Welcome


Welcome to the POZ Community Forums, a round-the-clock discussion area for people with HIV/AIDS, their friends/family/caregivers, and others concerned about HIV/AIDS.  Click on the links below to browse our various forums; scroll down for a glance at the most recent posts; or join in the conversation yourself by registering on the left side of this page.

Privacy Warning:  Please realize that these forums are open to all, and are fully searchable via Google and other search engines. If you are HIV positive and disclose this in our forums, then it is almost the same thing as telling the whole world (or at least the World Wide Web). If this concerns you, then do not use a username or avatar that are self-identifying in any way. We do not allow the deletion of anything you post in these forums, so think before you post.

  • The information shared in these forums, by moderators and members, is designed to complement, not replace, the relationship between an individual and his/her own physician.

  • All members of these forums are, by default, not considered to be licensed medical providers. If otherwise, users must clearly define themselves as such.

  • Forums members must behave at all times with respect and honesty. Posting guidelines, including time-out and banning policies, have been established by the moderators of these forums.

Please provide hyperlinks with full URLs or full citations of published works not available via the Internet. Additionally, all forums members must post information which are true and correct to their knowledge.

meech is right! Stick around the forums. Seriously, there is a wealth of valuable information here from people who have a lot of years fighting this bug. You can choose to accept or dismiss the opinions...you know what they say about opinions.

Navigating these shark infested waters can be daunting but these Queens really don't bite all that hard...thank goodness LOL!

You can say what you want about opinions. Say what you want about scientifically sound data. Data, by the way acquired past the period of time in which patient report was the only vector for transmission research.

I would never ask anyone to go by opinion. How condescending to place the long term survivors in that category.

Especially the ones currently giving advice in the AM I INFECTED threads.



"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

I used to keep a spreadsheet, too. Just for myself to keep track. I stopped after guy #100, though.
I wish I had kept logging.
