 27. The doctor says it could have been the HIV, or just normal sex that brought it on. Hence why I now get routine anal pap smears. What else you guys got.

    in regards to black men int he US having higher rate of HIV infection, its a multifaceted issue, and circumcision is most likely not a driving force. http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/pressure_to_conform_to_masculine_norms_may_fuel_hiv_risk_among_gay_black_men http://www.aidsmeds.com/articles/black_MSM_1667_23687.shtml While condomless insertive sex isnt low risk, for circumcised men who use plenty of lube, shower after sex, dont have sex with guys with sores, etc and exclusively top, its lower than one would think. Yes it can happen, but its nowhere near the risk of bottoming. For the cut vs uncut debate, the simple fact is the skin under the foreskin is much more sensitive, prone to minute tears, and traps pathogens. Thats why they are higher risk.
  14. wood
    best option, and to answer the question, no I would not want to become poz for a partner, and would actively try and avoid that happening to me.
  15. wood
    Sorry, but you are your own worst enemy right now. Additionally You say you have a "high chance" you are HIV+ but you have no real idea about that. Additionally if you are 90% top, and your bottoming is distributed evenly throughout your 100 people, IE for every 10 people you had sex with i was you bottoming, your risk isnt nearly as high as you think. What that. Topping 30 guys and bottoming for three of those is a decent amount of guys, but as for risk of HIV, its not nearly as high as your think. It seems like you should be in one of these countries, http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&Mode=list&StateId=2 If so I would just suggest you go to another country and get a test, or see if you can get a oraquick test into your country. Knowing is MUCH better than not knowing, and once you know you can make plans for the future. If you are HIV+ you can start to try and make plans to move to a place that in better for you. You have great english, with a western articulation, so I have a feeling you are an expat somewhere. Get a test done, and move on with your life nomatter what the result. But until you know your status, you are going to be afraid and no able to move on with your life.

    date, person, activity, risk, hiv status, PrEP, repeats, meeting place, race, dick size, phone number, overall rating, description of events. I have a good memory so I tend to add more overtime, haha. I think I am going to make a substantial revision soon though to make certain metrics more numeric. Any suggestions on what else to monitor or changes?
  17. wood
    I updated my sheet a week ago, it took a while!!! and I added a few different metrics. I dont really discuss my personal sex life on here, but lets just say I am REALLY glad PrEP is here!
  18. wood
    I find this incredibly hard to believe, even if you are in an uniformed area. All you need is to take the prep guid that you can get here, or anywhere else to an office. A cdc and WHO approved and recommended treatment is not some experimental procedure. I have a undetectable friend who doesn't say he is on PrEP, but just says clean when in reference to BB. Do I agree with it? no, but as research has shown he is very low risk. He's also mostly a bottom, which obviously helps.

    You seem well thought out on this, but I also wonder how much thought you have given to his reactions, long term. I know two guys that tested poz, and ended up infecting their partner of the time, and neither relationship lasted. Part of it was the fact that they were very awkward about the fact they infected someone else, even when their partner accepted and was okay with it. On that note you have to be aware that there is a good chance you guys won't be together forever. I am not trying to be pessimistic, but that is reality. For you right now, I would say cool it on any sexual activity until you get a firm diagnosis on your condition. If you are actually neg, just go on PrEP, its literally almost foolproof taken correctly, and there is no reason you cant have a great sexual relationship if he is poz,and you end up still neg. if you eng up poz, start meds ASAP, and get your BF on them too. Its been shown to be the best course of action now, and it will drastically reduce the chance of infecting anyone else if you play bare. You are understanding about this, but many people are not, and infecting someone else, can be illegal, and can also be a quick way to a terrible reputation in a community.

    I doubt this is going to help you much, but when you said "public defender" I cringed a bit. I know plenty of friends involved with the law, and having a PD on a case like this is just a disaster. you best bet is to find any and every source of money to pay for a real criminal defense attorney at this point. it shouldn't be a difficult case. The cases of HIV transmission or exposure that result in jail time are almost always transmission, and or LOTS of people, not four guys total. The problem is a PD doesn't have the time or will to make a good defense, which is why you need to pay for a good lawyer. Ask any friends or family, sell a car, sell ANY assets, see if you can get credit cards, etc, etc. With that said, I don't want to sound cold when I say this, but you also have to really judge your relationship with him. If you are going to be together forever, then its probably worth it to do whatever it takes. if you are just infatuated, and miss him it may be time to cut your losses, and just help him mentally.

    Please do it. In all honestly you probably wont stop barebacking, top or bottom, just because of a scare, and PrEP gives you an excellent chance of staying neg. As for the sex thing, heres the main issue, If you do convert, you will likely pass it on to the guys you top. However, the chance of that is quite small. I would probably just have sex. Hell PEP will probably even protect you like PrEP while you are on it. But I would highly suggest you talk to your doctor about starting PrEP immediatly after your PEP is done and they give you the all clear. Yeah if they only put you on Truvada thats PrEP, so maybe the doctor didnt think it was that much of a risk., anyway as far as side effects are concerned what are you having? Truvada itself has a fairly low side effect profile.

    http://slco.org/slcohealth/programs/stdHivClinic/ https://www.utahpridecenter.org/ I will say this.. If you dont heavily look into your options NOW and you become infected its likely your fault. Not trying to be rude, but for medical emergencies there is almost always some help available. Choosing to not do all the research you can, and getting all the help you can is your choice, but if you become infected because of it, well thats on you. With that said I am not saying you will become infected, the chance is actually against it, but you seem pretty damn worried about it. For me, I didn't bareback often until PrEP came out.... PrEP changed that completely. lol

    Bingo. This underscores how stealthing really should just remain a fantasy. I'm all for sexual fun, but do you want your name in the news or in jail to do it? There is lots of guys out there to have sex with that don't care, pick one of those. On a sidenote I guess washington doesnt have any laws regarding HIV transmission, otherwise I am quite sure the guy would have been in jail. Ehh I cant agree with that, its 50/50. the neg person should always ask, and the HIV+ person should always be upfront and truthful, especially when its in a one on one hookup situation. Bathhouses and sex parties are a different situation

    Back before HIV was an issue guys were much more open about STD's, and ironically they were in some ways better about getting them treated. Bearbandit may chime in about this too. The main thing was that you wanted to have the sex, but you didn't want to be sidelined with STD's so you just went and got them treated. Additionally there was a lot less shame in letting your sexual partners know, because many people were sluts, and there wasn't the feeling of dread about going to the doctor for it. HIV changed that because if you told someone they may have gonorrhea, they may automatically become scared they also have HIV. IMO, if you are a sexually active gay man, not using condoms some of the time or all of the time, you should get a full panel of tests 3-4 times a year, sometimes more depending on how much sex you have. It is inevitable that sexually active gay men will get an STD at some point. Its usually not a huge deal, but they need to be treated, so everyone doesn't get them. For me, in addition to the full panel tests every 3-4 times a year, I go if I have symptoms, or if I have a period with a lot of sex, like say IML, where things are likely to be transmitted.

    read the post below, if you are in any major urban area, or near it, go to the city clinic TODAY, and get on PEP. While its far from certain you will be infected, PEP will drastically reduce those risks. FYI also gilead's program for people who want to get PrEP covers almost anyone regardless of ability to pay, if you are going to play bare, and don't want to be infected, you better get on it.
