transexuals and hiv

[carl essex]

in this months uk fhm there was a supplement about porn stars. there was an interview with a male porn star or a producer i cant remember which and he was saying the latest public craze is transexuals.
but many porn stars refuse to work with them because the majority of them are hiv+

is this true?????

[NYCe]

:shock:
Wow. That's just ignorant, I'm surprised they printed that but it is FHM

I wonder where some of these porn stars get their information from. There was one popular female porn star a few years back who said she wouldn't work with non-whites for the same reason.

[ABSOLUTE SHADE]

The shade is.....alot of the girls do have HIV and here go these CLIENTS...swallowing their cum..having raw sex!!!

The girls know which girls have HIV...but the client's don't.

Always practice safe sex!!! No matter how thirsty you are!

[SPOOKABLE_TRANNY]

condoms aren't always 100% safe either! They get what they're paying for! That's why they're tricks!

[LG]

The problem is that anal sex is so much riskier than vaginal and oral sex, especially for the receiver. It's all very scary. A lot of girls will claim they're clean but even if they did produce a valid certificate (which they don't) , the certificate is only 100% certain on the day the samples are taken.

That's why so far I've been afraid of being topped, even though I really want to try it. My ideal would be to meet a lovely tgirl that I could have a long term relationship with (along with O and A either way).

In any case I would never have sex with an escort (GG or TG) without the use of condoms. It kind of makes you think: why would she want to go bareback- is she not afraid of catching something- and if not, is that because she has already caught it?

As for the majority of tg porn stars being HIV+, I think its a load of bollocks. They are no more at risk than gay and female pornstars who receive anal sex. If anything, the porn industry (all genres and types) has been pretty disease free since the 80's with pornstars tested regularly and usually only performing with condoms (especially in US porn). However, I would imagine porn actors and actresses who escort (male, female and TG) are more likely to catch AIDS, and perhaps- just perhaps- it is true that a high percentage of t-girl stars work as escorts (higher, as a percentage than that of GG or male performer). That said, the instances of transexual porn performers catching or dying of HIV have been thankfully very low in recent years.

[Gus_gunn]

I read the same thing in FHM this month. I couldn't understand that either, I've seen more straight porn not using a condom than i have TG porn. Also, I can imagine the lifestyles of TG and GG pornstars being almost exactly the same, in fact TG's are more likely to be health conscious than GG stars. If there is any resaon why he wouldn't go with the TG stars its because he hasnt got the bottle.

[Danielle Foxxx]

This conversation always comes up on every discussion bord that I read...Me and Vicki just had a huge argument with some idiot that said its just a matter of time before we test positive due to the fact we do BB scenes...I was shocked and outraged that someone with very little knowledge would be even speaking at all.....But we understood his concern. Indeed it is a horrible disease and I am scared everyday that is why I protect myself with condoms, true they are not 100% safe and that is why I go to AIM health care in LA every 2 weeks for a fresh test, I have more respect for human life to be puting someone at risk if I did test positive one of these days....It is a very little chance for me because I do practice safe sex, but less of a chance for someone who has very little sex, the way for us to stop HIV from spreading is been proven through abstenence ( I can't spell for shit ) and the use of a condom, also to cut down on risky behavior. Altho Oral sex has also been proven to be very low risk due to the fact ( I heard 2 things ) either cum is not digestable or it is consumed rapidly by the stomach acids wich puts you at low risk, but a higher risk if you have cuts in your mouth...think of this...has anyone's gums ever bleed after brushing or flossing? I am sure alot of you do that hopefully...lol...
So....THANK THE LORD...and good safe sex practice I have escaped infection for so many years...If someone with a righ risk can...I am sure you all can as well....Just remember...If we all are safe and avaid infection eventually the life cycle will take care of this horrible disease, you don't just owe it to yourself but you owe it to all of us to make sure you are safe. I too know someone who is a workinggirl and who has HIV...she tells me stories of guys asking her to cum in their mouth and she does...NOw...This girl is no longer my friend...to me this is worst then pointing a loaded gun to someone's head and pulling the trigger, but some of these girls are out of resorces to make a living...so they will do anything for a few extra bucks. Make your choices in life as you would in any aspect in your life - choose wisely....Some of you have families, wives, children, you owe it to them as well.... I am glad to be going to school and to be following on the footsteps of girls such as Vicki, Joanna, and Gia Darling...these are the girls that us "smarter" girls aspire to be like... There is a light and we all should see it, don't let a 3 minute orgasm change a lifetime....RAP YOUR FUCKING COCK AND YOUR PARTNERS!!!

