@Micheal SuperAIDS risk?
angry sex has it's perks.  8)

Condoms and u=u, either solves the superaids issue. But uptight and bitchy doesn't negate STIs. ;)

I'd be more worried about the risk of something more communicable like the flu or covid.

Off Topic Forum / Sex with someone I hate
« Last post by Jim on Today at 05:33:08 am »
There is a woman in her mid-40s in the village that I hate, hated her for years now, she is a total fu****g uptight bitch that looks down on people and complains about everything & nothing whenever she gets the opportunity.  :(

Anyhow, yesterday I had a few hours to myself whilst Miriam & Avril were babysitting and long story short, I ended up having sex with that nasty woman from the village. I got to bang the shit out of her and more importantly do a few things I've wanted to do to her for years, the sex was only okayish in the end, but it sure made me feel a lot better  ;D

If I had known having sex with someone I don't like, annoys me or hate would make me feel better I would have done so sooner, so I think for 2025 my goal is now to have more sex with people I don't like.

Do I Have HIV? / Re: Unsure if I kept myself safe
« Last post by Jim on Today at 03:11:32 am »
Hiya,

Read your post three times, what you posted here isn't an HIV risk, move on with your life.


Receiving a blowjob lacks the conditions required for acquiring HIV, thus it makes sense that after nearly 40 years of this pandemic in terms of BJ's, there hasn't been a single documented case of HIV transmission to an insertive partner (the person being "sucked"), and you will not be the worlds first. Sucking on your nipples also isn't an HIV risk, lacks any of the biological conditions needed for you to acquire HIV and the cut isn't a route for HIV to infect, also saliva is hostile towards HIV leaving it unable to infect, Cunnilingus also isn't an HIV concern.

As for intercourse, HIV can't be transmitted through an intact latex, polyisoprene or polyurethane condom. Unless a condom obviously fails during intercourse, there is no reason to be stressing about HIV or testing for HIV outside the standard yearly HIV screening, menstruating makes zero difference.

Now, of course, you had risks for far easier to transmit STIs from the oral sex received & performed on her, syphilis, herpes, gonorrhoea etc. The intercourse was also an STI risk as the levels of protection condoms offer for various STIs depend significantly on differences in how the diseases or infections are transmitted. Some infections (Not HIV) are transmitted primarily by skin-to-skin contact, viral shredding or skin-to-lesion contact, etc., which may infect areas not covered by a condom, such as genital herpes, human papillomavirus [HPV], Chancroid (Haemophilus ducreyi), Mpox etc.

However, there is no need to panic about STIs every time you have sex, just keep using condoms and get a routine HIV & STI screening yearly. Talk to your doctor about getting vaccinated against HPV, HPV, Mpox & hepatitis A & B.

So not an HIV concern, move on with your life.

Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or easier-acquired correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and consider getting vaccinated against HPV, Mpox, 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? / Unsure if I kept myself safe
« Last post by Worrisome on Yesterday at 08:27:03 pm »
Hi,

Im a 37 year old heterosexual male. I went to Thailand (18 Dec) where i picked up a girl from a bar. Super drunk of course. She gave me a blowjob and i went down on her. She sucked on my nipples, i had a cut that day that was scabbed over. We had protected sex. The issue was when i was done, i realized that there was a bit of menstrual blood on the outside of the condom. She either began having her period or was at the tailend. Under the above circumstances, have i put myself at risk for HIV transmission and wait for the window period to test? I usually have a yearly medical that does all testing and this current testing would be additional to that. Appreciate all the advice given to everyone here!

Good to see everyone today!

After catching up on holidays and snow levels, we had an interesting chat about AI and social media before talking quite some time about meds, healthcare, insurance systems, and things learned through the experience of living with HIV for an extended time.

All in all, it was like our gatherings smashed with our peer support meetings! It was both informative and friendly. See y'all next time.

It was good catching up and seeing everyone again.
