If you treated everyone as if they are HIV+ you would engage in safe sex. Brandon, you are a dork.

HIV and other disease are no more “what you got coming” by engaging in unprotected sex any more than getting raped is what you should expect if hooking up with a stranger. The rationale people use to justify their need to feel superior righteous or find some easily identifiable bogeyman, is simply unreal. I guess if I were to engage in the gay approved behavior of casually performing oral sex on HIV+ men and then acquire the virus, I’ll have earned the “victim” status? The boyfriends may not be innocent, but they don’t require any false sanctimony either.

HIV and other diseases are no more “what you got coming” by engaging in unprotected sex any more than getting raped is what you should expect when hooking up with a stranger. The logic people use to justify their need to feel superior, righteous or find that easily identifiable bogeyman, is breathtaking. I suppose if I were to engage in the gay socially approved behavior of casually sucking on the penises of HIV+ men and then acquire the virus, I’ll have earned “victim” status then?
The boyfriends may not be innocent, but they don’t require any false sanctimony either.

If this were true, then why are so few people abstaining from sex?

“They freely engaged in unsafe sex; what the fuck did they expect to happen; that for some reason HIV virus wasn’t poisonous to them”?

HIV/Aids
and other diseases are
no more “what one has coming”
by engaging in condomless sex any more than getting raped is what one should expect when
hooking up with a stranger.

I’m glad you test negative, but keep getting tested every six months at a minimum. It only takes a short time to get the test, and if you should somehow become infected, the earlier treatment starts the less the problems it causes. If the virus is kept to undetectable levels, it makes it much less likely to be transmitted to others and does less damage to your body’s systems. The virus does more than destroy the immune system. It affects the endocrine system which makes a person more susceptible to diabetes and to abnormally low testosterone levels. If a man wants to experience the unpleasant emotional swings menstruating women experience, just let your testosterone levels get too low. The low testosterone levels also lead to muscle loss so big biceps fade away and body hair disappears.

You have been both lucky and smart. Lucky not to get infected and smart to get tested. Keep up the smart part.

@scottieMSP rather than use this forum to work through your emotional needs, I suggest you do what I finally did. Find a good, GAY male therapist (mine is a psychiatrist) and talk. It has really helped me to understand my triggers and allowed me to stop blaming and start coping.

(and here is one of my many typos from above comment #119)

“oh and the boy who says he was molested by daniel, he has every right as daniel to be believed he is not lying street goes but was”

here is a correction

last part should have been “street goes both ways”.

PS i love the word DUMB ASS and just LOOOOVVVEEE to see it used so use it some more I LIKE THAT =)

“i had a late friend that was once like you, i really feel sorry for him but at least he manned up to what he did and when he saw how horrible his actions were he hung himself, if he would have just done his time for his crime he would have been rehabilitated, but i guess he had a concious and couldnt take how horrid what he did was. knock it off daniel and man up”

and your sort of right i should haveused a comma after “what he did” and before”and when he saw”
now here is what i left out of that post. My friend was messed up on drugs and alcohol, he raped a 10 year old boy, he was caught 1 hour later , he admitted to his crime, and plead guilty to what he did aganst legal advice he also was charged for spreading hiv, and he even volentered names of those he infected with out there knowledge (the infecting)but lets see he MANNED up to his crimes with out lying and trying to make those that pressed charges against him for infecting them, seem like they are liars and to bash them with any kind of crap that seems to come from the mouths of people that have done this same thing, not saying tha is you , but it has happenned in the past, and still seems to be happening(my friend knew he was positive while infecting people) so after a few weeks, he couldnt accept what he did, and hung himself, a tradgedy, he could have been rahabilitated, and should not have hung himself , or did you leave that out on purpose and say ” OH YOU ARE TELLING DANIEL TO KILL HIMSELF” GET A LIFE GET A CLUE AND GET OFF YOUR BOX did you ever think daniel is the one that is lying, nope, but everone else is. SHUT UP oh and the boy who says he was molested by daniel, he has every right as daniel to be believed he is not lying street goes but was, and i never said daniel was guilty , i just said he has unsafe sexand you jum[ped all over it and called me and ever one a liar, but es about the boy i did say he was guilty, too bad i cant prove it but i bet the state will, gonna watch this close and if and when he is found guilty. i will laugh at you and spread it everywhere, thats my right, freedom of speech

“yes daniel bare backs and lied about his status, mabey not to me but people i know, yes we (my partner and I) barbacked with him before he was positve, my best friend did and asked daniel was asked if he was positive and he said no even tho daniel knew he himself was positive and continued to expose my friend, that my friend is illeagal in he state of mn”

Ok, so let’s put this in typing so that people will be able to read it easier.

