I agree with TNJ. It helps to observe for awhile. Start off by liking contributions, check your alerts daily and be honest, but respectful. When you respond or decide to post, read through the responses to ensure you understand the topic.
But most importantly, welcome to LPSG. I hope you will be a long time contributor. You can develop some friends here that are empathetic and unfortunately, you will also run into some who are unkind. What you say reflects who you are.
And in your “real life”, please stay safe and remember HIV is still being spread around the world, so play safe and get on PrEP, if appropriate.
Welcome!!!
