Got this from a friend in Chicago, but long story short, the state of Illinois is going to be covering the cost of PrEP for anyone who wants it, regardless of ability to pay. http://medillreports.com/2014/12/12/illinois-preps-for-new-hiv-prevention-program/

Many black guys carry a gene that gives them resistance to malaria, but makes them more likely to become HIV positive. Read more about it... My blog post on the topic a while ago [/url]The article I cited in my post doesn't seem to exist any more. Another article on black guys, malaria & HIV

When I was 20, back in the 80s, a wealthy gay man offered to make me his sex slave but live in luxury, if I would let him infect me with AIDS. We didn't call it HIV back then, and it was a death sentence at the time. I turned him down... not without spending a lot of time talking to him, though! And, as I began to regret that decision over the years, I found it wasn't the life of luxury that I missed, but the chance to be intentionally infected. Twenty-five years later, I found myself about to enter a bathhouse for the first time since I'd been young. I was nervous; I no longer had the hard body of my youth, my hair was much thinner, and I'd developed a gut somewhere down the line. But it was my birthday, and for the first time in years I had no obligations, no relationship, no one depending on me. And I had promised myself the chance to get infected. I was embarassed when I saw the young, hard bodies behind the desk... Why would anyone be interested in me when there was meat like this around? I got my key and my towel and stripped down. At first I couldn't get anyone to notice me, or of the couple who barely did, one laughed. I felt humiliated, but I was determined. This club had a gloryhole wall where the men using the holes stood on a platform, and the men sucking could stand up straight. I stood on the lower level until a cock appeared in front of me. I went down on it and it got super hard, about 8 inches long and slender. He was shaved, and there was a tattoo that I couldn't make out. I've always been good at giving head. I can easily overcome my gag reflex, and I can deepthroat almost any cock to the balls. I did this with him for a while. Before he shot his load, I asked: "Do you want to cum in my ass?" There was a moment's hesitation, and the cock disappeared. I began to feel like I had blown it, when the man stepped in front of me. To my surprise, he was my age, but in much better shape. "How do you want it?' he asked, matter-of-factly. "Bareback," I barely managed to say. He just nodded and motioned for me to follow him. He led me to a private room and told me to get on the bed. He told me to suck him some more, and to use plenty of saliva, because that's all the lube he was going to use. As I sucked on it, I noticed with a thrill of excitement that his tattoo said "Toxic Cock!" He noticed the way I looked at it. "You don't have it yet, do you?" he asked. I could only shake my head. "Do you want it?" I nodded quickly. "Yes," I said. He laughed. "You expect me to give it to you tonight?" "Please!" "It doesn't work that way," he said. "I'm medicated, and my cum probably doesn't have enough virus in it to infect you, no matter how hard I fuck you." My disappointment must have been obvious, because he laughed. "I could go off my meds," he said, "And develop a high-viral load. But why should I do that for you?" I swallowed. "I'll do anything for it," I said. He looked at me with interest. "I want you to make it worth my while," he said. "Come live with me, and do anything I tell you. The day you arrive, I'll go off my meds. And if you're still there in two weeks, I could have enough virus to infect you." With that he turned me the way he wanted me and rammed his cock into me. He didn't infect me that day, but I felt wonderfully sore for a couple days after. It took me a month to get away. I quit my job and collected the deposit on my apartment. These had been his conditions: That I have nothing left to return to. I had complied without even knowing what kind of home I would be going to. It wasn't the luxurious estate that I'd been offered in the 80s. It was a working farm, and I found myself used not only sexually but for labor. He would work me until I was ready to drop, and then he would fuck me. As he promised, he quit taking his meds during this time. He didn't simply fuck me. He reamed out my ass with a bottle brush every day so the virus could more easily enter the bloodstream. It hurt when he fucked me, every time. It's now a month that I've been here, and I'm sick as hell. It's August, so it seems a strange month for the flu... except, of course, what I have isn't the flu. The day I woke up with a fever, throwing up, and aching all over, he told me I'd been pozzed. I've decided to continue to live with him and serve him. We've agreed that, while he will return to his meds, I will never take them. I am not living in idle luxury as per my old fantasy, but I'm nevertheless content with the life, and eventual death, I've chosen.

I would gladly travel to the Cleveland area for a real opportunity to be pozzed. I'm bi in a MF relationship, and my fiancée is a chaser too. We only live together 40% of the time; I would love to have a very special gift to give her next time we're together. We're willing to accept any bug but we want the big one. I've dreamed of chasing HIV for well over fifteen years, and now I'm actually doing it. I will submit to brutal use if it increases my chances of being infected. Please check out my profile; I am very much for real.

I keep seeing a lot of people on here looking for a 'recharge' of hiv. I have done some research and cannot find where there is any such thing or at least not in any medical reviews I have found. My question is: Is there such a thing? Seems like if you have HIV, you have it and cannot get anymore of it, other than maybe, since there seems to be about 2 strains of it around, maybe catch a different strain of it? Kind of confusing I think. Ooops, I just noticed my fingers got tangled again. Meant I have found 3 strains mentioned and one of them is drug resistant? Not really in the know as much as many on here but do try to keep up with things. My 'strains' also are major strains recognized by medical pros and there may be some others as well but not documented as well?

