I will start meds real soon. Hoping to become U=U
PozBearWI replied to a topic in HIV Risk & Risk Reduction
Serosorting is not a bad way to go. Imprecise? Yes but largely successful. That tends to eliminate bookstore, sauna, bathhouse raw anal sex. But it isn't a horrible thing to get to know your sexmates. -
Exactly

Probably not...

He will do what Reagan did. Maybe not exactly, that way, he'll put an absolute doofus in charge who will get nothing done.

I was a bit worried we would get here. OK, so it seems like we need to birth an organization here; or find one recently started to participate in.

Indeed, it helps to know what to look for as they seem to come in these clusters; a whole bunch in a day or two and then quiet as long as I ignored them.

Oh fuck yes.... Being called "daddy" to distraction is what makes us into curmudgeons! To the degree we've been able to be mutually present; not somewhere in our fantasy head, but live and in person, candid, authentic. Those have been attributes around the times of greatest pleasure for me.

It is a puzzler. Then too, I always wondered how a group of people would willingly drink poison in a cult. I suspect MAGA know they're in peril, and it is the worship of their guy that has them continue to support over their own peril. FWIW, I believe we'll get through this, likely somewhat worse for the wear but hopefully with lessons echoing those we had to learn in WW2. Us humans seem to have this historical penchant to have us relearn our lessons on how to keep a civil society going.

Surprise! Late life romance.

Man @Tanbbottom I am loving this story. I've missed stories where we don't worry that we're poz (or if). What a delight to have read this. It reads like a complete story as it is. But an Epilogue might be fun. -

And you can serosort. Not casually of course. Would doxyPEP be an issue @Leatherman667? -
We need another party pushing back. Where did all the Dem leaders go? crickets.

@rawfuckingonly you've never met me. You have no idea who I am, what I do. And yet you confidently declare I don't have a moral compass? The adage "pot calling the kettle black" applies to you.

To be more accurate what that email is @RawNYTop is a phishing attempt. Delete it, do nothing and you'll be fine. Phishing attempts seem to be on the rise. If one opens the attachments, they are a risk, perhaps significant risk, so I strongly advice you never, ever click on a link from someone you know. And be aware you'll want to be certain it's that person. There is also an uptick in emails from "friends", but when you look at the detail of what the email address actually used it, it isn't yours (or mine as the case may be). Now, WRT your home network. You might do well to consider Intrusion Detection if you're ISP doesn't already provide that as a service. And a VPN these days is just a better practice. And if you haven't, invest in a high quality home security suite that can recognize attributes of malware if not the specific malware itself, and simply block that.

I don't follow where the race of the guy I'm with matters...

FWIW, non religious here.

And hopefully the larger society rediscovers our moral compass

If you want less impact it would be better if you not get pozzed at all. There are no guaranteed outcomes. We have much better outcomes these days than we used to, by quite a bit. The long term consequences of life is that it ends. There are somethings I appreciate about being poz, and yet if I wanted a less complex set medical options, I would not have pozzed. There is no guarantee there will be a medication for you. While fortunately rare, there are med resistant strains. So if you're banking on medication to make poz livable, truly, just hold off until that is no longer something you need. -
@hntnhole that role many times has been our religious institutions. While differ they had common themes around how they guided their members towards a more successful moral compass. We've chosen leaders who are taking us away from those who gave moral direction towards a winner/loser strategy. With them winning and convincing us of how happy we are they are winning. We root for the team over rooting for each other. I don't think we need churches necessarily to guide us; but we have often done better as a society when our leaders sought to help us, their constituents, and not profit off of that.

I've written my representative's in DC.

Drummed into my head (I'm not sure he intended that) were words from my dad "who, what, when, where, why and how", those are the scope of questions to ask....

@Bokkierob sounds delightful for both

Which shouldn't be misconstrued that ARVs are required. They are your choice. Achieving u=u a worthy goal. But won't in all locales lead to more sexual adventures. There is still a fair amount if 80's thinking HIV stigma here away from urban influence. -
But we do have Google...

I gather you were not a sexually active adult in the late 1980's....

Hmmm, let's see I am faced with certain death or an unproven experimental drug.... what to choose what to choose....?
