In fact you alluded to diseases such hep are more contagious....which is true.
But still, that doesn't mean folks should take some kinda carefree aproach to knowingly sleeping with HIV infected partners condom or otherwise.
No, I haven't. I referred to being honest about your HIV status with partners or potential partners. I think there's a lot of shame and denial going on and it's leading to the spread of the disease.Quote:

BTW, I would just like to add that there is a new and more virulent strain of HIV making the rounds. While the Pharma companies will do their best to make you think they've got the situation under control, they don't.
I'm currently in rewrites on a major feature film about AIDS, the transgendered community, and "tranny chasers". In my 15+ years dealing with the trans population, I have seen too much death and suffering and, of course, ignorance and denial and shame not just from the girls, but from the guys, as well.
And we're all guilty of it. Until transgendered people are fully accepted in society and given the same human rights and respect as men and women, the problem will continue.

whatsupwithat,
You implied here that the "electrical socket" analogy is somehow way off. Technically and statistically, you may be right....I guess *shrug*, but in terms of sentiments....ITS SPOT ON.
Sleeping with an HIV infected person, condom or no, is akin to askin for death as in "having a death wish".

The electrical socket analogy IS way off. You stick your finger in an electrical socket the odds are you're going to die. You have safe, protected sex with an HIV positive person, the odds of you getting sick and dying are not even close to 100%.Quote:

And, of course, people will tell you they have Hep, too, right?Quote:
