First STD?

[NorCalBBVers]

For me it was syphilis. I’m not actually sure when I got it since my first STD test was when I was 25 and I had quite a few under my belt by then. One of those damn shots is bad enough be one per week for three weeks really sucks….

 This year alone I've needed an antibiotic four times. Fucking BB means catching something on a regular basis.

BBing per-se doesn't dramatically increase your chances of catching something. If you look at the stats people get bacterial stuff in the bum about ~66% while oral is the rest. So BBing will 3x your chances versus oral only without a condom, which is about the same order of magnitude.

What does matter is the number of people you hook up with which barebackers tend to have high numbers of.

My first STD was oral and anal gonorrhea and syphilis.  Not sure which I got first but by the time I got my first broad spectrum STD test those both popped.  Comes with the territory, certainly wasn't the last time *shrug*

HIV at 18. Being a young guy looking for cock on Grindr was a magnet for men who wanted to infect me. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten some other STDs.

Herpes at 15 for me.

Only ever caught HIV in my 30s. Still awaking my inner pig! I need help with that 😈

Chlamydia a few months after I turned 18

Surprisingly replies to this question runs into 13 pages. People are just so sadist and sick that they feel invincible and never test for diseases. Spreading STDs and claiming ignorance or not getting tested is just pathetic. Consensual sex doesn't mean consent to giving STDs. Please stop with saying STDs are eventual for barebackers. They shouldn't be an eventual.

But if you have bareback sex with a variety of partners - or with anyone, even a steady partner, who also has sex with multiple partners, an STI is more likely than not.

13 pages of responses (actually, 15) does not mean people are "sadistic and sick" - it means that STI's are a common byproduct of condomless sex (and some of them can be transmitted even when condoms are used).

That doesn't mean anyone should celebrate getting STI's - in fact, fetishizing them is expressly against the rules of this site, now (there is older content that may not pass muster under current site rules, but that's only because searching it all out is too time consuming for the volunteer moderators). But just because a lot of people have experienced an STI does not mean they are "spreading STDs and claiming ignorance or not getting tested". Shit happens. We deal with it. And if you think your attitude is somehow protecting you from STIs when, by the words of your own profile, you "never refuse a fuck", then you're delusional.

My intention was to emphasis on the need for 3 months testing WITHOUT FAIL (capitals) and seriously consider using DoxyPep. I mean look at the breakthrough we have in Prep. Widespread use is bringing HIV infections down. The same applies to the relaxed attitude towards STIs. I have heard many say that STIs are bacterial and 100% treatable. That's not a healthy approach. Then my profile stands out "never refuse a load"
