GRAMTICAL ERRORS. Idk why I'm complaining. I make identical mistakes all the time. Also, I thought std's were a bigger problem in straight relationships. I'm not sure. Anyway, religion is a stupid reason to be discrimitory.

And if straight relationships are affected more by STD's, then I'm more at risk than any of you.

In most of the world, AIDS is primarily a heterosexual issue. In Western Europe and North America, it is disproportionately a homosexual issue. At least in the USA, though, the largest segment of new HIV cases are among racial and ethnic minorities, particularly the female partners of HIV+ men, who feel culturally pressured not to insist their men wear condoms.

HIV does not discriminate. It will gladly infect gays and straights, women and men, all races/colours/religions/regions/incomes, even people of all ages. The year I worked as a hospital chaplain (back in the late 1980s), at one time, on the same floor, I had a mother, daughter, and granddaughter present as inpatients, all HIV+ (if not full-blown AIDS).

HIV is, these days, primarily transmitted:
(1) by unprotected sex with an HIV+ person;
(2) by sharing needles with an HIV+ person;
(3) being born to an HIV+ mother or through a baby's drinking the milk from an HIV+ mother.

The good news is that HIV is largely preventable!
(1) ALWAYS wear a condom for sex, gay or straight, and use a dental dam for oral contact with the vagina or anus. (A sheet of plastic wrap will do just fine, too.)
(2) If you shoot up drugs, never share needles. If you are unsure whether a needle has been used before, clean it with a chlorine solution BEFORE you use it.
(3) If you are pregnant or might be pregnant, get tested for HIV. If you are HIV+, your doctor will put you on drugs for HIV that will probably prevent your baby from being born with HIV. HIV+ women should NEVER breast feed.

There are less-common ways of getting infected, such as blood brother rituals or if you are a surgeon dealing with internal bodily fluids. HIV spreads through contact with contaminated bodily fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and cerebro-spinal fluid. It is NOT spread through sweat, tears, saliva, sneezes, or casual contact. Nowadays, all blood is tested when it is donated, so you will not get it through a blood transfusion. Likewise, all organs are tested, too, so you will not get it through an organ transplant.

If you are not in a monogamous relationship where both of you are HIV-, but you are sexually active, regularly get tested for HIV.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a way for people who do not have HIV but who are at substantial risk of getting it to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill every day. The pill (brand name Truvada) contains two medicines (tenofovir and emtricitabine) that are used in combination with other medicines to treat HIV. So if you do not use a condom 100% of the time, sometimes share needles with persons about whom you do not know their HIV status, or if you are a prostitute or have a large number of sex partners, you should seriously consider PrEP. PrEP is not a license to have unprotected sex or engage in other risky behaviours, it just provides a layer of protection should there be an accidental exposure.

You cannot tell a person's HIV status by looking at him or her. NO ONE is so hot that it is worth exposing yourself to HIV over! Not every exposure leads to infection, but like having straight sex and getting pregnant, it CAN happen the first time. So play safe!

Also, HIV is NOT spread by mosquitoes!

It would be pretty convenient if you could test someone for HIV like diabetics measure their blood-sugar.

Actually, there ARE tests for HIV that give instantaneous results. Back in the bad old days, you had to give a blood sample, wait weeks, then go in person to the testing center for the big reveal.

However, to my knowledge, there is no instant result test you can perform at home. Usually, when HIV is detected using the first test, which is more sensitive, it is then tested a second time using a test that is more disciminating. If you pass both, you are HIV+. If you pass the first, but not the second, that is called a false positive. If you do not pass the first but really do have HIV, that is called a false negative. False negatives most typically occur when one has been exposed to HIV very recently. Many types of HIV tests actually test for the antibody to HIV, which can take 6 weeks or longer for your body to produce.

People newly-exposed to HIV sometimes (but not always) have flu-like symptoms. That is also when they are most contagious. I hope it goes without saying that you should never get intimate with someone who appears to be sick. JUST getting the flu would be bad enough! Some people with HIV, especially those who received it through anal receptive sex, will develop purple-red spots on their skin (Kaposi's Sarcoma, or KS for short).

Some states make the knowing transmission of HIV a criminal offense. There is intense debate in the AIDS community about mixed-status relationships (i.e., where one partner is poz and the other is not). IF you want to enter into a mixed relationship, you must be prepared to have 100% safe sex 100% of the time (being on PrEP helps, too). For HIV- couples, the only real issue is monogamy (if one partner cheats with an HIV+ person, then he or she risks both catching it himself/herself and also passing it onto the regular partner). HIV+ couples also need to practice safe sex with each other--unprotected sex would risk exposure to the partner's variety of HIV, which would be like pouring gasoline onto a fire. Again, PrEP helps, as do other medicines that lower one's viral count to undetectable. It is not yet well-established that one can or cannot transmit HIV with an undetectable viral load.

Be aware, too, that all medicines, even things like aspirin and tylenol, have side effects. Side effects of some HIV medications include buffalo hump, facial wasting, and premature aging.

To the best of our knowledge right now, HIV remains incurable and 100% fatal (unless one dies from something else first). There have been VERY ISOLATED cases wherein people with natural immunity who were infected with weak varieties of HIV were able to cure themselves of HIV and people with HIV getting bone marrow transplants from HIV-resistant individuals have apparently been cured, but for most people most of the time (until a real cure is developed), once you contract HIV, you will be HIV+ for the rest of your life. Additionally, as far as we know, unless a cure or more effective medicines are developed, eventually (perhaps after decades) the effectiveness of current HIV medicines will collapse, the person with HIV will develop full-blown AIDS, and will die from it (unless that person dies from something else first). I hope by now most or all of you know that one typically doesn't die from HIV itself, that a person with full-blown AIDS gets so many opportunistic infections that he or she eventually dies from one of them.

So, an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure in this case! DO NOT EVER risk your HIV- status! The world will not come to an end if you do become HIV+, but it will impact the rest of your life.

At least this one was polite?
The kind of person I think I could have a one on one conversation with, and maybe make them see the errors in their thinking? And then, I'd end up in my usual very quiet but angry mode and wonder why I tried.

As a little remark about the part of the rejection of the week may I add that China (where AIDS is also a disproportionately homosexual issue) has thought about legalising gay marriage to actually fight against it. The logic behind it is the same as the one which motivated the Swiss approach on their own "War of Drugs". Making gay marriage an institution to fight against the societal particularities that make homosexual people have more sex with more diverse parteners in the country is one of the most serious considered solutions for the government. The approach of condemning gay sex to prevent AIDS use the same logic as the american War on Drugs, which unlike the Swiss one has shown its inefficiency. As for using the faith of whichever religion as an excuse, it usually comes from deep misunderstanding of the concept of religion itself. As always, that kind of rejection contradicts itself, depresingly unsurprising.

I did reply, factually, yet firmly. Established members here have seen me do so before, with four! biblical quotes as to why his position is untenable. Since I've already babbled on quite a bit about HIV today, I thought I'd spare you from reading such. Anyone who would like to read what I wrote should TG me.

To date, I think only one person replied to such a response, in a TG full of obscenities in which he insisted he has a special gift from God that allows him to know the truth when he hears it and besides, I KNEW he was right!!! *sheesh*
