I have to subtract so I dont scare the sissies away.

My Youtube thingy doesnt have a birthdate in it, buuuuuut whatevs.

It did months ago until I made a reference about you lying about your age on here and that I'd found your actual name, after which the information just like totally and magically disappeared.  

I wonder if I took a screencap of that and have it on my hard drive back in Filthydelphia.  I keep files on certain members of AIDSmeds, you know.

Firstoff I feel for any person suffering from low testosterone. Personally I feel that it is hard enough to age gracefully without other factors robbing you not only of your appearance, but also your self confidence. I am new to all of this but I can only hope that I will be loved enough and love myself enough that I can accept whatever changes are in store for me not only as I age, but as I age as an HIV poz guy.

On a side note this post really turns my stomach. I really love all of you guys and I am eternally grateful for all of the support and advice I have found on this website. I was looking forward to the AMG gathering in SEA, but to be honest I don't allow drama into my personal life so why would I continue coming to a site where it's becoming less and less about getting positive support and more like mudslinging? I get that if this site was only medical advice and straight forward support that it would become boring to most, and I also understand that several of you guys have been here so long that you feel comfortable saying almost anything to one another.

I dunno I think I would enjoy this site more as a guest looking in and reading about this disease that I stare in the eyes everyday that I wake. I think because I have now gotten to know Will personally that I am defensive about him, and ofcourse I can only imagine that so many of you have the same relationships and feel and act the same way. I just hope that I never get to the point where I make "files" on anyone, much less people that I consider my friends. This site should be enjoyable, and quite frankly I think for me the enjoyment level has gone for now. I'm going to look for some active groups here in Ft Lauderdale and maybe some IRL support groups for the next phase of my diagnosis acceptance.

You guys are totally awesome and inspire me to live a long, healthy and full life... yes even you Miss P! Here's to a wonderful and peaceful 2011!

I'd ignore the mudslinging.  It kinda comes with the territory and probably goes on in real life support groups.  I'd also take Ms. P's comments in jest.  Having met him twice, I can tell you that he is a gentlemen.

Oh jesus, what a bunch of panty wetters -- La Wumpette and I PM each other daily and have done so for a year.  I'm just giving her some creative ribbing.  Some of you need to grow a pair of balls (larger than Wumpy's, which assuredly will return to their previous state if it's anything like when I went on and off testosterone shots myself years ago).

Frankly I've probably given Wumpy more personal support about the ins and outs of testosterone shots via private message than the rest of you will in this thread. 

As far as keeping "files" on fellow members that was a joke -- do you honestly think I sit and make screen caps of the lame manhunt profiles of you girls, when I could be utilizing that time for masturbation and porn torrenting?

Lak, seriously?  Some heads in here take everything too literally (I guess I would call them poz forums fundamentalists).  Feels like this place has become a gigantic eggshell where you have to mind your every step, and watch every word you say, as there is a high chance that someone's sensibilities are going to get hurt (or, G_d forbid, that someone will start screaming "bully" or something else).  To be frank it gets a little tiresome.

Very disappointed and feeling like I should be singing my own swan song.

Had my results today. Doc made me drop trou since I was freaking out over my balls. She proceeded to fondle my jewels and said they are normal size and said something about falling within average size range (I didn't know there was an average size range for testicles).

She refused to even entertain the idea of prescribing anything for my small balls, she indicated that if at some time in the future they fall below clinically average size we will discuss what to do. She's ok with taking Saw Palmetto to prevent any potential hair loss but was noncommittal on the efficacy of such.

With that being said, my testo is still low at 113 (although a far cry from where I started). She directed me to double the dosage to 2ml injected every 10-14 days. I'm sort of averse to doing that. But she said the plan is to get me into normal range in an attempt to reset the Testosterone levels and then start pulling back to see if my body can start making it again.

She said that yes, hopefully I will be able to stop replacement therapy at some point. She also confirmed that the testicles will return to "my normal size" once I am able to get off the injections.

With that, I deem this thread closed.

Is this drop in testosterone related to HIV or a medication side effect?


You know I was just considering that myself, as I have noticed a shrinkage, the writer in me was considering a novel where in the future geneticists, were actively using medication to achieve this effect, but then I digress.

I believe that situations like the one mentioned are the reason we invented the phrase "Come having had."

Ahh, you're a brilliant one aren't ya.

I've never not worked out and still managed to have the lowest Test level my doc has seen. However, now a year later my test level is finally low normal thanks to replacement therapy.

Private pics. Give me a break you perv. Why do you need to see his nuts. He said they shrunk. So thats that. You seeing pics will change nothing. Your not a doctor just another gay pervert

Resurrectingcting a thread to make a personal attack is so declasse.  Start a new thread if you must do so!  If you think this is a huge perv comment, you're bound to have a bumpy ride and better hold on to your girdle.

"From tiny acorns grow might oaks."

More like "tiny acorns at the base of my Mighty Oak" (actually its more like a towering Redwood)

My grapes have not grown, but I've embraced them and become quite fond of them.

Thanks for everyone's concern.

Being the perv I am, I'm almost afraid to make this comment;

It's not true without pics!  We demand proof!

That is still so funny.  I'm probably one of the least perv here and am the one who got called out on it.
