Can I get into TBR if I apologize on behalf of Martinus?

I thought I already apologized. If not, then so I'm sorry if I broke any rules.

You must walk to Canasta.

Does it involve sucking toes?

*sigh* I'm sure it will.

If you promise to do my taxes next year.

Dude, I didn't even do my own taxes yet for this year.  Do you really want me to do your taxes in any year?

Ok. That's what I was looking for. Could you elaborate? I admit I am quite ignorant and the internet/google is not the best place to look for the information as it can be so contradictory. You probably know more about the issue/are better educated than other people who have posted.

Well I don't suffer from hypochondria.   But I guess I figure HIV is pretty prevalent in this community and I always take the precautions that I can.  However, given that many positive individuals don't state that they are positive, it seems odd to me to sleep with the liars but not with the honest ones.  The risk is still there even if not admitted. 

That said though, if a person isn't comfortable with sleeping with people they know to have HIV (/have a relationship with someone with a eventually debilitating disease), they should be free to make that choice as well.  I'd suggest, as has been said on here, simply to let him know the truth. It won't be nice and easy, but it is what it is.

Well, I am still a bit shell-shocked about it. The thing is, until your post, all the reactions I was getting (not just here but also from other people, including my parents) were along the lines "WTF OF COURSE you should NOT have a relationship with him! ARE YOU MAD?!", so I thought I'm the weird one for even considering it.

To be honest, I the way you typed your posts it sounded as if you'd already made up your mind not to see the guy, and were merely wondering how to tell him.

For me if a woman I just met said she had AIDS I would not pursue a relationship with her.  If my wife suddenly contracted AIDS of course I would stay with her.

It's up to you where on that kind of continuum your relationship with this fellow falls.

Marcin just got his test results back.

IT'S AIDS!

I wonder what I would do if I tested HIV positive, to be honest. It's not such a death sentence these days, but it is still shitty.

I know what you'd do--you'd start a thread here.

Not just joking, you would.  And you should.  We're all frinds here.  Kinda, in a really twisted, disfunctional way, at least.

And yeah, if I found out that I had cancer or the like, I'd start a thread here too.

If I had cancer, I sure would start a thread while I still had time.  You sick fucks wouldn't even wonder for years where I went otherwise.

DG, the Party Committee under my direction is reviewing your case.

[The Brain]

I'm reviewing my navel.

Stop gazin'.

My accountant did my taxes this year. I got a $250 refund. 

You are now the third richest man in Poland.  Congrats.

That's probably because most people aren't in a situation where a high percent of possible partners have HIV.
