I don't see a real difference when both can transmit the virus.


The difference is literally life and death. A person who is HIV+ can live a long and healthy life. A person who as AIDS has a statistically shorter life span.

I wonder why we assume every man doing unprotected gay porn has AIDS, but those straight actors can bareback all they want and we dont even think about it

I beg to differ on your statement...I was diagnosed with full blown AIDS with a T-cell count of 50.....that was 20 years ago....today my T-cell count floats between 218 and 300..viral load in undetectable.....:wink:

Besides a person can NOT transmit AIDS to another person. Only the HIV virus get transmitted.

There are always statistical outliers- the fact remains that once someone is diagnosed with AIDS, they generally lead a shorter lifespan

Yep, time for you to get more educated. Neither HIV nor AIDS transmit the virus. HIV is the virus; body fluids transmit it.

To the OP's question, and in sum:

Seems Antonio retired in 2009, then returned in 2010:
Antonio Biaggi Quits Skin Biz, Closes Castro Shop | The Adams Report by JC Adams
Antonio Biaggi | gay porn blog - Queer Porn Nation

We don't know if he is HIV+ so we shouldn't assume that he is or isn't (even though I assumed he was in an earlier post).

It is very unlikely he has AIDS. (Note: having a diagnosis of AIDS is not the same as being HIV positive. These are very different diagnoses and are not merely semantic nitpicking.)

Personally, I'm never going to normalize HIV any more than I would herpes, venereal warts or alcoholism. These are complications that I want to avoid in this lifetime.

It means "treat it like it's no big deal." Just because you don't die instantly from it anymore doesn't mean it's not still a bad thing to catch it. Frankly the idea that too many people have these days that they don't need to worry about having safe sex because if they catch HIV they'll "just go on the drugs" is just terrifying.

Yes, it's great that HIV+ positive people can still live full lives and not die in their 30s anymore. But it does mean that your life is forever changed. It affects every aspect of your life - health, finances, relationships, employment, everything - and to pretend it doesn't just to maintain a happy front is a lie.

First, I did not mean to intimate that HIV was not a big deal- I only meant to say its not nearly as big of a deal as AIDS is. I've been HIV+ for over 6 years now, and am the healthiest I've ever been- in fantastic shape. HIV is no longer a death sentence if you take care of yourself. You seem to want to stigmatize HIV+ people and make them like lepers.

It never ceases to amaze me that people assume just because you bareback means you will be HIV+. Two people who are HIV- can fuck till the cows come home and not become +. do some reasearch guys!

I think part of the issue here is a lack of trust between partners. If you just met them for a one night stand, it's understandable. In the porn industry though, it's your job. Very straight forward, even if the incubation period is 3-6 months.

Does that mean a lot of people shun you when they find you your HIV+? What changes has it made in your life? Is it expensive?

I hope you don't mind me asking personal questions, but I've never consciously met some with HIV OR AIDS. It's not a topic typically considered in the gay community circles I've found myself to have access to...I think we as a community should talk openly about it more. I don't know nearly as much about it as I would like to. Especially things you can't learn from a textbook, you know what I mean?

What kind of side effects do you / have you experienced with the medications you take?

Haha, I somehow managed to miss the second page of response...are there multiple medications, or just one? They should really have workshops or something on this stuff for the general public. I mean, it's just as common in straight people as it is gay people. WE NO LONGER LIVE IN THE 80'S PEOPLE!! This also suggests that straight people have some amount of sex with gay people, right? HAHAHAHAHA If that's true, wouldn't that be so funny?

I'm not sure about that, but I do know that the #1 sexual act for transmitting AIDS is anal sex. There are some anatomical reasons, but the general idea is that the vagina is made accommodate by stretching and lubricating the penis and the anus is really just designed for shitting. Both parties may be enjoying anal sex and moaning in ecstasy, but the penis and anal wall are both experiencing cutting/tearing at the microscopic level and blood is being shared. Less blood is shared during penis and vaginal wall contact, but when if your trying to prevent HIV you don't want to have unprotected sex with an HIV infected vagina.

Going back to the original topic...don't you think porn models would insist on knowing their partner's status, whether top or bottom, before they fuck on camera? I doubt any model, unless he was already HIV+ (and there are studios that match poz guys together, but don't publicize it),would agree to bareback fuck unless he knew that his partner was also negative. Why do gay men still bareback? If both top and bottom are undetectable, this risk is lessened substantially. And there are also neg tops that will fuck any bottom raw and take the risk...this I don't understand.

So I came across this message thread on accident via google. Seriously guys? Is this thread really appropriate or any of your business? I still can't get over the fact that each of you have nothing better to do with your boring lives but can just sit here and wonder about someone else's private life. And possibly spread damaging information through your ignorance. Wake up guys. Get a clue. I'm still in fucking shock that a thread like this was even created. Maybe you'll rethink what you have written when I send this thread to my buddy Antonio. You better pray legal action is not taken for slander. THINK before you write such nonsense. If you have any fucking brains.
