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.

  • 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.

Did you have unprotected penetrative anal or vaginal sex or did you share needles and syringes with her to inject drugs?

Q, unless you tell us specifically what you did sexually we cannot make an intelligent evaluation of the situation in terms of potential risk.

Details man, details if you want us to be helpful.

"Good Girls" get HIV too. Please don't make character judgments. We won't make them on you for not being a "good boy."

Did you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex?

"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."