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-man-charged-with-failing-to-reveal-he-had-hiv-to-partner-20141025-story.html I found this case to be interesting because it seems like it is only one persona against another one, whereas these cases usually involve several plaintiffs. Aditionally it happened in a major city that is fairly progressive on social issues, Not kansas, the south, etc. Sorry but again this is why i think stealthing in almost any real world circumstance is absolutely crazy. Even voluntary transmission with willing participants seem like a very slippery slope, especially if there isn't written proof. Its also a GREAT reason why anyone HIV+ should be on treatment. Guys who are undetectable are very safe, and unlikely to transmit anything. So that alone is a very plausible defense given current research TASP. Here's another story with different circumstances but also involving the prosecution of individuals. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-hiv-criminal-cases-met-20140905-story.html#page=1

So now that PrEP is available, what is the best insurance to cover PrEP? I'm sure not all insurance plans are equal. Which ones have you had experience with that cover the whole cost? I know that Gilead has a $200 copay help, but I want to talk exclusively about regular insurance and what your experience has been like with them while trying to get PrEP. Are some insurance plans more "gay friendly" than others? Inquiring minds want to know!
-
Here's my situation - - I've done some moderately risky things. - Thinking PrEP is a good idea. - Have great, gay-friendly clinic nearby (Fenway Health). - Confident a Doctor there would prescribe Truvada for PrEP. - Awesome, but .. - Truvada isn't covered by my insurance, and I doubt I could afford co-pays if it were. That's where I'm at. Is this Gilead thing the most viable way forward?

To stop a man with HIV who has infected eight other people in the last four years, public health officials have sought court enforcement of its order requiring him to attend counseling and treatment sessions. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2024509443_hivorderxml.html -

Hey I'm a fairly active gay guy who is severely allergic to latex and have even had absurd reactions to non latex condoms. I bareback because of this and because it just feels better and means I don't have an itchy region for long periods of time. I've probably fucked 100 guys, about 30 since I last tested negative. During one of these times my dick was covered in blood and I took PEP for 14 days. I never went for the test after. I've topped 90% of the time and taken a few loads in my ass and once I was raped. I know I have a high chance of being HIV positive and I know if that's the case that I will no longer want to continue. I don't know why I'm posting this, I just have no where else to write this. I'm terrified and it's all my own fault. Sorry guys,

So this weekend I shared in confidence with a couple friends that I plan on starting PrEP and one of them (who's also promiscuous) had the strangest reaction and basically called me a slut for even considering it. The other stayed quiet but share with me before that he thought it was a good idea. Has anyone else tried having this conversation with very close friends or do you keep this private?

Well, I was diagnosed with HIV in february, I believe the infection occurred in march of 2013. My CD4 count is at 580 cells/µL of blood. My Viral Load is at 48000/mL of blood. That was the first test I've maed it. I have no symthoms at all. My question is: Should I start the antiretroviral therapy immediately or should i wait a little bit longer? Thank you guys!

I just watched the HBO film The Normal Heart. I am not old enough to remember what being gay was like before AIDS came along. This movie spells it out. Not so much the before, but the beginning of the crisis. Everyone should see this moving film.

How long after coming into contact with a POZ load that will seroconvert you does it take to show symptoms? Sunday, I took a POZ load from a guy that said he was undetectable. By Tuesday/Wednesday, I had swollen lymph nodes and a sore throat. I've also had some muscle aches in my upper legs (thighs) - could this be seroconversion taking place?

Has anyone looked into Obamacare and HIV? I'm still on my parents insurance and untested, i'll need my own insurance soon. none of the information on the web is very clear. i was wondering if anyone has investigated it and what you think.

I've been thinking about doing a mechanics course and working my way towards an aircraft engineers license. Does anyone here happen to know if being poz is a disqualifying factor? I've heard that it's a big no-no but I can't find any solid answers elsewhere, and though I emailed a few airlines HR depts, I only got non-commital waffle answers that were copied straight out of some generic anti-discrimination bullshit.

Does anybody know about Issac Jones' status? He shot his first BB scene at the end of last year for Lucas Entertainment. Of course this alone does not mean that he has to be poz. But if you look at his recent pictures... well, he is not only looking older but also not that healthy anymore... Could be drugs or could be the HIV... What do you think?
-
Of course i know there is a risk, but i would like to know if anyone of you know someone who have turned hiv+ by rough deepthroating and swallowing cum.

I might just be overreacting but a couple of weeks ago I bottomed unprotected with a guy I met on Craigslist. He said he was neg and disease free and was looking for the same only... But I know that people may lie or not really know their status. Today I woke up feeling a little fatigued and then I started feeling a little warm. I took my temp- 99.6. I felt like I got a little warmer after that and I took my temp- 100.7 this time, then 101.6 a couple minutes later. The weird part is I wasn't feeling really feverish. No chills, no burning up. I went out and I've been taking my temp for the past few hours. Temp has been ranging between 100.3 and 100.8. I don't understand why. I don't feel sick at all, and I don't even really feel feverish. Knowing that this is the usual timeframe on which newly infected guys will experience ARS, I am getting very nervous. I just simply cannot explain where this temp is coming from. Am I overreacting? I want to go to CVS and buy an OraQuick test to get this question answered, but I'm so nervous. Thoughts?

What were your first symptoms, that made you doubt if you could have HIV, and made you decide to get tested? (for example red itchy spots on your skin)? -
I was currently detected HIV+ and I'm taking truvada and efavirenz, I was wondering if I can still do other drugs with these meds or not, like mdma/extasy or coke does anyone know?
