As a general rule, I get tested for anything and everything under the sun except for HIV at least once a year, but usually twice. As for HIV, I have not been tested since March 2009.

I would do the same thing right back, knowing that it would get his attention. It's always worked…

After all, the rules are very clear... Either we both can, or we both can't hehe

More likely than not, it would be the anal sex that would cause it in a case like that. The reason that I say this is that I have a few nurse friends, one of which works specifically dealing with HIV. In their many many years of experience, they have NEVER seen so much as ONE positive test result when oral sex has been the only mode of contact. Granted, this does not prove that it's impossible, but it sure does suggest that it's not very likely.

Yes to all…

In fact, I was just at a sex party today at The Attic hehe.

"Some" cases? The only one that I'm aware of is the woman who claims that she contracted HIV through oral sex when she performed it the day following dental surgery while she was still bleeding somewhat. Some would suggest that there is more than 1 case, which makes me curious to know what case(s) they're referring to….

@Exphleb:

Piss is sterile coming out of the body. However, virii can pass from blood to urine.

Can you provide documentation that this is also the case with HIV? This would be the first that I've ever heard of the potential for the presence of HIV in urine. Also, this begs the question, if urine is sterile, how can it be contaminated with a virus? Wouldn't this mean that it's not sterile? I just don't understand how there can be such an obvious contradiction. As far as I'm aware, there is absolutely NO evidence that proves that this is possible with HIV. By the same token, there is also no evidence that suggests or otherwise proves that HIV is or is not present within ejaculative fluid or pre-cum either… That being said, there is newer documentation that has been made available that seems to suggest (in theory anyway) that with a suppressed viral load, the only place in which to really find the virus within the human body is within the bone marrow. This is why there are a few bizarre and odd-ball cases where claims have been made that HIV treatment medications have been able to remove the virus from the system if administered early enough. Sadly though, there aren't exactly many people jumping at the chance to experiment with this alleged cure theory for obvious ethical reasons.

@Exphleb:

If someone tests negative for HIV, good chance they're clean.

I would beg to differ on this point. Given the reality of the approximately 2 week window (with some tests that can take up to 3 months, or in VERY rare cases, up to 6 months), it is quite possible that someone who sleeps around on a regular basis can test "clean", and then contract HIV the day after the blood was drawn. These are reasons why I say that HIV testing alone is not necessarily all that it's cracked up to be. There are other variables in the equation to take into account, such as whether or not the person is a complete tramp and sleeps around on the daily.

@Exphleb:

Remember, HIV can take 3 months before detection using older systems. Modern tests can get an accurate reading within 24-48 hours after contact.

Actually, there's a slight flaw to that statement. By any government approved tests for the masses, the point of seroconversion must occur before the test will yield any result. The immune system must get overwhelmed with the virus as to begin creating the anti-body and protein necessary. This process generally occurs within about 2 weeks. Perhaps with more sophisticated testing it may be possible to come to a determination about whether or not the virus is present, however any of the tests that are available to the masses do not actually detect the actual virus itself… They only detect the "by-products" for lack of a better term. This is largely due to the fact that Public Health (both in Canada & the USA) use the MEIA & Western Blot for their testing methods, which yield a "non-reactive" result if this process has not yet occurred. If there are such tests that can verify this within 24 - 48 hours, this begs the obvious question of why are these tests not the standard norm, instead of the current system that is used in the masses?

@Exphleb:

The facts have changed dramatically; gays have the lowest percentage of the population who are infected. This number continues to decrease.

Actually, this statement is a little misleading. As far back as 2003, the number of heterosexual women with HIV on a GLOBAL scale exceeded that of gay men. That being said however, within North America, the proportions are actually quite different than looking at stats as a whole on a global scale. According to the CDC, within North America, the number of gay men infected with HIV is still substantially higher than that of any other group.

More recent study results that were recently published seem to indicate that there's another key to take into account. That key is the person's viral load. It is actually noted that if the person is on HIV meds and has an undetectable viral load that there has not been so much as one confirmed case of transmission, even with unprotected sex. Long story made short, there's more to take into account when assessing your risk factor than it would seem on the surface.

