Just need some advice
AusExploring replied to AusExploring's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
Im not actually sure if the rapid testing is offered in Australia, I don't think it is as I have not heard of it here. It would be much more convenient but I'm assuming it will be blood and waiting like I have always done. I get the testing done free at a sexual health clinic where I live, and they are usually pretty good about handling situations such as mine. So I am hoping that they will be able to call me and tell me the results over the phone ASAP (About a week ago I woke up to a missed called from the infectious diseases clinic of my states largest hospital, obviously I assumed the worst, however they were just calling about how my medication was going which I wish they had said in the message). I do have a friend coming with me for moral support though and he booked me into the guy who he usually see's (he is poz) so that makes me feel somewhat better about it. My biggest problem is just to stay out of my head till I actually have the results and then just go from there. -

Just to update, still doing the course, side effects to some extent have been quite irritating but I am managing them okay and I still feel like they could be a lot worse. Only thing is I guess the psychological issues behind it are starting to play on my mind because I guess its just really hitting home I'm probably not going to be able to deal with my test coming back positive. Just waiting around and being able to do nothing is frustrating, and knowing that outside of health effects it would put a large strain on relationships/potential relationships as well as possible career and life goals (Medicine). -

Those odds are actually much better than what I had in mind, granted I guess other factors come in to play on a case by case basis but in general that is quite good. I might get into the habit of using the alarms as well to properly time my medication, as at the moment its somewhere between 8:30-9:30 in the morning and 6-8 at night, granted that's probably not the worst thing in the world. One thing for sure is I am going to get through this course and take the meds as prescribed for the 28 days though, even though now it has been a few days I am noticing minor side effects. Thanks a lot for your advice poptronic, I know in many aspects this site takes on the more extreme side of sex/hiv etc. but its nice to know there are people that have been through the same as I am going through, will post when I get the news. oink -

Its pretty hard to explain my situation, but I found out and started the course within 8 hours. I dont know if I will be able to go on PrEP as I am unsure what its current standing is in Australia (Pretty sure its not available yet) but depending on my test results its something I definitely need to look into. Thanks for the reply -

Just thought I would update, I also slipped up and had an experience similar to poptronic. He lied to me about having been tested, and from reliable sources I have heard he is almost certainly poz not on meds. Currently doing a course of pep (Which was supplied to me free after I explained my situation at the emergency room, Australian healthcare is absolutely amazing) but honestly its pretty much as high risk as I could get (I bottomed). Don't get me wrong I took the risk and in the end in comes down to my clouded judgement, but I am coming to terms there is a reasonable chance I may end up poz. -

Yeh I think that's probably going to be the best solution for me, it will be nice to pump loads in him without having it in the back of my mind thanks for the info and help guys, this site never fails to disappoint in any aspect! -

Me and the bottom have been quite close friends for over a year and I honestly have no doubt when he says he is undetectable he is telling the truth (I know he had a blood test a few weeks back). And yes I am in Aus, I didn't know PrEP is not available here yet but I do think it may be in the near future as I have been provided information/pamphlets etc. on it during my last checkup. I think honestly since the risk is quite low I will just assume the best and have my regular checkup in a months time. My only other question is there any increased risk of infection by him already having multiple loads in his ass? Or is that just completely irrelevant. Thanks guys -
Hey guys, I'm sorry that my first post on this site has to be in this section as I have been lurking for the videos for a few months (they are the best;)) but I am not really sure where else I could find knowledgeable and honest advice/answers. Recently I have fucked a friend of mine BB 3 times, 2 of these times he already had multiple (2-3?) loads in his ass. He is poz and currently undetectable (which I am 100% sure of). I am somebody who really does enjoy BB sex but for personal reasons I have decided I am not able to take the risk, but these 3 times I slipped up. I was just wondering if there is a reasonable chance that I may be infected, and if it is worth contacting my doctor tomorrow to try a cycle of PEP. I am the type of person who drives myself insane thinking of the worse possible outcomes of situations so even if it is a very low chance it will still play on my mind. Thanks in advance guys
