"Anything for a shot at some pussy. I wonder how many men who claim they only have safe sex would take this offer up if they'd not had any for a long time. Taking the STD thing out of the equation, who the fuck wants to be the 10th person to cum in this ragged pussy? Bleurgh " Agreed | |||

"It's the women that are happy to do it...meet someone for the first time and let them go BB, Theres so many that do it too...not good I avoid who does BB " Glad you said it. It's all very well criticising the guys that do it but remember it takes two to tango and if the guys are doing it there's clearly woman at fault for doing it too. Personally I never play BB with anyone from here or at a club. Only ever with someone I'm in a relationship with and have been for a while so trust them! | |||

"I avoid anyone I suspect of bb. Up to them if they do it but it is the height of stupidity in my eyes and I'd prefer not to be exposed if I can help it. " agree totally.love that you used the word suspect, hits nail on head. It's amazing the amount of folks proclaiming they NEVER meet those who've played bareback. The only person you can 100% be sure plays safe is yourself .You have no clue what others do regarding safe sex .You can only ensure you do what you can to protect yourself . Best to assume anyone you meets doesn't play safe . | |||

I am sure as hell keeping away from these darn children! How do you know it's not those mother's you're fucking? " Good point. So no KISSING, No unprotected intercourse, no going near their blood, no blood transfusion; phew, I feel much safer now. The W.H.O. puts the risk of contracting Hep B (not dying) as between 1:20,000 and 1:10,000; if you have contact with an infected person. Risk of dying in a car accident 1:2,600.

"BB maybe does come more into discussion with us oldies. Maybe the zero risk of pregnancy liberates ladies? I don't know. Individual choice really. But on oral..can someone say where the risk really ramps up..is it coming in the mouth/over the eyes. And for a bloke sucking a pussy is it the normal pussy juice? Kissing is said to be pretty safe " The risk from oral sex with women is quite low unless there are cuts or abrasions in the mouth or the woman is on her period as things are more easily transmitted through blood. If you are sucking cock the risk is a bit higher if they come in your moth, but if you are getting your cock sucked the risk is thought to be virtually nil | |||

"Whether people are tested or not is irrelevant. I think some feel they are safe if they're tested and may take risks because of it. Let's say you've been tested. You engage in bb. Do you KNOW if the other person is clear? " Hardly irrelevant. And those that think testing increases safety are doing it for the wrong reason. It's not a preventative measure - but it's essential as an awareness one, considering symptoms don't always show and early detection is key - both for yourselves and also to enable you to notify those you've played with. You're responsible for your own health - but should the worst happen you're also morally obliged to notify the relevant other parties. A | |||

Where femidoms or condoms are really not so bad in penetration oral dams really interrupt that tip of the tongue feeling. Are we saying that the natural juices/saliva are near enough safe..just blood and cum to be avoided? | |||

That's what i've been told, i used to give sex education to young people as part of my last job and the training came from top microbiologists, however it was a little while ago and of course research discovers new things all the time. | |||

"But you have to take into account bleeding gums, ulcers cracked lips. Only way to guarantee safety is not to swing " Well, surely the only way is not to have physical contact with any other human being. Howard Hughes tried that and died of malnutrician. | |||

"It would shock yous all that will never do it if i told yous how much i have without EVER getting an std Until the one time you do get one " LOL ^ I wonder why there isn't an STI Home Testing Kit yet. People would greatly benefit from that, especially here. What's more, you'd be surprised how even trust alone, for a partner you've been with for a while, can still result in infections that they may or may not have known about. I know some that contracted syphillis from a well trusted friend because they didn't know about it, because it can remain unnoticed for so long. I also knew a woman whose husband of many years brought her herpes from a woman he was fucking in the back of his truck on "business trips." But if even Ebola and AIDS don't scare people who care more about getting their end away without putting their little Smurf hat on, you really have to wonder where we're all headed. | |||

That means that the person who has not been vaccinated has more chance of catching it with more sexual contact. Hep B can then be spread to family or friends unwittingly. | |||

