Hopefully, this can be a thread where people can check off the immaturity before clicking.

I wanted to ask you guys, if you ever got infected with the HIV virus, would you go public or would you keep it to yourself?

Would you go out there and play the with people's lives by strapping on, or would you tell them before you have contact?
 
i most definitely would tell someone beforehand because i would expect the same from someone who cares about me.

playing with peoples lives is something that i don't do.

I don't know how you could go public maybe besides just posting it on social media. I'd probably keep it on the low and tell my closest family and friends. 

I'd definitely tell whoever I'm "seeing" or pursuing at the time about the virus. Can't go on playing with people's lives and catching charges b.
 
Wouldn't tell anyone but close friends. Wouldn't date anymore, because I'm #teamraw...

I'd be a hermit for the most part.
 
Absolutely would make it public. I don't live a promiscuous life, but all it takes its the wrong person.

However, I grew up with a lot of shady people. I had a friend that was infected with various incurable std's. I can't remember how I found up, but I remember his words clearly. He said, a ***** gave me this and I'm going to pass it on. The gift that's going to keep on giving.

I was young but I can't forget how disgusted that made me feel.

I was a coward for a while as I used to see the shorties he was banging raw and I never said anything. Had to dead our friendship and years later apologies to some of the females I came across that messed with him.

Their faces and emotions hunt me from time to time. Although they never told me, you can see they also blamed me for what happened to them.

Agreed.

I'd tell a few family members and whoever I entered a relationship with.

It's hard to imagine the alienation and issues that would come with telling people about that diagnosis, hell even getting that diagnosis. Couldn't see myself even trying to date anyone really.

I believe the biggest obstacle is letting strangers know.

I think we can sit here and say we would tell, but the fear of social acceptability is a *****.

I mean how many dudes now a day ask their partners if they have gotten tested, or go mutuality to get tested.

This subject is taboo, when in reality it should be the first thing it should be discussed.

For those that are saying you would tell a person, how and when exactly would you tell?
 
You messed up b. Real talk :smh:

Its a real tough situation.
I would tell loved ones and anyone I wanted to be in a relationship with (early af).
But going public with it, people will champion you but people ( and some of your own supporters)
will scorn you. And you have to eat some of it because of their ignorance and some insensitivity.
I can see paranoia setting in about how people 'really' may feel behind smile, handshakes, and well wishes.
Its crazy.

In this day and age you're an idiot if you hit it raw with people you just met. STDs are no joke.

The stigma exists because no one wants to talk about it openly.
 
I think the when is a case by case basis. Definitely before intimacy of any kind.

You don't have to be sleeping around with randoms to catch the monster.

Some of the dudes in here think is cool to hit #teamraw ... Dudes are just playing with their lives man. I can see how one of them probably a teen going to catch the monster and alter their lives for ever.

That's why I made the thread, all these dudes #teamraw should be reading this joint.

Just because you avoided the monster doesn't mean you are avoiding a heap of other incurable diseases.

​I know ...

Like I said, it's something I'm not proud of and I can openly admit I was a coward.

However, after all this years, I can say the victims are also to blame.

Want to let people hit raw - you are equally at fault!
