Imagine if a sniper was picking off speeding drivers. "No, we won't tell you where we think the shooter is, the behavior that got them snipered was unsafe driving speeds, and probably the SUV didn't help."

getting a little too hot on your post below about the exact same topic?

Why don't you, Dan and Chris respond to some of the questions on the post below.

but do keep sending money to AIDS Inc.

And now, the good Dr is saying that the "meth probably did not help?" SHIT, gee you think that it did not help??? But we must never be judgemental, oh dear no. That would make people uncomfortable!!! FUCK making people uncomfortable!!! YOU HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO YOUR FEELINGS!!!!! Use a rubber ALL THE TIME. Unless you are trying to have a kid or want to die.

I have wanted to go off on tirad for awhile. Thank you.

Whatever the fuck your obession is here with Savage, Sanders, and Frizelle, it's unhealthy.

By the time meth came along, I was working at the Cuff, which pretty much cut into my trampiness - contrary to popular belief, bar employees don't get laid all the time. But I could always tell the tweakers: They smelled, they usually only drank water, they tended to be bitchy, and they never tipped. I saw a lot of formerly handsome guys reduced to twitchy, ugly, unpleasent jerks. That introduction made it easy for me to say no to meth.

I'm not saying that everyone should emulate my far-from-virtuous life (I was always dirt poor, and could never find a boyfriend), but at least I had some perspective. A look at the other side of life might be helpful for some of these guys who buy into the "glamour" of things like barebacking and meth.

My most recent partner and I waited to have sex until we were both tested. Once we came back clean, we proceeded, but still very cautiously. It's been four months and we still use condoms. We aren't in an "exclusive", so I'd just like to be sure that I stay clean. And so would he. I really don't understand why more people don't discuss this stuff. I understand being caught up in the moment. But one night of amazing sex isn't worth contracting an STD of any kind, especially HIV/AIDS.

Be smart, folks! This isn't the 50s! Even if they say they're clean, and even if you trust them, nothing is better than having written scientific proof.

Are you talking about scientific proof like this?
Here it is, straight from the horse's mouth, or in this case, the Abbott Labs HIV ELISA test.

“At present there is no recognized standard for establishing the presence or absence of HIV-1 antibody in human blood.” And: “The risk of an asymptomatic person with a repeatably reactive serum sample developing AIDS or an AIDS-related condition is not known.”

If your reading and comprehension skills are in working order, you'll understand something frighteningly simple...there's NO STANDARD for determining whether or not a person is harboring HIV-antibodies (heck, they're not even talking about the VIRUS yet!).

We gave them all lots and lots of drugs and, surprise, they're not feeling well.

Or, surprise, they're 'viral loads' go all over the place.

so, what is in a viral load?