"And on the suggestion that it is not as risky as I believe, hi, I live next to Bootle, formerly and formally classed as the Chlamydia Capital of Europe. That isnt even to say that Chlamydia is the only risk. It just goes to show that ignorance spreads more than just recklessness. And in that case i am EXTREMELY lucky" so you'd rather risk your life and everyone else you have bareback with just for the sake of a shag? use a condom ffs! The NHS are spending are fortune coz of people like you who can't be bothered using condoms, it takes a few seconds to put it on! | |||

"Dont see why people are so bothered by what others do, concentrate on playin safe yourself and dont get your knickers in a twist over what strangers do Simply because it's a small world and because strangers know someone who knows you. That's all a big part of communicability unfortunately. And? And even playing safe isn't 100%. Latex gloves can split, so can condoms. STIs spread for more reasons than just irresponsibility. But if people didnt go around barebacking strangers left and right, you'd be in a lot less danger. Do you have another "and" at hand? Nope ive stated my choices and im clean thanks for the concern Clean until your next test . Sorry you have got so worked up Yep next test is on tuesday when is yours And what would you do if it turned out that you had contracted something that could ruin or even end your life? What if that infection could have been spread to other people via you, before you got tested for it? If i had spread it its coz someone risked bare back, same way i did from whom i had got it What would u do IF u get checked and u have herpes? Cant answer that until or IF it ever happend But i dont need to answer anyones questions abt my sex life i have said what i do so like it or lump it but quite frankly its none of your business anyway " It wasn't my business until you brought it into the debate and I added my thoughts to it. I'm not telling you how to live your life, I'm telling you the risks of how you do live your sex life. If we lived in a society where you were forced to live a certain way, it would be oppression, but the opposite is ignorance and there is nothing worse than your health being destroyed by not paying attention to the facts that you already know. I'll mind my own business now. Thanks for at least not completely ignoring everything I wrote. | |||

"BB maybe does come more into discussion with us oldies. Maybe the zero risk of pregnancy liberates ladies? I don't know. Individual choice really. But on oral..can someone say where the risk really ramps up..is it coming in the mouth/over the eyes. And for a bloke sucking a pussy is it the normal pussy juice? Kissing is said to be pretty safe " And the over 50s are one of the most rapidly growing groups of new HIV infections because they fail to see that they're at risk., | |||

Taking the STD thing out of the equation, who the fuck wants to be the 10th person to cum in this ragged pussy? Bleurgh I've not had full sex for about six weeks,would I jump at this?

"Can people please get one things straight - AIDS is not the same as having HIV. Know the difference. I commend the people who admit to playing bareback for being honest about it. What many people here might find interesting is how any people who preach safe sex always do bareback. When I contracted HIV I updated every profile I had on websites and apps to reflect this and was horrified and angered by the number of people who messaged me for unprotected sex, and even more outraged by those who proclaimed "Safe sex only" on their profiles. People lie. Work from that truism and decide how much to trust each person individually but for fuck's sake educate yourselves people. Recent evidence suggests that HepC is not transmitted through sexual fluids, but by blood alone, so any Hep C risk derives from the risk of cuts and open wounds. Cuts and open wounds do happen and exist in more rough sexual practices sure, but don't conflate the two. HIV is not a death sentence. It's barely an inconvenience; I take a pill a day and have no side effects other than the odd crazy dream. Antihistamines cause me bigger problems. I'm not saying it shouldn't be cared about - I'm persistently conscious that the NHS is spending £500 a month keeping me healthy - but put it in perspective. Sexual proclivities are a person choice (with the full knowledge and understanding between any people engaging in sexual activities of what the risks are) and so is eating chocolate, using a car rather than cycling, drinking alcohol and yet we never seen threads complaining about cholesterol levels do we? Barebacking is no more stupid than the above, and certainly less damaging to your health and the NHS than smoking, so any smokers in this thread preaching how stupid others are should go look in a mirror. Make your own choices, but do them from a position of knowledge. Otherwise you just sound like a dickhead." Spot on, people are quick to judge | |||

