krp,

In order to be a long term survivor, you have to have hiv. You do NOT have hiv.

You didn't have a risk in the first place.

Kissing is NOT a risk for hiv infection. Not only is saliva not infectious, but it also contains over a dozen different proteins and enzymes that damage hiv and render it unable to infect.

You do NOT have hiv!

krp,

I know plenty of real life examples where kissing an hiv positive person was safe. I'm hiv positive and I've kissed many hiv negative people without infecting them. It's totally safe.

An LTS is someone who was infected with hiv before the better hiv medications came out in 1996. It has nothing to do with you. You are not an LTS.

You didn't have a risk for hiv. You don't have hiv.

krp,

If you don't stop posting in the LTS forum and other places where you are not permitted to post, I will ban you from these forums.

So far I've had to delete four posts from you that were posted in the wrong place. I already told you to stop doing this.

PLEASE CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED FOR THE LAST TIME!!!

krp,

Please quit using ALL CAPS when you write. It's difficult to read.

LTS have already seroconverted. LTS already HAVE hiv.

I don't hate you and I'm not angry (yet), but you are rather annoying.

You do NOT have hiv. You are NOT an LTS. You do NOT have hiv!

Why would you have hiv when kissing is NOT a risk for hiv and not one person has ever been infected this way?

Stop talking about LTS. You aren't one and you haven't reported anything which suggests you were at risk for HIV.

Are you listening to anything which is being said to you or are you just rattling on in a nervous frenzy? It seems the latter.

Also, stop writing in all capital letters. It's considered to be rude on the web as if you are shouting when you are speaking. You won't get any more or faster attention by using capital letters.

kpr,

You're talking about LTNP (long term non-progressors), not LTS.

LTNP do not take any longer to seroconvert than any one else.

The vast majority of people - including LTNP - who have actually been infected will seroconvert and test positive by six weeks, with the average time to seroconversion being only 22 days. Where there has been a real risk (you have not had a risk) a six week negative must be confirmed at the three month point, but is highly unlikely to change.

People who are LTNP and have a very low or undetectable viral load will still test positive on an antibody test and will do so within the first six weeks of infection and will continue to test antibody positive for the rest of their life.

You are not an LTNP. You are not an LTS.

What you ARE is hiv NEGATIVE. Got it? Good, because I'm not going to tell you again.

If you read the Welcome Thread before posting like you're supposed to and like I asked you to earlier, you will have read the following posting guideline:

Quote

Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums). If you continue to post excessively after one Time Out, you may be given a second Time Out which will last eight weeks. There is no third Time Out - it is a permanent ban. The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.


Please consider yourself warned for the absolute LAST time!

No one has ever been infected through deep kissing. In addition to NOT containing infectious HIv particles, saliva contains over a dozen elements that de-activate the virus.

And yes, sometimes people claim they have been infected through improbable (and impossible) circumstances. Their claims do not stand up to any inquiry. Also, sometimes we get people who claim to be HIV positive who are, in fact, not. This is the internet, so you can expect almost anything from time to time.

Kissing is NOT a risk for HIV, no matter what the circumstances.

No, we are not going to kindly bear with your comments and questions. Read our lesson on transmission if you haven't already done so.

If you return again with more nonsense you are going to get a Time Out really quickly.

krp,

You have already tested conclusively hiv negative for a NO RISK event. We have repeatedly told you that you do not have hiv. How could you when you never had a risk in the first place.

Remember that time out warning I gave you in September? It still stands.

Consider yourself warned for the absolute last time!!!

You do NOT have hiv.

krp,

This is in response to the Moderator Report you sent concerning the posts of Jane007. As you have been previously told, sometimes people do not always tell the truth concerning how they were infected. As Jane was only active on these forums for three days, I can only conclude that she wasn't being honest and left when she realised we weren't going to play her game.

None of that changes the fact that you do not have hiv. You have tested conclusively hiv negative.

I'm giving you that time out you were warned about. Do not attempt to create a new account to get around your time out because if you do, you will be permanently warned.
