I wonder where everybody in this thread lives. I personally live in Austin Texas. You can get an HIV test while you are at the bathhouse and know within the hour. I can't speak for all places in the world.

I think that many of the warnings here have made it seem that HIV is somehow worse than any other STD. It's not as if there aren't others that also greatly affect health and for which there is no known cure. That is what I contest. I think that we can teach people to exercise caution with whom they are having intercourse without generalizing any crowd of people.

For someone out there I actually don't' want to go back to before I was infected. I managed to use those resources that might not have been available to me such as counseling to become better person. While it sucks I don't regret it. I've used it as a catalyst to make a number of improvements that I might not have been motivated to make before. I love myself enough now that I don't want to take a chance at changing anything in my past.

After reading this thread, I think I'll get tested one day this week. I met a "nice girl" recently and just broke up with her because she's way too jealous. She was waaaaaay too good at having sex. I wouldn't even call it making love. We were fucking. It was great but, in the back of my mind, all I could think about was "How did she learn all of that!?"

So yeah. Possibly infected with the virus from The Walking Dead, here. I'll find out soon.

Also, you can't catch HIV from quoting someone with the virus.  See?  I hope you guys are paying attention.

You can have sex without condom with multiple chicks as long as they're all virgins. That's my suggestion to you. it feels great!

It's a bloody good time!

I hate condoms, but I ALWAYS wear a condom