Having read your profile I applaud your honesty - but I would dispute your claims you 'can't pass it on'. I'm sure you're aware of the PARTNER study into potential transmission between non HIV positive and HIV positive parents in couples. Google it and read the results. "As the group studied becomes smaller, so confidence intervals become larger and the certainty of a result becomes more ‘fuzzy’. This means that the maximum likely chance of transmission form someone on fully suppressive HIV therapy was 2% a year for vaginal sex with ejaculation, 2.5% for receptive anal sex, and 4% for receptive anal sex with ejaculation. This latter figure implies a more than one-in-three chance of infection if sexual behaviour remains unchanged over ten years, but again this is a 'worst case' scenario and the likelihood is probably lower." So not a case where transmission is impossible. On additional note: "Condomless sex outside the relationship was much more common in the gay men – a third of the HIV-negative partners reported this, versus 3-4% of heterosexuals. No doubt because of this, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were much more common in the gay couples, with16% of gay men developing an STI (mainly gonorrhoea or syphilis) during the follow-up period versus 5% of the heterosexuals." So I'd still suggest conforms as being a useful preventative measure - even if not a guarantee. A | |||

"Read his profile before you jump to conclusions Yes I have . However why would you play bare if you hVe HIV undetectable or not " Maybe go look at the PARTNER STUDY interim findings. 40,000 sex events between poz-neg couples and no transmission from undetectable partners to the neg partner.

HIV can only be transmitted from an infected person to another through direct contact of bodily fluids such as: Blood (including menstrual blood) Semen / Cum / Precum / Ejaculate. Vaginal secretions. Breast milk. | |||

"Can people please get one things straight - AIDS is not the same as having HIV. Know the difference. I commend the people who admit to playing bareback for being honest about it. What many people here might find interesting is how any people who preach safe sex always do bareback. When I contracted HIV I updated every profile I had on websites and apps to reflect this and was horrified and angered by the number of people who messaged me for unprotected sex, and even more outraged by those who proclaimed "Safe sex only" on their profiles. People lie. Work from that truism and decide how much to trust each person individually but for fuck's sake educate yourselves people. Recent evidence suggests that HepC is not transmitted through sexual fluids, but by blood alone, so any Hep C risk derives from the risk of cuts and open wounds. Cuts and open wounds do happen and exist in more rough sexual practices sure, but don't conflate the two. HIV is not a death sentence. It's barely an inconvenience; I take a pill a day and have no side effects other than the odd crazy dream. Antihistamines cause me bigger problems. I'm not saying it shouldn't be cared about - I'm persistently conscious that the NHS is spending £500 a month keeping me healthy - but put it in perspective. Sexual proclivities are a person choice (with the full knowledge and understanding between any people engaging in sexual activities of what the risks are) and so is eating chocolate, using a car rather than cycling, drinking alcohol and yet we never seen threads complaining about cholesterol levels do we? Barebacking is no more stupid than the above, and certainly less damaging to your health and the NHS than smoking, so any smokers in this thread preaching how stupid others are should go look in a mirror. Make your own choices, but do them from a position of knowledge. Otherwise you just sound like a dickhead. Having read your profile I applaud your honesty - but I would dispute your claims you 'can't pass it on'. I'm sure you're aware of the PARTNER study into potential transmission between non HIV positive and HIV positive parents in couples. Google it and read the results. "As the group studied becomes smaller, so confidence intervals become larger and the certainty of a result becomes more ‘fuzzy’. This means that the maximum likely chance of transmission form someone on fully suppressive HIV therapy was 2% a year for vaginal sex with ejaculation, 2.5% for receptive anal sex, and 4% for receptive anal sex with ejaculation. This latter figure implies a more than one-in-three chance of infection if sexual behaviour remains unchanged over ten years, but again this is a 'worst case' scenario and the likelihood is probably lower." So not a case where transmission is impossible. On additional note: "Condomless sex outside the relationship was much more common in the gay men – a third of the HIV-negative partners reported this, versus 3-4% of heterosexuals. No doubt because of this, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were much more common in the gay couples, with16% of gay men developing an STI (mainly gonorrhoea or syphilis) during the follow-up period versus 5% of the heterosexuals." So I'd still suggest conforms as being a useful preventative measure - even if not a guarantee. A Those risk rates are confidence intervals on the stats, not actual transmission rates; there were no transmissions of HIV between partners. None." Not yet. After just two years of study. But the full report results still show risk - nowhere does it state (or prove) that transmission is impossible. A | |||

