Actually, let me set the record straight…. AIDS is not the root issue, HIV  the root issue. That being said, there are actually two main types (referred to as Type 1 and Type 2).

The interesting thing about this is that the roots of HIV-1 are more commonly found within North America which roughly traces back to Europe of all places, but didn't become catastrophic until it reached the US population, starting in California. HIV-2 on the other hand is more common to Africa, and has a distinctly different makeup than the HIV-1 virus that is more prevalent within North America.

Now that all being said, it is important to understand the key difference between HIV and AIDS.... HIV is merely the presence of the virus, however AIDS is technically classified as a CD4 count below 200, which is where other illnesses can begin to set in and create real problems. For those that do not know, the CD4 cells are the particular cells found within your white blood supply that your immune system uses to fight off any foreign substance/matter within your body. In short, the lower the number equates to the more danger you are in, and the higher the number equates to the stronger your system is.

After posting this, I noticed another interesting comment with regards to the lack of protection in Africa

Viral Load is another key thing to take into account when assessing the risks. The only known way in which to suppress the viral load to keep the virus at bay is with proper medications. The problem comes in here where the big pharma companies are all greedy and charge outrageous amounts for their medications, even though the R&D is already long ago paid for. I'll bet that you didn't know that in North America alone (where the companies are the greediest), the average cost of medications to keep someone with HIV alive are approximately $2000 - $4000 for a 30 day supply, depending on the particular pharmacy that you go to. The bigger the pharmacy chain, the more they'll charge. These kinds of prices are just not affordable to the masses, particularly in places like Africa. Granted, the medications you'll find in Africa are much different than the ones that you will find within North America for two different reasons, the biggest of which being the US pharma companies are too greedy to make their drugs affordable to the masses.

There is another factor that many people who do bareback porn take into account. Well… It's split up into two different parts. The first is the viral load.... Simply put, a number of studies have been done in the last few years to attempt to quantify the risk of HIV transmission particular to unprotected gay sex. The interesting thing is that in every study, they all noted that there has not been so much as one case of HIV transmission from an HIV+ person with an undetectable viral load. This is one factor they often look at. If the person is undetectable, a lot of people will decide to participate anyway.

The second factor to take into account is whether or not the person who is not HIV+ is on PrEP. The down side to PrEP is that it too is not exactly a guarantee. It was only noted to substantially reduce the risk. A lot of people who are not and do not want to become HIV+ but do bareback porn will also use PrEP..... So the single answer to the question would be no... It's not a culprit for AIDS.

@groovedware:

Mind I am on Truvada & Raltegravir, which when I started was still in trials.

Raltegravir…. Better known to the "big pharma" as the brand named "Insentress" hehe

If you have a resistance to Prezista and/or Norvir, you may be better off to go with Insentress instead. It's much more effective, and has fewer side effects.

I cannot mention many details, but it's sufficient to say that there were security reasons for the chat box being removed (at least for now). As we state very clearly in our terms, we are very committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We understand that removing the chat box is not exactly the most convenient method for our users, but it was necessary as at least a temporary measure in order to protect the privacy of our users.

I think one of (or both of) the two of you may be a little confused. There is a HUGE difference between PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) and PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). The big difference is:

PrEP: This is what is used as the pre-exposure to HIV medication. The other common drug that is used is Prezista, which is similar to the old 3TC medication. The Prezista is commonly used as a secondary follow up (or morning after pill) to the Truvada before exposure, however is more often used as a PEP

PEP: This is the term used for the treatment that is used post-seroconversion. Among these many drugs include Truvada and Prezista, however this is the category in which you will find all the other HIV medications listed in. They're specifically for post-exposure use. This is very different than the use of Truvada as a pre-exposure prevention.

All this being said, which of the two exactly are we talking about here?

Allow me to shed some light on that…. There has been nothing that scientifically proves that HIV is present in pre-cum. Let's be very clear about that.  :panic:

Regardless of whether or not HIV is present in pre-cum, there has never been so much as one documented case of HIV transmission through oral sex alone (and believe me... such things ARE tracked). I will agree that the viral load of the partner who is HIV+ plays a role in the risk assessment. Several accredited studies have now been done specifically to quantify the risk associated with bareback sex among gay men. The troubling problem that they each and every one of the studies has had so far is that not one of them has been able to even reasonably suggest that there has been even one case of HIV transmission from a partner with an undetectable viral load to another individual.

Simply put, the lower the viral load, the lower the risk. If not even one case of transmission has happened even with repeated bareback sex when one partner is undetectable, it would certainly stand to reason that the future studies that are under way to test the theory that you cannot transmit the virus if undetectable are likely to be quite promising. I myself have NEVER used a condom since I have been undetectable and can still proudly say that with several years of repeated bareback sex with some partners who are not HIV+, I have NEVER transmitted HIV to another person. Several years of this same result from my own experience can confirm that I too have accomplished the same end result.

As someone who has been living with HIV for nearly 6 years now I can tell you that the chances of getting HIV through something like rimming are negligible at best to begin with assuming that you have no open sores and such. That being said, the risk of contracting HIV from someone who is undetectable in any format has yet to be seen. Thus far there has yet to be even ONE documented case of HIV transmission from a person who is undetectable.

Simply put, for many reasons, you have nothing to be afraid of.

EDIT: Just a quick side-note…. There is also the whole enzyme in saliva that kinda neutralizes HIV itself, so even your risks for oral contact of any sort are damn near non-existent. If you're interested in knowing more, please either reply here or PM me. I'd be more than happy to give you all the pertinent information.

@pornofan:

There is nothing more exciting than hot, fresh cum directly deposited and used for a second breeding.

Amen!

There is no real cut and dry answer to this question. It's all a matter of preference really. Every person will find that they have different quirks and such that get them off that for other people, won't do a thing. I think your best bet would be to experiment with different kinds of toys and figure out what works for you.

Eventually it would become a deal breaker, if for no other reason than I'm a size queen and I'll freely admit it

Who doesn't like Sunday Sex, or sex on any other day for that matter?

It all depends on how long that it takes a mod to actually get to the report. They are submitted for mod review immediately upon user submission. If a duplicate report is rejected, you should at least get a PM advising you that the duplicate report has been rejected.

I completely understand where you're coming from with that. Sadly, in the world of the internet, once you post something in one place, it tends to take off everywhere all over the internet. I know it's frustrating, but that tends to be the way that it works, ESPECIALLY with torrent sites.

Actually, the very problem you are outlining is a known flaw to uTorrent 3.4.2…. I strongly recommend finding a way of rolling it back to an older version. This should resolve this for you.

After looking at your profile and stats, I do not see any reason why this would suddenly be the case. I think in your case, Vuze is the problem. Vuze is right up there with BitLord of torrent clients to avoid using in my books for reasons such as this.

Welcome to the "Mad Haus"…  :hehe:

Being in Southern Ontario near the lakes myself, I totally get the name

Unregistered torrent simply means that the torrent does not exist… This usually the case when one of two things happen.

1. The torrent was a duplicate torrent to one that was already posted to the tracker and thus has been removed.

2. Our good old friend called the DMCA has happened to the torrent.

@junior:

Which torrent? when you have an issue like this where something needs fixed or changed please use the help desk.

The report torrent button also works nicely too.

Absolutely you can… There is a big difference between enjoying a feeling, sensation, or a particular act and actual love itself. Sadly though, too many people confuse the two and think that they go hand in hand, or that once you have done one, the other will follow. This is simply not the case.
