the Power of the Popular (or Post-Modern) Poz Paradigm


You must believe me despite what you think: i am not judging, but am not going to infect you, either. HIV meds aren't cheap, even with health coverage. Not to mention how often they don't work or stop working.

OK, wait. Actually, I lied. I judge. Everyone does. Constantly. It is what separates humans from all other creatures. Judgment. Free will. It's good stuff, not bad, not negative. Judgment isn't the same as feeling guilt or shame.

Read on. Mind, open, just for a bit, OK?

Wasted viagra? What is this blog all about anyway?

This is my blog which is a record of some of the more outrageous postings I have seen on the Craigslist Personals\M4M section, where guys who are supposedly HIV-negative are looking for bareback tops who are also supposedly HIV-negative.

When I read one of these ads (and there are many, every day, in every small and large city in the country), and feel particularly incensed, and think that I might be able to reach that person in some small way by telling them my experiences with how that has worked out for so many people doing what they are doing, then I go ahead and write them, and post their original ad, as well as my email to them, to my blog. It makes me feel better about seeing all those ads, at least trying to get them to stop the insanity, or, at least, admit to them that I don't know their situation, that maybe their ability to at least specify that they want an HIV-negative partner is already a big step for them, that for some people they actually have taken much time and thought a lot about how they are going to approach sex and dating and for some of them, it is an acceptable risk to play, even bareback, with people who at least are declaring themselves HIV-negative.

Some of these people do realize that it is akin Russian Roulette with varying odds. Some of them think that at least they are upping their odds by "only barebacking" with guys who at least identify as HIV-negative. I don't know if the statistic is still correct of 50% of the HIV-infected population in the US being unaware, but if that is the case, the odds still aren't great for these guys. It is very very risky and a very effective way to become infected with HIV, this whole "UB2" world.

I can't say that I know anything about it, either, and I admit that to them, because I have been HIV+ for longer than I was HIV-. Born 1964, infected 1983, you do the math. :-)

Strangers in the night (with their heads in the sand)



Dude,

So I'm cruising along, reading the ads that are listed in my Craigslist search for "bb" under "men seeking men". . . Your headline pops out to me... Anonymous Fucking - 34... catches my eye, of course, being that I'm a hung horny bareback top man, 42 look 32, and am always up for a hot raw fuck -- within certain boundaries.


5'10", 165lb inshape bttm looking for anonymous top to fuck my bttm. Poppers ok. No disease or drugs please*. uninhibited bb bttm here, but that doesnt mean i have low standards. must be masc, good looking, hung, and healthy to play, pic is a must


So, WTF do you mean by "No disease or drugs please"? You can fuckin' bet that if you really do this shit and get your craiglist hole screwed bareback (whether or not you 'take loads') -- you will before too long, have a pretty serious disease yourself. It's called HIV-infection, in case you haven't heard of it.\

Your post will look much better on my blog with a picture next to it. Check it out. http://wastedviagra.blogspot.com

*At least it says "please" -- manners are sooo important aren't they, I mean, if you're going to get some anonymous infective biofluids anally inserted by a complete stranger, don't you agree? that's what Emily Post taught this one, apparently -- maybe this dizzy poster should have paid more attention in 10th grade Health class, than in those after-school Charm school classes at the community college...
