So I just got hit up by this guy on Grindr. Said he was undetectable and I'm totally neg. Foolishly agreed to fuck. He didn't cum inside me but I know there's more than that way of getting HIV. He had a huge biohazard tattoo on him so I think he's a dirty bastard who lies in order to breed guys.

How long until I can get tested for HIV and other STI's?

HIV hasn't been 3 months for years. 4 weeks is fine.

HIV Test should be:

Asap just to ensure you are neg

1 month

4 month

6 month is definitive normally but you can always ask for more later.

 

Don't bareback if you don't want to get poz bro.

Unless you have a super monogamous BF everyone can be a potential stealther or unconcious pozer

Anyone who barebacks wants to get pozzed, brother. You wouldn't engage in such activities otherwise. Just embrace it, get pozzed, don't take meds, die like a true soldier.

 

I guess you are kinda right, if you know all that BB involves and you still decide to do it you probably are an inconcscious chaser...

no, i wouldn't say anyone who barebacks is a chaser. it's just sex and fucking natural, like it was meant to be.  Most guys just fuck bare because it feels better, or they can perform better.  They may try to use risk reduction strategies, but no strategy is 100% fool proof. Maybe that makes all all fools who accept that there is risk in life. yolo

Guys, thus is the Sexual Health not the Backroom. Poz fetish talk does not belong in this area. Please dial it back, or you will get a suspension.

My huge biohazard tattoo is there more because I want to start discussion about HIV and show that I'm not ashamed to be poz (it is, after all, still visible when I'm fully dressed) than it is because I'm a "dirty bastard who lies in order to breed guys". Unless he told you that himself, you haven't really got any reason to think it.

I disagree.  Some of us would rather not get pozzed but we are fully aware that it could happen.  I would rather not deal with HIV and it's effects on the body if I can avoid it.  But in the end I know that my desire for raw cock means I am could get pozzed unless I go on PrEP but that is something I am comfortable with, because I have educated myself and know the risks involved and what I would be in for if I did test positive.  Kniowledge is power.

Men have been barebacking way before HIV was around. So the notion that men bareback because we want to poz is nonsense. What's happened is that because one can easily poz when barebacking, some are making a fetish out of pozing.

By way of an update. I started PEP roughly 58 hours after the sex, and tested negative with a full blood test aswell as the finger prick test three weeks ago.

Now I've got less than a week to go on the PEP, then a month's wait til my next test. Fingers crossed it's worked. The fact I left it late worries me.

Wish you luck dude. 

PEP period is hard but never give in to your fears.

Interestingly I've had none of the side effects of the drugs, aside from an ache in my lower back the first two or three days which could have been my kidneys adjusting but it may also have been because I spent five hours sat uncomfortably on a hospital chair waiting for my PEP!

Regardless of the outcome I've had a lot of time to reflect, and I guess bareback is now resigned back to the realm of wank fantasy and porn viewing. You just can't trust people out there. Hoping the final test comes back negative in August so we'll see.
