Would you have sex with a person male or female if they told you that before we "do it" ....I have to tell you that Im HIV+?

:wtf: Are you joking? And FYI, there's a HUGE difference between denying you a job because you're HIV+ and turning you down sex (or as a blood or organ donor) because you're HIV+.

What the hell does that mean? No, I don't think he's joking, jonb. It's a serious question and up until your enigmatic and weird response, the answers have been forthright and mature. No one was trying to equate discrimination at the workplace with rejection in the bedroom -- you invented that little scenario. The fact is that some well educated people (lawyers even!
make poor choices when it comes to sexual behavior. Different heads are talking in each circumstance. Preventing HIV-infection has nothing to do with well reasoned arguments against workplace discrimination: the two are apples and oranges.
'sheeeesh.
Anyway, back to the topic: yes, I've had sex with guys who I knew were poz. At those times, I was always careful. But I also sometimes stupidly had unprotected sex with guys whose status I did not know. I consider myself lucky that I have remained negative.
