"When did the exchange of body fluids become o.k during the last 20 years?
Some folks like the bareback thing as well, but would you actually do it ?"
barebacking is becoming fashionable again because people think hiv it's not a life threatening disease anymore, it seems
probably newly hiv infected people will never get into full blow aids
but it's not just a matter of taking a pill, there are many pills, you have to stick to them and they're very toxic and they make you sick every day for all the rest of your life
I'm writing from London UK and I'm gay and barebacking with random partners is not a taboo, they also use "recreative " drugs and chems that increase the chances of infections, the amount of hiv+ is very big and many of them are not even aware about their status.
The number of infections has been growing quickly in the recent years.
...and if you consider that after all, hiv is a weak virus not so easy to catch up (basically anal receptive sex), it's all saying...
if you go to most world wide famous UK gay website in the cruising chat rooms the vast majority of the public messages are hook up messages for bareback and eventually drugs & chems, if you ask them about their status usually they will tell you they're hiv+ (at least they're frank!)
unfortunately when you go to a GUM clinic for gay people, you'll find booklets suggesting people with a problem of addiction to drugs or lonely guys to look for friends in that website!(I hope that's because those booklets are years years old)
Post scriptum:
It's worth to mention since I always attract stupid people and stupid people's mother is always pregnant, that:
1. I'm hiv- and I don't have any problem with eventual hiv+ partners as long as:
- I know they're positive
- they're not infectious (->they're either healthy positives or in treatment)
- they take care of me (->they don't put me at risk, they are careful, no sperm in eyes, mouth etc, no blood, etc etc)
I always do safer sex with everyone.
2. I don't do drugs and I support drug legalization.
