Im sure all of us hate the fact that we are positive but I just felt like complaining about being positive in Puerto Rico. IT SUCKS!!!!!! I have tried meeting people on poz.com but i guess there are a total of 13-15 people on there most of which are not my type. I try dating people where i dont know their status but i guess im still so insecure of the situation that once i do come clean i dont know where to go from there (i get scared of making any more moves and cant read whether they just want to be friends or keep going further).....puerto ricans dont know how to just "say" what they want...they are notorious for not saying anything and just leaving things be. So i dont know what to do (its like learning how to date all over again).......

im just annoyed because i like someone and dont know whether to try to move for more or just leave it be hehehe....

Its suprising that i only know 2 people with HIV, live in san juan (highest HIV rate in the caribean and for a small island its quite prevalent), and still only know 2 people. The puerto rican way "live in denial, shame, and keep your mouth shut"

i wish i lived in a big metropolitan area in the states :-P

just venting ill get over it hehehe

but i know what you mean, it happens to me as well... and i live in amsterdam... and poz.com doesn't help.... and it's like the coming out process again, and i never had a coming out of the closet process, so i have to learn how to do it now, and it really sucks...

right now i'm dating a guy, really cute... and i'm doing it "the puertorican" way... i'll tell him when the time comes, i just hope when the time comes i'll know that it came, and what to say!!!

one of my ex-boyfriends is puerto rican, bi sexual and still "in the closet"  :-\ closets are for clothes, not people. oh well. but when he and i hang out he talks non-stop. it drives me nuts even though i talk alot too

(guess he can't talk to his family)

it's not easier... i still think about it all the time... but it's just i'm afraid of rejection when i really like someone, and i really like him... so i guess i just hide it for a while, have a good time, and when things get really serious, then i drop the bomb.... right now it's just a thing, that we both don't know where is going to...

also i have the possibility that he gets to know me better for who i am and not for the diseases i carry... so then later on he will be able to make a much more informed decision...

Senor: I do agree that you are in quite uncomfortable situation on the Island. However, there are some things that you can do in order to compensate for the variables that exist right now. As far as your prospect list is concerned...ASK Questions, get them involved with some sort of conversation in order to make them feel comfortable with you during conversation.

The more comfort that is extended to them the more they will open up and say what is inside of their heart. Keep in mind that they too have experienced other things just as well and it is based on those things as to how they are currently reacting in the here and now.

KEYS: Comfort and Reassurance.

Yes, it's a club that's been around in some form or another (was called Krash for a while in the mid-90's) on Av. Ponce de León in the Santurce section of metropolitan San Juan.  If you're staying in the tourist Condado area it's an easy walk over to meet boys.

Would you also like the locations of hustlers in the city?

well thomas you talk "normal" stuff and you're not repressed. this exBF i'm talking about complains a lot because for the sake of his latino family he has to "act straight" and he's repressed so when he has my ears he lets everything out ... oops,, sorry for the "thread hijack" puertorico2006 ... my point is, i know a thing or two about repressed latino men. it's sad when anyone has to hide important facts about their lives - that's why i say honesty is the best policy

This is an interesting thread to me ...
after the last presidential election I was reading an article in the Seattle Weekly about the urban/rural divide, how cities feel nuturing to people like us.  It's easier to find a home in the margins in the cities than in the country.    Some of your sentiments are echoed here.   

I also find that it's really common to hear things about how tough it is to be gay when I grew up : __________ (fill in the blank).  I've heard this over and over from Puerto Ricans, Arabs, Catholics, Mormons, Blacks, Chinese.....   So, I can only conclude that it's tough to be gay.     

Basically, I have found that finding other poz guys is not so easy, and just about anywhere you run the risk of rejection.... or worse... violence.    Be thankful that you live in Puerto Rico and have relatively easy access to moving to the urban areas in the US.  Best of luck to you.

puertorico2006:

Yes, I find it odd that it's so hard to find other HIV+ gay men in San Juan.  That's a metropolitan area of 2 million people, and the rate of infection is significant on the entire island, though I will plead ignorance on the specifics of infection in the gay community there.  I'd assume it's as high or higher than the non-gay population.  Therefore, when you go to Eros you must assume that the same percentage of patrons is infected.  This is how I viewed everything when I lived in NYC, as I do here in Philadelphia where both cities show significant infection rates.