Kisses
Your friend Danielle

JUST DONT GET TOPPED WITHOUT A CONDOM!!
BOTTOM LINE :evil:

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Folks this is all based on assumption. Life is based on assumption. Medicine is based on assumption.

Someone should write FHM and ask this magazine where this gentleman got his research from-or has he persoanlly gathered current HIV test from ALLL transsexuals to make this statement which has no basis and is an irresponsible remark.

Like it or NOT, HIV AIDS is and will always remain a political and disease used to discriminate, insult, and scare people.

The sad fact is that most people get their source of HIV information from the news and do VERY little research to educate themselves on actual facts, current studies, and statistic.

Everyone is so terrified of AIDS yet everyone keeps on having sex.
Everyone is so terrified of AIDS yet very few people do little research on ACTUAL studies, fact findings, and on opposing views of doctors and scientist who DO NOT believe that HIV causes AIDS.

It's time that we stopped making some simplisctic assumptions, protect ourselves with knowledge, and realize that no medicine is ABSOLUTE.

For 20 years doctos prescribed estrogen to women to prevent breast cancer then it was realized that estrogens highly increase the risks of breast cancer. I state this because scine makes mistakes- science is based on theories and hypothesis- trial and error. NO MEDICINE IS ABSOLUTE.

In my business I have met many highly respected researchers and doctors who have given me their different opinions on HIV, which proves to me that there are really no definate answers.

WE are all at risk for STDS so use condoms!!!!!

And by the way here are some websites that open some questions up for HIV

one is Nobel Prize Winner for Chemistry- Dr. Peter Duesberg who was the first man to islolate the cancer gene
www.duesberg.com

He DOESNT believe HIV causes AIDS

also check out

www.aliveandwell.org
for the same theories

and of course

www.aids.org

for a more conventional view of the hypothesis

So read up and YOU make your own decsions. Your Body, your life.

[steeveX]

i would b careful to consider duesberg a reliable source regarding aids/hiv.

second: every sexually active person can catch the bug if there is blood, semen, vaginal fluids involved. anal sex is risky for BOTH participants, not only ejaculating into the rectum - anal sex usually damages skin of the penis also. oral sex is much less risky than both vaginal and especially anal sex, but not completely out of question. all i can say is: use a condom AND water based lubricants. in fact its clever if u use a caondom ALWAYS when havin anal sex. the rectal area is one of the places of the human body where there is the highest concentration of germs and bacteria no mater if you use an enema and think your ass is clean. you neednt be infected with hiv, but chances are u get other infections from the bacteria/germs that are already there.

especially in the gay community barebacking seems to get out of hand. its incredibly stupid. even if you are already infected and just have sex with other infected people you can worsen the situation in catching different versions of the virus, more difficult to treat. on the one hand gay people want gay marriage and other show their irresponsability in having promiscuous bareback sex. i dnt understand that - putting a condom on your dick seems to much of work but before that you have to undress etc. -reminds me of people carrying coke cans to a park, drink it and throw away the can on the spot altho its empty and only one tenth of the original weight.

improved treatment methods for aids execerbate the problem. people can live with the virus and dont have to die no more in many cases - but treatment is expensive and there is serious side effects.

best thing is and always will be: play it safe.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

While I respect your opinions-

I disagree with Duesberg being not reliable on HIV/AIDS
Duesberg is a brilliant scientist and him and Robert Gallo
who STOLE the hiv=aids hypotheses from Luc Montagier were
close until they split about their opinions about HIV

Duesberg raises many unanswered questions about the virus
and while Montagier has SUBSTANTIALLY changed his views with research about HIV/AIDS- Gallo remains entrenched with the same views
refusing to acknowledge substantial research changes Montagier has made- hmm too much drug copany money maybe for Gallo?

