Both were careless tbh
You don't have sex with somebody without using protection df is wrong with you..
The man needs to be locked up,knowing he had Hiv and did not tell the boy..
The person has the right to know,you're putting their life in danger..
No, but he'll be taking several nasty pills daily for the rest of his life (which is likely to be shortened because of this), not to mention the moral damage.
I'm sorry, but at the age of 15, you should have knowledge on sex before you participate in it. Not saying the kid deserves it, but it's completely ludicrous to not give fault to someone who is capable of making his or her own decisions. This guy is sick, no doubt about it. But you have to take responsibility for yourself. He's not a baby. He's a high school teen.
I'm just confused at the people acting like thee 15 year old should take no responsibility. The ONLY reason that kid is in this position is because HE chose to download Grindr, actively search for a hookup, and have unprotected sex. It sucks that the guy he found ended up being unclean filth, but he can't act like he's just a victim. This is NOT about blaming the victim—this is about taking responsibility for our actions. The fact is, this isn't the case of some kid walking down a street, getting grabbed by a man and pulled into an alley, raped without a condom, and left with HIV. Making the kid out to be 100% the victim implies what I just described is what happened, and that is FAR from it.
And I'm not here for the way some of you are playing 15 year olds. Fifteen year olds are sophomores and juniors in high school. They are not stupid. Don't even try to blame it on the lack of gay sex education in schools because anyone with a brain knows that if having unprotected sex with a girl can cause the transmission of STDs, then having unprotected sex with a man can cause the same thing. Basic sex ed starts in middle school in America. Stranger danger starts before elementary school. These are core principles that all students know. And if you didn't know that, then it is your responsibiltity to do just a few minutes of research. It is after all your body, you have responsibility over it. If you're grown enough to desire sex strongly enough to download Grindr, then you're grown enough to know what you're getting yourself into.
This child is a victim. But he is not without any blame. Highlighting his faults is NOT wrong. In fact, highlighting his faults will only let other young kids know that that sort of behavior is a) not acceptable and b) can yield these results.
my ex has HIV because he had unprotected sex with random guys at an early age of 15. he knew what he was doing and education and advice were available, but he didn't know better. he just did what he wanted to do at that time. satisfy the desire. this thread is sad. this reality is sad. i'm gay and never at all had sex or even think of having sex with random people. but im part of a minority. the world of gay hook ups is just sad.
Agreed. Disgusting. Surfing Grindr at age 15 - THEN allowing a RANDOM man to come into your home and have sex with you....they both should have KNOWN better. Just disgusting. Filth.
This **** scares me. I mean if a human-being is capable of this and I am a human-being... dya get my drift? I hate that I am associated with some of these people. I just hate that people can be so easily careless etc. etc.