There are actual transmissions recorded between people using condoms when both parties thought they were negative so maybe you should go do a course in statistical inference. | |||

"I've lost 3 friends to HIV. Two of whom were in a committed long-term relationship. They thought they were safe. They were only in their 30s. Low risk doesn't mean no risk. Personally, I'd prefer as much safety as possible. HIV is a thoroughly unpleasant illness. " To quote the PARTNER study. "PARTNER is still recruiting gay male couples and, as noted above, its full results will not be out till 2017. Till then we need to be cautious about what it has proved, and, as Jens Lundgren pointed out, it will probably never be possible to show with mathematical certainty that the risk of transmission from someone on successful HIV therapy is absolutely zero. In addition, these results exclude situations where ART failed in the HIV positive partner, though there were relatively few of these cases." It would be great news if it was proved that in the right circumstances HIV is not transmissible. Sadly that's not the case yet. A | |||

So why does every healthcare dept of every government, every support group for HIV/AIDS sufferers and every related charity still give the following advice? (Lifted from a government site) "Studies have found that having a low viral load greatly decreases the risk that you will pass HIV to someone else through sexual contact. But having a low viral load does not guarantee that you won’t transmit HIV to someone else. Even when the viral load in your blood is undetectable, HIV can still exist in semen, vaginal and rectal fluids, breast milk, and other parts of your body. You should continue to take steps to prevent HIV transmission, even when your viral load is undetectable. You can protect your partner(s) by using condoms consistently and correctly for all sexual contact." I'm giving up arguing with you. You seem to know better than every healthcare professional, expert and researcher it there. You asked earlier what more proof I'd like? More. Far more. Irrefutable proof, backed up by long term research - which even the PARTNER study acknowledges - especially since their own study won't conclude until 2017. I'll never argue with a fact, rigorously evaluated, studied and most importantly PROVED scientifically. With everything else? I'm happy to. A | |||

I'll never argue with a fact, rigorously evaluated, studied and most importantly PROVED scientifically. With everything else? I'm happy to. A" The reason for the advice you posted is because every government and healthcare support network and charity knows that if they did say it was safe they would be attacked by the nutters who don't know what they're talking about, which is exactly what happened when the Swiss Cohort did exactly that. I don't know better than the experts, but I do know better than the journalists who write the articles about HIV, and I certainly know a lot more than the politicians who decide what advice should go on their government websites - because that's not couched in political bias, of course not. You also seem to have missed the point about a negative not being provable. It is impossible to prove you can't get HIV from an undetectable, but it's also impossible to prove you can't get HIV from stroking a cat - there's far more evidence of the former being true than the latter, but which are you choosing to believe is more likely? The PARTNER study was only extended so they could get more data on Men who have sex with Men (MSM) but the hetrosexual arm of the study is complete. I'll say it again as people don't seem to like hearing it: "Results presented at CROI 2014, by Alison Rodger from University College London, from a planned interim analysis, reported that no linked transmissions have so far occurred after almost 900 couple years of follow-up. These results come from 586 heterosexual and 308 gay male couples... ... Based on current analysis, the rate of within-couple HIV transmissions during eligible couple-years for the study as a whole was zero. However, the upper limits of the 95%CI were 0.40 per 100 couple years of follow-up (CYFU) for the study as a whole, 0.96/100 CYFU for anal sex (in gay and straight couples combined) and 1.97/100 CYFU for receptive anal sex with or without ejaculation (for gay couples)." Again - the rate risk is zero, but as with every number ever reported there is a confidence interval on it, which is where everyone pulls this "There is still a risk" line from - simply because they don't understand statistics. | |||