Whether other guys fess up to being infected, or get tested so that they know is another issue.  And yes, I understand you're point or belief that it's a unique cultural manifestation related to Boriqua-ness.  I've not visited San Juan now in 6 years so I'm not going to offer any insight on that.

Why don't you return to the 13-15 "not your type" individuals you have located and simply make a couple your friends.  Maybe you can meet some of their castaways and locate something more suitable?  Not everything is available via the internet.

FT Lauderdale  is full of poz guys, there is a lot of unprotected sexcapades going on everywhere

Brandon Poz Party used to come to the guest house I worked at, Inn Leather - 60 to 80 guys sometimes all doing it raw in one big pile

of course there is also a lot of crystal meth use too

ugh crystal meth...i hate that drug...thats the reason i ended up positive ....that is no longer part of my life thankfully ;-)

EROS is now called KRASH and yea its fun, but nothing comprared to the clubs in fort lauderdale (where im from)

I know that puerto rico has a VERY high percentage of people with HIV but of course they keep their mouths shut......

hahaha but anyways my little depressed "blah's" are gone for now ;-)....hahaha had a nice date last night (with someone negative but it went well)....i didnt think he was going to call me back after i told him i was positive...:-)....

little things like that make your day...even if it doesnt go anywhere it feels good when you dont get rejected because of that (i can handle rejection based on almost anything else)

Eros is Krash?  Krash once became Eros... I see the sense of creativity is alive and well in the gay community of La Isla Bonita.  Did they clean the hustler trash out of the Atlantic Beach Hotel yet?  Used to adore Sunday tea there... lots of carrying on and I was ever so popular.

Yea Eros was orignally Krash but they went back to the old name. I guess they tried using nostalgia to bring people back (not sure its working all that well).....

I havent been to atlantic on a sunday in FOREVER so i wouldnt know ...i havent seen much hustler trash there though when i went....i think they all moved to JUNIORS another club lol....the best club i like here is MEDUSA though...its really fun

I never get a sunday night off!!!!! I need to switch jobs (actually on my list of things i have to do)

Medusa must be relatively new.  Where is it located.  I adore San Juan, but like I said haven't visited in ages.  I used to go once per year in the winter.  I even went to Vieques one visit and really enjoyed that trip... I've travelled around much of the main island.  From what I've read though the city has changed a bit in recent years, with more upscale restaurants, etc.  My favorite restaurant was Chayote... very chic and excellent food.  But I also enjoyed more home style places like La Casita Blanca.

too much meth there

too flat

too far away from anywhere else in the US

There's meth anywhere you find homosexuals.  It's not the meth's fault.  Actually there's meth even where you don't find homosexuals so I'm not sure it's going to be a good indicator of where to reside.

yes; I am told there's lots of meth out here in Boonies, Georgia

happily I do not hang with that crowd

rather hang with the cubensis crowd, and happily I am told these do occur here!

I used to know a gay deadhead.  I think he's a yuppie now though.  He made me go with him once to see the Dead in the late 80's and I was horribly mortified by it all, though the mushrooms or acid we did were good and strong.

one of my main reasons for moving back here :-D
but now i got out of the addictive cycle so i can handle saying no ;-)

I have also used salvia divinorum in liquid form; an aphrodisiac good for nice visuals when you allow yourself to go there

yohimbe tea: once while laying back in the sling I mentally glanced over my shoulder and could see the entire line of my progenitors looking at me

all I could think to do was say "Hi!" to them....out loud...strange? :)

YES... that's what drove me over the edge.  The hippie babies and toddlers.  I found that quite unsettling.  Then again, I grew up in the punk-ish scene so it was all alien.

pent up frustrations

blew $1000 on christmas with the family (thats extremely extravangent for me) and then my transmission blew, another $1600 for that

I started asking for zoloft at my clinic last mid-december, they kept saying I couldn;t get in to see my doc until Feb 20

nice, huh?

they suggest I try Crisis Hotline to get a appt with the local mental health dept for the zoloft script

then it went into a roller coaster of doom, capped by them losing my drivers license, visa cards, cellphone, keys etc cuz they sent them off with another inmate of the mental health hospital they dumped me into after I got pissed for sitting for 4 hours at the mental health clinic

its been quite a couple weeks really, and all I wanted was some zoloft (you might hear me repeating that phrase often, its when I get my little soap box out)

im lucky...i always make friends with doctors wherever i live lol...so i just call them and ask for little prescriptions like that....too bad they wont write me prescriptions for deca or anything like that...guess im stuck building muscle the natural way for now (which sucks)...i asked my hiv doc about steroids just as a general question he said "dont even think about it...i dont believe in that stuff".....didnt like that answer ...i would have preffered "i dont believe in that becasue __________" no explanation

long time no talk!  hello, sweetness.  since we have been discussing the avatar a bit, is that a touch of facial fuzz on there or just shadowing?


during the holidays, my own body seemed to be falling apart so fast that i needed a hard hat.  starting to recover now.  my meds also tend to make my waist fluctuate up and down rather quickly at times.


speaking of...about to go munch some lunch really fast.

Well, having started the thread, what did you mean by: 'I have tried meeting people on poz.com but i guess there are a total of 13-15 people on there most of which are not my type.  Too old?  Too ____?'  (Asking in part because we have a handful of guys here on the Cape only.  It's not a question of 'type here, but of body count. :)

Then you said: 'I try dating people where i dont know their status but i guess im still so insecure of the situation that once i do come clean i dont know where to go from there (i get scared of making any more moves and cant read whether they just want to be friends or keep going further)'  We had a thread going recently in which guys were saying that while they don't lie, they often will not disclose (come clean) initially, waiting to see if there is anything there before making things complicated.  If you are willing to have safe sex only and take a chance, this might be a way of approaching guys.  Seeing if they are your type before you tell them.  And the 'reading' problem is true whether you are in NYC or Puerto Rico, trust me.  Communication is complicated for most people, seemingly.  Or they feel like deer in the headlights and freeze.

Then you said: 'its like learning how to date all over again).......' which is too true.  Or thought about another way, it's like having to rethink HOW to date.  Before sero-converting, before hiv/aids, it was have sex with anyone anytime you felt like it.  Now it's to disclose or to not disclose?  To have sex, but how to have sex?  Win

Winthrop Smith has published three collections of poetry: Ghetto: From The First Five; The Weigh-In: Collected Poems; Skin Check: New York Poems.  The last was published in December 2006.  He has a work-in-progress underway titled Starting Positions.

I'm sure a lot of it is his age.  How many HIV+ people did you encounter dating (assuming one stays in one's age group) at the age of 24.  I was diagnosed in my 20's and I will offer that it's different than being diagnosed in your 30's or 40's.

well i dont know the disclosure issue i actually prefer to get it out of the way before even thinking about sex or before i start to like them.....its easier to get rejected by someone you dont like, dont care about, and just dont care what they think :-D.....the other way would just kill my self esteem :-D

Only problem with that method is the fact puerto rico is an island so news travels faster than most places lol so i guess i have to be careful with that also....but i could also just go for the fuck-it approach and not really care who knows (i mean here in the island 2 people know and then everyone knows in a few months hehe)
I dont know whats worst, being open and saying your positive and not hide it, or having people talk about it all the time and you denying it :-P

Actually most of the guys ive met on poz.com are in their 30's-40's and nobody my own age (which is fine with me because i dont like younger guys usually....early to late 30's is ideal for me)...but their is still such a low quantity that i havent found any my type....in fact i was about to hit one over the head when i first found out and he said "i know what your going through i just want to be your friend", i said "ok", then of course he tried to take my situation and use it to get in my pants (which didnt work)....but yea...no luck hehehe


After saturdays night date im going through the "to call or wait for him to call me" bit lol....i never know what to do in that respect :-O GRRRRR.....

Well, he could be going through the "do I call or not" thing too so maybe you should just call him.
