After losing the race for the presidency in November, Clinton initially avoided publicly criticizing her former opponent. However, after recently declaring she was “ready to come out of the woods,” the former secretary of state has been increasingly vocal in speaking out against the White House. During her address, Clinton listed specific examples of Trump administration moves she said threatened “the progress that we fought for, that many of you wer

Don't worry no more. (HIV+)

If you are HIV+, on meds, with an undetectable viral load - which means you probably could not give HIV to anybody, even if you tried (don't take my word for it - read the Queerty article, below). The good news is that you may be as healthy as ever and no longer burdened by having to go for HIV testing twice per year and no longer have to worry about becoming sero-converted . You may do, however, have your lab work done every three months to verify your undetectable status and each time, you also get tested for Syph and for HepC (always may be neg). Many times, there are no obvious symptoms for Syph or Hep C. So...for all you guys who claim to be DDF - how long has it been since your most recent HIV test, and when was the last time you were tested for anything other than HIV?  Specially  STD diseases. For those who are HIV neg and think they should only play with guys who 'claim' to be HIV neg, you should read the following two articles (especially item 4 in the second