I am not here to agree with either- I am here to raise questions and bring different view points. The fact is that there are MANY unsanwered questions about HIV and even though the media and many docots would like to make you believe we know so much we really don't-

HIV is a mystery because it is a retro virus yet it does not act like any retro virus known-its is a paradox-

EX:
Hiv is supposed to kill tcells in the body- yet even Gallo admiited that in clinicl trials if you put healthy TCells in a petri dish and HIV over t hem- the TCells in the petri dish remain unharmed.

Why? We just do not know.

Being in the sex business I educate myself as much as I can about all STD's. I can't live by assumption and I open myself to all ideas and facts.
Not just media propoganda and politics.

[Gus_gunn]

whatever your stance on the HIV/AIDS link fence you stand. The fact remains that if you have HIV there is a higher chance of contracting/developing AIDS.

I was a biochemist for two years and i have seen lots of things in a petri dish, that while in the body there is no dynamic reaction in front of you.

This link is unequivocal, as western africa has the highest proportion of HIV and AIDS sufferers, and the few who appear resistant to it seem resistant to both.

I fully agree with Alannah on the role of the drug companies in eradicating this vile disease. Anybody who derives a living from peoples suffering without donating money to eradicate the disease, should be fucked a burned plain and simple

Theories remain about about why Tcells aren't attacked by the HIV virus, my personal opinion is that retro viruses, because of their complex make up, cannot manoeuvre there way around in the dish. Another theory could also be that the Tcells are destroyed by a process and not directly from the virus.[/code]

[GroobySteven]

It's likely that researcher got his facts from Brazilian porn where I know a high amount of the transsexuals are HIV+. As something like 90% of TS porn comes from Brazil, he's taken some license in attributing it to all TS's. I wouldn't take anything FHM says as gospel anyway, you might as well be reading Viz!
I'm one of the people who advocate condoms in videos. I've had lengthy discussions with other people in the industry who claim that because hetero videos don't use condoms, that TS productions should follow suit. It seems more like they're unhappy at not having the same rights as hetero videos rather than what I feel, should be the norm over all videos - covered sex.
I don't believe the testing is good enough (there is nothing to stop someone having un-protected sex in-between testing and performing), I don't believe in the honesty of people and I believe that as an industry we should set an example to people to show that vaginal and anal sex with condoms is normal. Not only for HIV but for other STD's. It might lower the eroticness of some releases but if it is stopping people endangering themselves and each other then it's a good thing and is unlikely to lower the profits of the industry all that much.
That "idiot" claiming that it's only a matter of time before you catch something has a point, even if it's a million : one chance, somebody has to hit the unlucky million.

second: every sexually active person can catch the bug if there is blood, semen, vaginal fluids involved.
There is a small population of people that virtually imune to AIDS.

http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,66198,00.html


Genetic resistance to AIDS works in different ways and appears in different ethnic groups. The most powerful form of resistance, caused by a genetic defect, is limited to people with European or Central Asian heritage. An estimated 1 percent of people descended from Northern Europeans are virtually immune to AIDS infection, with Swedes the most likely to be protected.
It would be nice if you were in that 1% and knew it, it would be a lot less to worry about. But still you would have to worry about all the other stuff out there.

[steeveX]

miraculously and thankfully that is true for every disease it seems. a small number of people survive any exposure to viruses/bacteria/germs etc. -that goes with any plague. nevertheless chances are skyhigh you are among the 99 percent that are not immune

[AllanahStarrNYC]

I think it is also important to remember that HIV is the PROBABLE cause of AIDS-
There is no proof that if you have HIV you WILL DEFINATELY develop AIDS.

That is the missing link in the HIV=AIDS hypothesis...
and it is my personal opinion that most people in AFRICA are dying from poor nutrition, hygene, and unclean water.

AND don't think the FDA and drug companies are on your side-
THEY ARE OUT TO MAKE A PROFIT.

It is well known that the FDA marred the first AZT trials and falsified documents to put the drug out ASAP. AZT was orginnally used in the 60's to treat cancer and prove inffective. The irony is that AZT itself kills the immune system, kills the bone marrow, and causes lukemia. AZT was given in such high doses that leading toxicologist now believe that alot of the early AIDS deaths were not from AIDS but from a syndrome called chemical AIDS caused by large amounts of AZT.

