Do I Have HIV? / Re: Snorting cocaine worry
« Last post by Jim Allen on Today at 11:49:10 am »
I read your post three times.

It's not an HIV risk, relax and move on with your life.

Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Talk to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and getting vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.

Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.

Kind regards

Jim

Do I Have HIV? / Snorting cocaine worry
« Last post by Bard28 on Today at 11:25:41 am »
Hi
Firstly want to thank you for all of the replies on here Jim, I have been following the site for a while. I am quite an anxious person in general, so I was hoping you could put my mind at ease. A few weeks ago I was on a night out. I snorted some cocaine with some work buddies and I realised that one of the buddies had a nose bleed. He continued to do cocaine over the night but I didn’t see any visible blood in the cocaine but since we were all doing it (sharing different bags), I am nervous that some blood from his nose went onto the cocaine and I snorted it after him. Although this would likely have been at the very least 5-10 minutes after him. We all had our own keys/straws.

Thanks

Gracias Jim, me quedo tranquilo. La verdad por cuestión de seguridad y tranquilidad opté por la prevencion combinada de prep y condon, aveces nuestro propio cerebro nos boicotea e incluso somatizamos sintomas "irreales".

Saludos, Excelente contenido.

Living With HIV / downside to outliving people
« Last post by leatherman on Yesterday at 04:10:22 pm »
Waking up today, blearily-eyed I glanced at my tablet on the nightstand. Like every year before, there was a calendar notice – the anniversary of Jim’s death. My stupid brain decided it was awake enough to do some math figuring up how long it’s been since that fateful day in 2008.

Sixteen years. OMG It was sixteen years after Randy’s death when I started dating Larry and I couldn't believe how long Randy had been gone. Now I almost couldn’t believe it's been that long since I lost Jim. Then I calculated some more and realized later this month on the 25th it’ll be 30 years since Randy passed away.

While I certainly don’t mind being a Long Term Survivor (40 yrs this December!), there’s a downside to outliving the people I love – sadness. While I handle it pretty well most of the time, I sure hate the way it can sneak up on you when you're least expecting it.

So today I looked through all the old pictures, remembered all the good times (especially all the pool parties), and then went out to drain and clean the pool up after winter, so I can start filling it up tomorrow.

He realizado sexo oral insertivo y receptivo sin condon en algunas ocasiones, ¿Existen riesgos de adquirir el vih por esta practica estando en regimen prep?

No hace una diferencia real.. Sin PrEP, esto no supone un riesgo de contraer VIH.

Cualquier los detalles recibiendo el sexo oral es sin riesgo por el VIH, carece de las condiciones necesarias para que el VIH.

Cuando darlando sexo oral tu saliva tiene mas que doce elementos y proteinas los cuales son muy efectivos contra el VIH y el riesgo es mas teorica que es verdadero.

Esto es lo que necesita saber para evitar una infección por VIH:

Use condones para el coito anal o vaginal, de manera correcta y constante, siempre, sin excepciones. continuar tomando PrEP como una capa adicional de prevención del VIH.

Tenga en cuenta que algunas prácticas sexuales que pueden ser descritas como seguras en términos de VIH podrían representar un riesgo para la transmisión de otras ITS mucho más fáciles de adquirir.

Hágase la prueba regularmente para detectar el VIH y las ITS.

Puede encontrar más información sobre Fundamentos del VIH, PEP, TaSP y Transmisión a través de los enlaces en mi firma.

Saludos cordiales

Mis chequeos de serologia HIV, VHC, VHB, VDRL han sido normales en los controles que me realizan.
