I agree this person is promoting particularly risky practises, and it's concerning that he's doing so as someone who is HIV positive.

It's bad enough that there are many gay men that are gullible when it comes to heresay on info about sex. There was some survey saying that 50% of gay guys get their sex ed from porn. Folks would rather get life lessons from a porn actor and a film than a actual health professional.
 
Do I understand that you occasionally have unprotected sex and feel you are safe since you are using the meds?

You said no one is safe from HIV, but that is not true. Only those who have sex with someone infected is at risk. Two faithful, HIV- people are safe.
 
^This. Trust and communication are a must.

As for Truvada, it really does have some nasty side effects, and we are only now realising that prolonged use can lead to cardiac related issues, the cost can also be prohibitive. And it does give many a false sense of security.
To the op, thank you for your candour.
 
I don't think the OP is a shill. His posts seem sincere and well-intentioned. As before, there are many complicating factors surrounding how a couple decides to address the risk factor in monogamous relationships.

I'm still thankful for the discussion, as the numbers of lurkers on this forum most surely includes many younger gays who are hiding and hoping when it comes to STDs, and this thread is a good opportunity to discuss it in Hot Topics instead of the health forum where they will not likely go.

Let's not flame and accuse a newbie in the thread for only trying to help.

EDIT: I re-read ALL the thread and recant what I said in part. I think the OP is still sincere, but a bit deluded, perhaps due to desperation psychologically. Dunno. I know a couple of other positive friends and never get the warm fuzzy that they were truly honest with themselves even about how they got it.
 
not until we are both tested (though I know I am, my hand can't give me anything it isn't stepping out on me) and I can trust that you are commited to ME! and ME ONLY!
 
I do not suffer any mental disorder. I am educated by my doctor and am honest. We do not bareback exclusively. We are committed to each other. I am not, again, saying this pill ends the epidemic. I know what it is and does. I am also very aware of how I was infected and it was not due to risky behavior on my part.