AIDS was first believed and is still believed by some doctors and scientist as a behavioral deisease. There are people who have died of the combination of systems associated with AIDS who have not been HIV positive.

Lets understand this. NO ONE DIES FROM AIDS-You die from the combination of the symtoms. This is where I find fault and issue with the medical community. There is no GENERAL world wide concensus of when exactly a person develops AIDS. For instance, the definition of the TCEll count for AIDS in the USA is much different than in Canada.
Here is another issue-
If you have diareah alone you just have diareah-
If you have diareah and are HIV positive a doctor might say you have AIDS

and that goes for the 26 "suggested" AIDS related complications that "normal" people who do not have HIV develop all the time.

[Gus_gunn]

A lot of people in africa are dying of famine, but not most. This is certainly the case in eastern africa which is extremely arid. However, the western africa is plagued by war and the use of rape as a means of controlling the female population (the men having been executed) is a catalyst for the the epidemic of the AIDS virus. The other major factor being the Catholic church which uses the futility of many of the indiginous populations faith in God to press the point: DO NOT USE CONTRACEPTION. I'm pretty sure when this rule was derived from the good book, they did not count on a killer retro virus being rife.

In the north, which is predominantly Muslim, there is poverty but not famine.

The south has a problem with ethnic cleansing, both white and black.

However, the main threat to ALL people in the dark continent is HIV and AIDS.

[ONEWORLD]

The girls know which girls have HIV...but the client's don't.

YESSSSSS, IF THOSE GUYS ONLY KNEW...

BOY.

It would certainly appear that this particular opinion is sadly changing.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

here we go again vicki richter lol



i think from now on i will stop bringing up different view points on this subject-

since some people on this board-SOME- are inclined to think that becuase i have questions and research other ideas- i am crazy

if u read the post and examine the links i made- i posted two aids dissident websites and one traditonal aids website. what i am. and always advocate is the use of condoms to minimize the risk of stds. i think it's valid to question things, and not always believe the status quo.

geez . i just thought i was a thinker

sad story in any case-

hopefully someday we will have a clear answer to the hiv, aids situation.
until then

i will keep my boca shut.

[GroobySteven]

i will keep my boca shut.


How you going to make any money?

Sorry - couldn't help it!

[alfredog]

For obvious reasons, I wish the girls who are HIV postive would either come forward or retire from any activity involving sex with virtual strangers-- condom or no condom.

The girls who know their friends and colleagues are positive yet not telling their clients should at least try to convince them either not to work or to let people know their status up front.

I understand that no one is about to go naming names on this board, but--damn--there's at least one girl I'd like to know is in the clear, for my own peace of mind. (Starts with a "B")

DIRTY, DIRTY ONE!

IM JUST GONNA HAVE TO PUT IT IN YOUR SAMANTHAT JANUS NEXT TIME I SEE YOU!

i've been learning my cockney slang , hehe

[Vicki Richter]

Oh so now I am starting shit if I even debate you or bring up alternate facts? Oh I got it now.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

im not interested in a debate with you darling

please just do me favor if you can of ignoring me if possible

thanks.

not being shady- just not interested.

[Vicki Richter]

That's shady. I guess if I always lost debates I would give up too.

[tubgirl]

Oh so now I am starting shit if I even debate you or bring up alternate facts? Oh I got it now.

yes, how dare you try to bring up another way of thinking?

:roll:

[AllanahStarrNYC]

yes darling u win. you won congratulations.

here is your cookie, tiara, bouquet. etc.

please find someone else to debate and argue with as i am not interested.

thank you again vicki for bwing so concerned with my views.

and big mushy sweet kiss for you and good luck on your debate.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

ps. from now on i'll sew a big l like laverne on my shirts to stand for loser

lol , i guess the sincerity of my public apology fell apart lol



kisses

[Vicki Richter]

Disagreeing with someone has nothing to do with the public apology I made earlier. I didn't write the Yahoo article. I just saw it last night and it fit into a long standing discussion here which MANY people have been involved in. I would have attached it to any thread where someone was arguing the opposite.