From the sounds of things, it would appear that you (or someone using your computer) may have clicked on a link or ad of some sort that wasn't what it claimed to be, or that they did not know that they were being re-directed to a malware site. My recommendation would be to try running a scan with SpyBot Search & Destroy, which you can find online at www.safer-networking.org

I think this should help to cleans any remnant that you may find of such things. Also, I suggest running an in-depth registry scan with ccleaner after you are done with the SpyBot just to make sure that you haven't opened up any other potential registry issues by removing some of the other references to these things that SpyBot does not detect automatically. This generally will come up in your MUIcache, given the way that the system registry works.

@kumar777:

I seriously intend to emigrate to Canada in roughly two years time. From what I have researched on the internet, Canada generally is more accepting of lgbt folks. You confirm?

I can definitely confirm this. There are some more remote areas where people just don't talk about such things, but on the most part, nobody in Canada cares if you're gay. Most of them have the approach of "as long as you're not trying to suck my dick, life is good".

First, you go to BitBucket and upload your desired image.

Then, you can post your uploaded Avitar by copying the link that BitBucket gives you and put it into your forum profile. If you need more detailed instructions, I would be happy to provide them.

@kumar777:

Douches like him who do drug dealing deserve no pity. Hope he has a nice time in prison as the new fag.

Haha… You're assuming that he will go to a federal facility. In the lower state/provincial facilities (depending on if you're in Canada or the USA), that kind of thing is relatively uncommon... If however you're in a federal facility where generally sentences run no less than 2 years, then you're probably correct with that assessment hehe

I kind of get where you're coming from coming from on that point, but I'm not sure that I can completely agree with that. Whether you're in Canada or the USA, you're protected by law from any form of discrimination. Granted, businesses have the right to refuse service to any given customer at their discretion, but when it comes down to refusing service to someone simply because they're gay, black, asian, etc is just not something that I can support. Now that being said, if a business owner, minister, etc refuses service to someone because they're a downright asshole and they're really hard to deal with, then I say by all means, deny service. In my opinion it shouldn't be based on any physical attribute that the person may or may not have, but rather should be based individually on how the person you are offering said product or service to handles the situation, rather than race, colour, sexual orientation, or any other physical attribute they may or may not have.

I can understand where you're coming from. There's one thing that I will say to that though. NEVER stop being yourself. If people are going to look down at you or otherwise stare, I say make it worth their while. More often than not, men who act all homophobic are actually in denial that they do have at least some sexual attraction to men themselves, but are too ashamed to admit it to anyone for some reason. If they're gonna stare, give them something to stare at hehe….

That being said, I would take it as a compliment that such people notice you. That generally is a sign of interest, even though you may not necessarily be interested in them.

In my case, I had a lot of extra wool available at my disposal, so I took to making my own custom creations as a valentine's gift because much like you, I am flat broke this Valentine's day.

As long as the two of you are happy with each other, I fail to see where the problem is. I mean, I do get where your friends are coming from, but in my opinion, being happy is more important than being "politically correct" as it were.

I don't know about LEVI, but for me, my preference for bareback has to do with the feel and the sensation…. Not to mention that I'm a piggy... If you're gonna fuck me, make sure you do it right and finish the job by unloading as deep as you can. The feeling of doing that when a condom is involved is just NOT the same.

Of course… It's the best way to pre-lube the hole before you dive in.

If you bottom like I do, you can fuck harder even with a bigger dick… It's just more fun that way hehe.

Not in most cases…. If you're using a really super fast like 150Mbit connection, then it's possible the VPN may not be able to keep up with your connection, but otherwise, you shouldn't really notice much difference at all.... Although some VPN torrenting can actually increase your speed because of traffic shaping imposed on P2P traffic by your ISP.

I'm just a little curious to know what your objection to BitCoin is. I see it as a good thing because it's a much more anonymous way to make a donation, instead of using your credit card directly.
