    Is the chance of the johnny splitting really a concern nowadays either?

    OP It shouldn't be too difficult for you to find someone else who will do more for you in bed than this nasty piece of work. Tell him to F**k Off Full Stop!

    The word "clean" is used all the time by those who are infected with HIV,whether its the right word to use or not ,that's how uninfected people are called.
    If you are referring to me,, I have at no time treated or would treat anyone as "expendable".

    Its the wrong word to use. It stigmatises and offends.

    I accept that many who use it do not mean to be disparaging or offensive.

    I see this as a learning process. It wasn't something I was overtly aware of until a few months ago until I saw Rory O'Neill (aka panti) point out that to him as a person who is HIV positive it is very offensive. I then read more about the issue. I would have used it until then but now having gone through that learning process (of recognising that many HIV+ people find it offensive and reading more about the stigmatising meesages it sends out) I wouldnt use it.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Is this not the Ploughing Championship thread?

    Seriously though, I came in to congratulate the OP on what must be the greatest thread title I've ever seen on Boards.

    I have nothing to add on the substantive issue.

    It's really more of a thought experiment than an actual legal recommendation, but I think if you made it legally punishable to foolishly get HIV, it would probably cut the rates of infection more than it being illegal to knowingly pass it on.

    Obviously that's not going to happen, but I think it's fair to assume that the kind of people who would knowingly pass on HIV aren't going to be obsessing over the legal ramifications while their doing it.

    How does he know that it feels "amazing" in that case? Bullsh|t, tbh. I'm thinking he got the test done shortly after doing it unprotected before, but it may have been within the 3-month window, and thus he's playing with your life.

    And you'll have to wonder have said people gone to get a check done next day, or have they ever gotten checked out. Some people care about other peoples health, and some people want to watch the world burn.

    I've split the discussion on "clean" into a completely separate thread

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?

    So thanks all
    I've a friend who felt that way too, also said he preferred having sex without a condom. He has HIV now.

    Sexually active people should be tested regularly, condoms don't protect against all forms of STDs and STIs.

    Hello All, OP here i Thanks for all the advice given on this thread.

    Anyway down to business, I went ahead with it on monday night last he used condom for most of it then before he came he asked was i ok to take it without condom , he took it off and went in bb and finshed off partialy inside and partially outside. Apoligies for using explict words

    Must admit it did heighten my excitement in anticipation of how it would feel my buddy loved it said it brings us to new sense of closeness

    Afterwards we just hugged and kissed

    I hope anybody here who was against this behavoiur will try and understand why i asked for info on this

    You're nuts, going in up the muck without a raincoat is madness nowadays. Have you gone to get tested? It mustn't have been that good if he pulled out while ejaculating.

    Get tested. Get tested now and never ever do this again. I have heard of two acquaintances, living in Dublin, both in there 20s who are now HIV+. Get tested now and never ever do this again.

    I can understand the anger to an extent but I think people are going a bit far in rounding on the op and the op's sexual partner.

    Based on my male friends who are gay, unprotected sex is something many young gay men have engaged in. Maybe even most of them. Maybe even most of the men on this thread.

    I think the OP was foolish, but i'm not going to sit in judgment or attack him. I dont have that entitlement . Even if this is the internet and indignation is par for the course.

    I think some of is are just pretty disappointed that somebody would make the conscious choice to engage in such risky behaviour after asking for and being given all the relevant information.

    I realise mistakes will be made in the heat of the moment, and don't judge anybody but it's surprising that somebody who appeared to be concerned about the obvious risks knowkngky disregarded them.

    I think though the OP made up his mind before he ever posted the thread and was looking for validation for the decision.

    Bit odd why you asked for advice and then ignored it. Lets hope for your sake you don't have any STI's
    I would suggest you get tested immediately and well kop on

    There is nothing wrong with unprotected sex, it doesn't make someone a bad person deserving of scorn.

    Likewise there is nothing wrong with a person asking for advice and testing out if there maybe aspects to a tough decasino they not thought of.

    Just because a person in the cold light of day, after full and proper evaluation, decides not to go with a particular recommendation, it doesn't mean that they weren't open to being convinced.

    *every* young man who engages in unprotected sex knows the health risk, and almost all do it consciously.

    Nobody needs a discussion forum to discover the fact that HIV transmission is strongly associated with unprotected anal sex.

    People are far too quick to judge others online.

    I might give-out to my male friends who have unprotected sex, because I personally know and care about them. But some reactions here seem to be more matronly, or carpingly judgmental towards both parties, for the sake of it. He didn't take the advice, OK, but there's no need to take it as a personal insult.

    OP, please rethink this for your own and your partner's welfare.

    Actually recent studies from America have demonstrated shockingly high levels of ignorance in young gay men about HIV, . I'd be beyond surprised if the same wasn't true here or perhaps even worse.

    Eh... considering the state of sobriety a lot of people engage in sex, in, I don't know how accurate that statement is.

    Perhaps not, but they may need to be reminded, certainly it can't hurt.

    True but to be frank most of what has been posted is just stern warnings to get tested and avoid future risky behaviour. Seems reasonable to me.

    Are people taking it as a personal insult or are they simply disappointed that another member of our community may now be at risk of HIV and 'becoming another statistic'

    A test might not show up the virus yet. But if you're at all concerned you should get a PEP shot within the first 72hrs after the incident.

    Between Pep, Truvada and of course condoms the future will be better.

    Better hope you're in the UK or Ireland. Despite most people thinking we have a developing world health system, try having a condom split overseas and you'd be appalled by the lack of medical knowledge, and thereafter availability of PEP after doing all the legwork for the doctor.

    let me re-phrase it. the amount of men who engage in unprotected sex AND are unaware of HIV risk is so small as to be statistically insignificant.

    Or do you really believe the OP needed you guys to tell him about HIV?

    I have personal opinions about the OP's behaviour , but i don't think attacking him on a bulletin board is likely to bring him round to my viewpoint , dont you agree?

    I dont think the op was attacked tbh. In particular you seemed to suggest he was attacked after he came back. He wasn't.

    I think everyone has some tiny knowledge about HIV and STIs. The question is how much knowledge. I personally find a lot of younger people shockingly ignorant of the risks. The rise of HIV amongst men who have sex with men in Ireland tells that story.