*removed*: I read that article you posted
*removed*: and the response
vickicali: yeah real nice huh
*removed*: I think if anyone else but you had posted it
vickicali: she
vickicali: she is clueless
*removed*: she would have been more receptive
*removed*: but she has a kill the messenger thing with you
*removed*: I know
*removed*: and that case sure seems to disprove that theory
vickicali: yep
*removed*: but you read how the mom still refuses to accept it
*removed*: puts all her energy into denial
*removed*: instead of dealing with it
*removed*: and her child is dead because of that
*removed*: tragic and needless

kissesAllanah, we really do need you in the United Nations (assuming we ever get another prez who is not a babbling idiot)...your diplomacy and gracious manners (not to mention your sex appeal and political outlook) are just what we need...and then you could hire me as your personal chef...or whatever :twisted:

[AllanahStarrNYC]

what kind of food can u cook

if u make me a mean indian dish i might have to marry u

[Vicki Richter]

Yes I think it is very likely that the people would vote that way. The market for transsexual prostitute politicians is very high I hear.

[tsarielblue]

WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO TEAR EACH OTHER DOWN????
WHEN WE HAVE IMMATURE LAMES CALLING US MEN AND WHORES? WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER AS SISTERS. THERES ENOUGH ROOM IN THIS UNIVERSE FOR US ALL. :wink:

[Vicki Richter]

Who is tearing who down here? Maybe I missed it. Should I get defensive?

[chefmike]

what kind of food can u cook

if u make me a mean indian dish i might have to marry uI would have to say that Italian, Southwestern, and Cajun\Creole are some of my favorite mainstays...but being a man who loves the art of saute and sauces, I am always trying new things...and now I certainly have a reason to play with Indian cuisine...among other things...

[BlackAdder]

Before I switched to business management, I major/minored in CJ and biology.....I can say that ive never read any case on AIDS where the person in question DIDNT have HIV first.....And that speaks volumes in my mind...quack scientists or not.

If you cant believe that award winning scientists can it wrong sometimes, well then Id like to tell you a little bit about Newton and Einstein:)

VOTE FOR ME

AND YOU'LL GET A BLOWJOB WITH EVERY VOTE!

ok- i'll have to come up with a better slogan than that

i'm still waiting to be ignored by vicki- but im not fortunate enough i guess.

[Vicki Richter]

Did you guys hear something?

[aeonflux1964]

I always use condoms when I with someone, so that takes care of HIV. My question is how do you all deal with the risk of catching herpes which is much easier to catch and a lifetime sentence. I'm married and this is not something I want to explain.

[Vicki Richter]

I think your condom approach would work both ways right?

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Some Herpes Precautions....

Laboratory studies have shown that the herpes virus does not pass through latex condoms. When properly used, such condoms are likely to reduce your risk of spreading or getting herpes.
But even the best condoms don't guarantee safety. Sometimes herpes sores occur in places not covered by a condom. In these cases, the condom is of little help, if any. In fact, condoms and foams should not be relied upon when herpes sores or symptoms are present.

Some contraceptive foams contain ingredients (such as nonoxynol-9) that kill the herpes virus and other STDs in test tubes. They are best used along with condoms, not in place of condoms.

What else can I do after diagnosis?

Many people feel panicked or depressed when they have herpes. Partly as a result of these feelings, the first few outbreaks can cause a great deal of stress. It may be important, therefore, to take additional steps.


First, get the information you need so you aren't worrying unnecessarily. Understanding herpes gives you a positive way to deal with your concerns. Second, seek emotional support when you need it. Keeping your feelings to yourself may do more harm than good.

What precautions can I take?

Certain basic principles about reducing risk apply equally to herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs):


You can eliminate your risk of getting herpes by not having sex with anyone (abstinence) or by having sex with a non-infected partner who has sex only with you (mutual monogamy).

If you are not sure that you and your partner are free from infection, use protection during sex. Latex condoms ( rubbers), used properly from start to finish for each sexual encounter, can be useful protection.

Spermicidal foams and jellies may offer additional protection.
