Rod Daily tweets hes HIV Postitive

I think that rule should apply for all Tyler.... and anyone who goes to an escort and has bareback with them should realise that if the escort offers that, then they are probably positive - whether they know it or not. It's an expensive game of Russian roulette.

Thats what I was getting at Tyler. My point is they should.

Ah ok but immaterial.
I'm in the UK where testing is free, even if you go get tested 4 times a day!!!
The point is that people (civilians) generally don't bother getting tested at all.
That's why I assume they all have AIDS and I act accordingly.

And seat belts don't work either, if people don't wear them.

@bluesoul: Say tommy got tested two weeks after he had sex and was negative for STD's. He goes six months between encounters. Because it was less frequent is he still not potentially dangerous to his second partner? Of course he is, It generally takes more than 14 days for HIV to show up in a test. THats why I am advocating that people take advantage of whats available to get tested.

As for the analogy, I don't really follow. It seems that it would correspond better to wearing a condom every time a person has sex, not whether some should get tested regularly. #IMO

i don't think you're understanding what i'm saying.

This is scary I didn't know this about the gay industry.

I think we should all have the same universal testing, but when I suggested that this is what I was informed with.

Crazy story Kelly.

Since Alot of Gay performers work in the TS niche, wouldn't that bring the risk up?

Apparently Not.

Yep, totally.

Any time some caller asks for BB, I say:
"Sure, but I only have BB anal sex with clients who have done BB Anal with other escorts"
--"Ok that's fine"
"And you'll have to sign an insurance waver, coz the last 8 clients who had BB with me all caught AIDS*
and died and this is to prevent your next of kin suing either me or my insurance company after you die too."
--"You haven't really got AIDS?"
"No but there's an 87%** likelihood that you Have, ...bye"
and add them to my BLOCKED LIST.
I would hope this will prompt them to alter their sexual behaviour and go get tested, but who knows....
I then stop thinking about them and their current & future partners
but in hindsight it's dreadfully sad.


*You don't catch AIDS, rather you get infected with HIV which {without continuous treatment of PEP meds, for life} weakens the immune system and you die from secondary infections, but I don't think these callers appreciate the distinction, nor care...

**Made up stat.
A huge range of factors determine % likelihood of transmission,
from whether the other person is infected or not (obviously) through to factors which apply if they are HIV+:
Like the HIV+ persons viral load, Anal or vaginal sex, Whether the HIV+ person is penetrating or penetrated, In the case of HIV+ men and trans whether they are circumcised or not, Whether there was any bleeding or tears (even microscopic ones) If the immune system of the other person is compromised by another infection such as even a bad cold, and so on.

I noticed an earlier post which talks about studios for HIV+ performers
with presumably the view that as everyone is HIV+ there is no risk from
BB performances.

There are huge risks.
Firstly because there are different strands of HIV. So if an HIV+ person
gets infected with another strand, this will necessitate a change in PEP meds.
This usually involves a much bigger cocktail of PEP meds. For life.
And the drug effectiveness drops, the more complicated the HIV infection base is.
Also because BB sex can lead to transmission of other STI's like syphilis and gonorrhoea.
Any further infection on top of HIV, compromises the immune system
and reduces the effectiveness of the anti viral drugs which were
initially keeping the original HIV infection in check.

I've got no medical training (I had to spell-check the STI words!!!)
and all my thoughts on this thread are from things I've read
and numerous discussions with the medical staff in my GUM clinic.
It's all so complicated.
At least the decision process and physical action of using condoms is a lot easier,
or my head would explode!
