Okay, so I've come to my final hang up. I'm terrified

Ta-da, your chances of getting AIDS have been reduced drastically!

is right though.

Not being all /pol/ here, but you are legit more likely to get it if black or with a lot of black men. CDC even agrees with me. But generally speaking, as long as it isn't nonstop strangers and you wear a condom you're solid.

Here In australia its a 20 percent chance, but that might be for HIV not aids

Just use a condom and you're safe. If you're a carpet muncher then you won't get it anyway.

I've had bareback chem sex with hundreds if not over a thousand men on Grindr.
I've been an IV drug user.
I don't have HIV thank the Lord, and I really do.
I do think it's an age thing, just stay away from older men.
Or better yet wait until you're married.

>hiv not aids
I can't tell in you're retarded or just misinformed.

HIV + Time Untreated = AIDS

AIDS isn't a separate virus, it's the same thing.

Yes, and you can live a long live with Parkinson's disease with medication but it doesn't mean it is a great life or a painless life or a normal life.

The chances of getting HIV are very low if you use condoms or avoid anal sex and just have oral or mutual j/o.

Also, the risk is higher in big cities like New York, LA, San Diego and Chicago than it is in small towns in the midwest.

A monogamous relationship is great if you can find someone you can trust, but a lot of men still cheat so you have to be careful.

Use condoms and get tested.
If you and a monogamous partner have both tested negative 6 months apart then you can probably move on to unprotected anal sex but there is still a risk of someone being unfaithful.

Life is short and HIV is no longer a death sentence.
But you also can make smart decisions that help you avoid having a chronic, expensive disease.
