So I went to get my HIV test yesterday...

Just get your Hep B and C vaccinations as they are good for 10 years to life.

We never use condoms/dams for any oral (fellatio, cunnilingus, analingus) but always, always, always for anal/vaginal - give or take.

Get tested about 4 times a year and barely even think about it during wait period...

We have had one condom failure in all our fucking about (last trip and did it stop us? ) and again, just got tested and carried on

Its all part of the fun and knowing that up front, its hard to justify any freaking out... We know we are playing in a 'higher risk' arena than strict monogamy and live with that risk...

At the risk of being accused of currying favour with the gods - I am in agreement with Stogie on this.

Do you feel OK?
Do you take sensible precautions - by which I mean maintaining personal hygeine and the same for your partner(s), condoms for penetrative sex and staying sober enough not to take any stupid risks? have you had your Hepatitus jabs?

Then you probably are OK so stop fretting and start enjoying. I fully understad that if you are "in the business" you have to take more stringent precautions but every business I know has risks and the workers in it take suitable precautions to keep working.

Thats life - risky, dangerous, wonderful and fun

Got really pissed

This would be a main cause of "accidentally" doing something you should not do.

As for those that say if you feel fine and take precautions etc. There are a lot of nasties out there that don't make you feel funny until it is too late.

I always get tested every 4-6 months and when they take my blood I ask them to check everything all the STD's.

Costs a little more but better to be safe than stupid, or worse, deadly.

There is only hep. A +B vaccin., but nothing for Hep C. Actually Hep. C is at least as bad as H.I.V.
You are adults, you know what to do and how to protect.

Actually if everybody knows the rule, there might be no STD, so actually we could do it without plastic.

Actually...
