Once again you dance around the question without an answer, no wonder you have no credibility
Would you TRUST a guy saying he's "HIV+ undetectable" and bareback with him?

Good for you! Really, no cynicism.
"It's the HIV prevention gospel. Use a condom, correctly and consistently each and every time you have sex.
But what if that message is myth? New information shows that for anal sex, the gospel may in fact be flawed. Latex or other synthetic male condoms have never been approved by the FDA for use in anal sex. Not once. Not ever.
That study also found one in six men who have sex with men reported using condoms 100 percent of the time. This is much worse than other studies which show about half of men who have sex with men didn't use condoms in their last episode of anal sex."
That means 5 in 6 don't use condoms 100% of the time. 83%
With condoms "some of the time" isn't valid risk reduction. One slip and you can become POZ.

I suppose if you are in a monogamous relationship, both Negative?
And as for monogamy?
"New research at San Francisco State University reveals just how common open relationships are among gay men and lesbians in the Bay Area. The Gay Couples Study has followed 556 male couples for three years — about 50 percent of those surveyed have sex outside their relationships, with the knowledge and approval of their partners."

Your interpretation is absurd. I don't want him to change his mind! If he's the rare man that really does use condoms 100% I applaud it. Just do it!
I'm not "going right after him" at all. I was pointing out how rare it was. Even in many relationships condoms need to be used....those that are not monogamous.
It has to 100%, not "some of the time" or "occasionally". It's not like skipping one pill. If that's his program, stick with it. Awhile back I started a thread for a new "Gay" condom, developed by a Gay man specifically for anal use. Or do you think condoms are so highly evolved they can't be improved upon?
Every sexual act carries risk. If anyone thinks condoms or anything else is perfect, there are caveats for everything.
But you David, feel it's it's OK to say I'm nuts and a SHIT person? I'm sure that debasing me helps you to feel my stigma is deserving.
If I say a simple "No" (or "yes") you say I'm a crazed, psychopath, shit, liar....and every fucking thing in the book. It's to the point no matter what I post it's "a BB agenda" to you. Stigma is self fulfilling to you. Your hate is hurting you more than me. -

Thank you for speaking up difforent, I am not assuming you agree with me on anything else but you have articulated exactly, my biggest concern with the pharmacuitical cheerleaders is instead of stating that the treatment is an additional but still experimental tool.
Instead of that they decided that it the one and ony way and it's only when thear peolple are called up on their behaviour that they alter their message to begrudgingly include the important details including that the partner study only looked at monogomous couples and then they engaged in slut shaming by excluding persons who contracted HIV during the partners study trial.
You are particularly wise to point out the adherence paradox we are supposed to believe. Even if we took the Drug lobbyist at their word, it's establishec fact that HIV is effected by the presence of other STI's which puts the stable undetectable statues at risk.
Even based on that with Prep used as intended for the high risk people only in addition to condom, Gay men may become more worried about bi-sexual transmission in the to us ironically, not so if we listen to the bullying Timm55 and his mates/Sock accounts. -

Holy shit, you are stupid! It was not a monogamous study. Gay or straight. BTW neither is the new "Opposites Attract" Study in Australia. There were 4 Gay men who came up positive during the partners study. They were genetically proven to have gotten HIV from someone other than their partner. A simple fact, unfortunate because their HIV/Undetectable partner was protecting them.
You are particularly wise (so this is your alter ego? LOL) to point out the adherence paradox we are supposed to believe. Even if we took the Drug lobbyist at their word, it's establishec fact that HIV is effected by the presence of other STI's which puts the stable undetectable statues at risk.
(Wrong again! While there were STDs in the Partners Study, no one got HIV from their Undetectable partner. It's a theory only. No specific studies have been done.)
Even based on that with Prep used as intended for the high risk people only in addition to condom, Gay men may become more worried about bi-sexual transmission (WTF are you talking about?) in the to us ironically, not so if we listen to the bullying Timm55 and his mates/Sock accounts. -

I don't need your sympathies, especially when it came after your "climb back under a rock" retort, and BEFORE accusing me of being self-loathing.
What "limitations" of condoms do I need to know as I put one on before sex?
I've seen you and the other guy post similar things on numerous other threads. Each time it's one of the following:
1- some "new" report from a university researcher or "doctor" advising that undetectable is the new negative.
2- careful word choice to imply that PrEP or serosorting is an equal substitute for condoms (which presupposes that the partner is what they say they are, and is COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AGAINST ANY OTHER STI - which can develop into HIV)
3- careful word choice to imply that condoms are not 100% effective (when really it's only ever less than 100% effective when NOT USED)
I see your username comes up a lot on the internet for HIV related discussions on other forums... get over your stigma already. I did. -
Jan 14, 2015 5:18 AM GMTSo the BB bomb was dropped again and all hell (the Condom Police) broke loose
I don't think it's about trust. It's about making a conscious decision. I did do it with undetectable guys and will continue to do so if opportunity strikes. I am, however, still negative and I'm definitely not chasing.
It really comes down to what you like and, again, making a conscious decision. I know the risks and I fully accept them. It is MY choice to bareback, whether you like it or not.
Oh and believe me, it's not that easy to get HIV. There are those who try to get it and fail for years. I've been barebacking for almost 11 years, I'm negative and I've never had an STI. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I think there's more to it. I think you can choose your sex partner wisely, even if it's just a hook-up. I don't do bathhouses, sex parties, orgies, sex clubs etc.
One more thing: I would rather have sex (BB or not) with a guy who's poz/undetectable than with a guy who doesn't even know his status. Those are the most 'dangerous' ones. -

I've seen you and the other guy post similar things on numerous other threads. Each time it's one of the following:
1- some "new" report from a university researcher or "doctor" advising that undetectable is the new negative.
These "new" studies have been ongoing since 2010 or so. Why put "Dr." in quotes? Is that to make them sound like charlatans? If you don't know "Dr. Julio Montaner" or "Dr. Anthony Fauci" please look them up! You will be enlightened. They are the preeminent experts on HIV.
2- careful word choice to imply that PrEP or serosorting is an equal substitute for condoms (which presupposes that the partner is what they say they are, and is COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AGAINST ANY OTHER STI - which can develop into HIV)
Utterly FALSE. Sersorting is NOT recommended if one partner is Negative and the the other is Negative.
3- careful word choice to imply that condoms are not 100% effective (when really it's only ever less than 100% effective when NOT USED)
It isn't "careful" word choice. It is less than 100%.
Consistent condom use in anal sex stops 70% of HIV infections, study finds
that's the HEADLINE. Nothing selective or edited.

I see your username comes up a lot on the internet for HIV related discussions on other forums... get over your stigma already. I did.
YOU and I may be "over" stigma, I don't experience it except on here. But I know it's real for a lot of people. Especially black Gay youth. Stigma is considered the #1 reason for not getting tested.

Please tell me you just made a typo:"COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AGAINST ANY OTHER STI - which can develop into HIV)"
Nothing develops into HIV but HIV.
So you found I do research and ask a lot of questions, try it sometime. For someone POZ you know very little about your condition. -
