Here is a professional talking about it.... Let's not stigmatize sex just because we have HIV. Remember we are not dead and our bodies do need sex. Embrace your HIV and live again.....👍😘

Good morning Julie as far as your condom is concerned to be quite honest with you a lot of gay men in the HIV community bareback. That means they do not use condoms. Some people may disagree with me here because they are not sexually active but on all those gay websites where they hook up believe you me they are barebacking and have been doing it for some time since PREP was released. It's just the way it is. I don't agree or disagree.
it's just what they do..
since U=U , a lot of gay men believe they cannot be infected especially if they are on PREP and their positive partners are undetectable.

This is a very simple matter. We are not judging peoples choices. Unprotected sex with a one to one partner is completely safe. However if you choose to have unprotected sex on a casual basis there are numerous additional illnesses you can acquire. Many gay men choose the bareback casual pathway. That is for them to decide, if they wish to take the risks involved.

Quite right @A myHIVteam Member There are many other STI's you can catch, and its the hassle of getting nunerous sexual health check ups that puts me off casual sex. In addition to this, Doxy PeP is not completely effective at preventing STI's.

I agree with you Evan. This bug is to tricky and deadly.

I’ve had all the OI’s and i wouldn’t want to go through that again.

My husband RIP he was negative, we were together 21 years. He tested every year at pride San Diego. He was negative every time.

At first we always condoms but when I became undetectable he wanted BB but I always made sure to pull it out in time. That, I didn’t like but I was too nervous to finish any other way.

I know for a fact he was negative so it was cool if he finished where he wanted to.

I hope that wasn’t TMI.

But it’s the topic of the conversation.