1-You are saying that yes Daniel barebacks.
2-He lies about his status (maybe, not to you, but to people you know)
3-Yes, you and your partner barebacked with Daniel “BEFORE HE WAS POSITIVE”
4-Your friend asked Daniel if he was positive
5-Daniel said “no,” even though he knew he was positive.
6-Daniel continued to expose your friend to HIV

This whole paragraph tells me that you and your friend were barebacking with Daniel. Your friend asked if Daniel was positive and Daniel said no, BEFORE he was positive, and he continued to expose your friend to HIV. #1, your friend is an idiot for barebacking in this day and age with all the diseases in the world, not just HIV. #2, how can you say “before he was positive” and “continued to expose your friend” in the same paragraph? Either he was positive or he wasn’t. You can’t have it both ways. Does your friend have HIV today? Do you have HIV? I am not, by any means, trying to get into you or your friend’s personal business, but I find it interesting that you are on here posting this stuff and contradicting your statements like that.

Yes, I am very upset that Daniel is being blamed for something that he didn’t do. EXTREMELY UPSET! I find it interesting that this 15 year old boy is lying through his teeth. Daniel does not have relationships with little boys. This little boy is more than likely trying to find a way to tell his parents that he is gay and this would be easier to say someone took advantage of him because it would be more acceptible than, OMG! MY SON IS GAY! WHAT DO I DO NOW? HOW DO I LET MY FAMILY MEMBERS KNOW? Not to mention Dad would probably disown him for being gay! What a sad world that we cannot accept our children for who GOD made them to be. Our children, our parents, our brothers and sister, our aunts and uncles and our friends should not be shunned because they are gay. People are people and we are what GOD has made us. Nothing anybody can do about that, so why can’t we love people for who they are? It should not matter what our sexual preferance is! And as for the the other guy…how pathetic! Does this guy have a significant other and he has been cheating on him with other men and found out that HE is HIV positive and doesn’t want to be caught cheating so he blames Daniel? Hell, I ‘d do that too, if I could guaranty that I wouldn’t go to jail for lying! Then my secrets would be safe. Seriously, people, before you go accusing someone for a crime and verbally bashing them, why don’t you take a different approach and let each story be told and hear the truth before you put someone’s life on the line?

scottiemsp, you said something earlier that really bothers me. Here is what I pulled off of one of your posts:

“i had a late friend that was once like you, i really feel sorry for him but at least he manned up to what he did and when he saw how horrible his actions were he hung himself, if he would have just done his time for his crime he would have been rehabilitated, but i guess he had a concious and couldnt take how horrid what he did was.”

How could you say something like that about someone you called a friend?! Maybe, your friend did a bad thing, but he was no man about it! He hung himself because he wanted to take the easy way out! People don’t man up by killing themselves! They take responsibility and pay the price for their actions! Your friend was a coward! He didn’t own up to anything he did. He took the easy way out. Your friend din’t want to spend time in jail so he left this world. He will have to answer to God for his actions, including his suicide. He would have been rehabilitated by going to jail? Are you kidding me?! How many people have been on the news that have been in jail for raping women, men or children and they get out just to continue to do it? Just because you are locked up does NOT mean you won’t do it anymore. And are you sure your “friend” was even guilty? Maybe, his life was being ruined by lies and he could no longer stand up to them.

Are you trying to tell Daniel to do what your friend did? To “man” up and kill himself? I suffer from depression myself. You have no idea what mental condition this has put Daniel through, but I tell you what…if Daniel does kill himself over this, I know where to send the police. People who suffer from depression can be very vulnerable to suggestions. And may God help you if Daniel is reading all the crap you have posted on here. If he becomes so depressed and distraught over this whole ordeal and kills himself, I will suggest to the police that you told him to do it. “You had a late friend like Daniel. You felt sorry for him. But hey, he manned up and hung himself.” That was a HORRIBLE thing to post on here! You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting that!

I hope you understand where i am coming from and I hope you choose better suggestions to post on here. By the way, I think you owe my sister an apology for not believing her for being a woman. Your quote:
