Deepanalnut Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 If you are having 2nd thoughts you can a) do it but with condoms don't do it If you're the one fucking, the risk is low. very low. it's not 0% though and the highest concentration of virus is in "ass juice" aka the mucous lining in the rectum and colon (if you go that deep). If you are the one being fucked, obviously the risk is significantly higher but that will depend on his VL (and if he's telling you the truth). ART, when taken religiously, should take the patient to undetectable levels. Obviously people don't get testing every day so VL can go up and down depending on a variety of factors. At the end of the day, though, this is a decision you have to make based on risk vs reward. If this is a conquest and you can live with the risk (and possible results) of fucking someone with HIV, go for it. Otherwise stick with the neg guys. I caught my virus from an upstream infection. It happens. It was also a woman but that's another story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben in Maine A: I can’t give you an exact answer, but I can help you understand the relative risks involved in various exposures. There are three factors to consider, only one of which is affected by which position you’re in: Dose—How much virus is present in various locations in your HIV-positive partner during sex. A person not on treatment and with a very high serum viral load is going to have a lot of virus at different sites. We don’t actually measure viral load at different sites but use the serum viral load to tell us what the relative amount will be in, say, the rectal tissues. It will be higher in someone not on treatment (and maybe not even aware that they are positive), and it will be lower in someone on treatment. Exposure—This refers to how much surface area of mucous membranes (where the virus can enter the body) is exposed and to amount of time you are exposed. Since the opening of the urethra is relatively small, being a top entails less exposure than being a bottom. Resistance—This refers to your own resistance to HIV at the mucous membrane location of exposure. If you have an STD, for example (which you might not even realize), your body’s resistance to HIV is reduced. All other things being equal—the length of a sexual encounter, whether your immune system is compromised by another infection—your risk is considerably greater as a bottom than as a top. However, reduced risk is not the same thing as no risk. Unfortunately, we have seen many men test positive for HIV after unprotected sex; they often incorrectly assumed they did not need to use condoms if they only had sex as a top. I applaud you for wanting to be aware of risk factors in order to make educated decisions about your health. Please protect yourself, and get tested regularly, regardless of whether you are a top, a bottom or you switch it up. —RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepanalnut Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 What is an upstream infection? slang for the one doing the penetration catching the bug. It's rare and goes against normal germ transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
