Unprotected Sex , Two Hiv Pos. Guys Posted: 05-18-04 02:07am
Please help me. I met a guy who, like me
is hiv positive, he wants to have
unprotected sex. I am healthy and on
medication. He claims to be healthy but
is not on medication. This involves anal
sex, me being the recipient (bottom). Is
this a very dangerous act? Would it be
safer if he pulled out before ejaculation?

I guess there is always the possibility
that something will go wrong but I haven't
had a problem with recieving anal sex. I
suppose you could get an infection. Have
him pull out if it makes you feel better,
but I am not sure what this has to do with
hiv???

althought you have a point, you needn't

I don't really know all that much about
aids. But my first thought when I read
your post is "if you both have it, why do
you have to be careful?" I dunno, I may be
stupid for not knowing anything...

I dont know much about hiv either but I am
wondering too why if you both have it
would you be concerned with being careful?
I mean you both already have it as it is
so its not like one of you would catch it
from the other..And as for you tbeck this
person came here for advice not for nasty
comments you could have been a bit more
nicer in your response.. And yes
protection is a must and should always be
used but when you said you people are
spreading a incurable disease you dont
just get hiv from sex there are other
ways..

I apologize I didnt mean you people as in
you gay people, I just meant the two of
you no matter what your sexual preference
is. I am just amazed that you even need
to ask that question having hiv yourself.

With you both having it, I would say, what
the hay, but since you are taking care of
yourself, I would suggest using
protection. There is a possibility that
maybe he could give you a stronger, more
uncurable string of it, and you wouldn't
want that. Just be careful.

Thank You Jennifer Posted: 05-19-04 05:41am
I appreciate(most) everyones input, what
was I thinking? I feel I cannot
afford to contract a more severe strain of
this devastating virus. For this reason I
will never practice unprotected sex. As
for tbeck 12, I accept your apology but
want you to know that there is alot more
scary stuff out there than two infected
guys who want to keep it among
themselves.
We (two of us) discussed this practice
specifically not to infect one who is not
hiv positive. We have no desire to harm
anyone.
Thanks to all, dom

Dom, I feel bad for jumping on your back.
I'm sorry. Please take care of yourself.
People who engage in unprotected sex risk
infecting themselves and others. By not
practicing safe sex, they are at greater
risk of being infected with multiple
strains and causing progression to
disease. Unprotected sex puts individuals
at risk of not only contracting hiv but of
being resistance to all the drugs the
infected individual has taken.
The heterosexual community is not
practicing safe sex, which is evident in
the statistics of hiv infection amongst
heterosexuals worldwide. Studies show
that anal sex is common throughout the
world and in some countries 60% of adults
practice anal sex. Women in the united
states are reported to be seven times more
likely to engage in unprotected anal sex,
than men having sex with men. Condom
usage is lower for heterosexual anal sex
compared to vaginal sex. Many men who
have sex with men do not define themselves
as gay. More and more women are being
infected with hiv through sexual
intercourse with their male partner,
unaware their partner is bisexual! In
heterosexual relationships, infidelity is
also responsible for increases in hiv
infection among women.
With antiretroviral therapies and fewer
deaths associated with these treatments,
many gay people have discontinued safe sex
practices. Hiv infection is not disclosed
to partners and anal sex without a condom
is increasing at alarming rates. So now
hiv infection is on the rise again amongst
gay people.
People think because we have
antiretroviral therapies there is no need
to practice safe sex or worry. There is
no guarantee these medications will work
on everyone! One out of every 10
europeans newly infected with hiv has a
drug-resistant strain of the virus
according to a study released at the 2003
international aids society’s 2nd
conference, on hiv pathogenesis and
treatment, held in paris. Multiple sex
partners mean multiple infections can
occur with the likelihood of infection
with more than one hiv strain. This
places an individual in greater danger of
illness and or death as well as any person
they infect. Some strains of hiv have
been shown to cause illness and death
rapidly regardless of immune status. The
world health organization (who) has
estimated 170 million people worldwide are
infected with hepatitis c. Being infected
with hiv may also include being infected
with hepatitis c along with other sexually
transmitted diseases such as; syphilis,
gonorrhea, chlamydia, human papilloma
virus (hpv), herpes simplex virus (hsv),
and hepatitis a, b, and/or c.
Even though the numbers of aids cases in
poorer regions are growing rapidly, the
problem with hiv is worldwide; people
everywhere need to be aware they are at
risk of infection if they have unprotected
sex!
This is the kind of information that every
single person needs to be aware of if we
are to stop the spread of hiv!
