I believe it. The rise in bareback **** is contributing, too. It's encouraging these young cats to be wild and that using HIV meds will keep them safe.
even if you can leave a long life with HIV nowadays i still would never want to deal with the stigma of having it, just being honest. the disease scares me so much, i do all i can to avoid it and even when i take all the precautions i still get paranoid..
Lol. The only good part about this is that more gay men are getting tested and now know their status. The bigger picture is that there are way too many people of the community with the disease. The better statistic would be how many people who are tested are not HIV positive and those that are are being treated properly and not passing the disease around. The fact that we have 13 year olds having unprotected sex makes this statistic even more horrific.
Keep in mind this is "HIV diagnoses". Maybe now just more young gay men are taking the test (hence the increase in the diagnoses). Which is actually a good thing.
This is what I was thinking.
However, we as a community have got to do better. Condoms are so cheap and accessible nowadays it's ridiculous that people refuse to use them.
Finally someone said it I read the first page only without posting and was shocked nobody knew what that word meant
Every major gay event has free HIV testing. They're putting out serious anti-viral drugs (like PrEP with Mr. Friendly to help promote it). HIV testing and knowledge is easily the best it's ever been (granted, that's not saying much).
Sis, that is actually very rare. You generally have to have open sores or wounds in your mouth to contract HIV from a blowjob. Almost all HIV cases stem from anal sex, either from improper condom usage or no condom usage.
Monogamy is the way to go! A lot of these diagnostics come from couples in open relationships. That's how it is in Austin TX anyways! Which is why I have made it a goal to get the city of Austin out of my boyfriends head!
This is why I only go as far as a handjob. I'd much rather hire a male escort that offers muscle worship, handjobs and massages as well as companionship and let's me touch his body then meet a random person at the club that only wants to suck and ****.
