I have some exciting news to share with you about an HIV prevention pill that is getting a step closer to becoming the first drug approved to prevent healthy people from becoming infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). It’s important to note that approval has not yet been given, but last Tuesday the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that the drug Truvada manufactured by Gilead Sciences, Inc. appears to be safe and effective for HIV prevention.
I have just read an interesting article stating that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering approving the first over-the-counter HIV test that would allow people to test themselves for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) at home, quickly and easily without requiring any medical supervision. It has been possible for Americans to purchase home HIV test kits through mail order for a number of years, but these kits have not received FDA approval, although it looks like this might be about to change.
If you’ve ever asked someone what they think about the people who produce bareback porn, often the word irresponsible will come up. This is because many people consider bareback porn producers to be reckless and selfish, where the health of those involved is not taken into consideration. I have operated bareback blogs since 2008 and a bareback sex resource since 2004, so I have personally experienced the reactions that some people have about bareback sex and bareback porn.
Many of you may be aware of HIV Vaccine Awareness Day on May 18, National HIV Testing Day on June 27 and World AIDS Day on December 1, but did you know that National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is on September 27? We have our very own day to highlight awareness of HIV/AIDS and while some of us may not like to think about HIV or AIDS, it’s a fact that men who have sex with men are the most at risk in the community of contracting the virus without a current cure.
Think about bareback porn for a moment and some of the following thoughts may come to mind: hot, risky, awesome, dangerous, natural, disease, erotic. Depending on your stance regarding bareback porn, the things that come to your mind may be quite different to what comes to another persons mind. One thought which likely comes to anyone’s mind is the element of risk that can be associated with barebacking. It’s a real shame that disease can also be connected with something so natural, but it’s definitely relevant, whether we like to think about it or not.
This blog is probably the last place you would have expected to see an article about condoms, but there are some situations where you might decide to use a condom and this article has been designed for these situations. This will probably be the first and last time a condom article will appear here, but there are some useful points here which barebackers may be interested in reading about when it comes to condoms. If you completely avoid using condoms in your life, there probably won’t be anything of interest in this article, but you are welcome to keep reading.
Crystal Meth is known to contribute to unprotected sex between men who have sex with men, but these men may not actually be barebackers who choose to have bareback sex. Crystal Meth has the ability to impair judgment, which can lead to people doing things they wouldn’t normally do if they were not under the influence of this highly addictive drug. There is a difference between those who choose to have bareback sex and those who subject themselves to unprotected sex.
If you have had unprotected sex with another guy and you later discover that you have a sexually transmitted infection, it’s important that you notify anyone you may have had unprotected sex with as soon as possible to help limit the spread of sexually transmitted infections to others. There are online services which are designed specifically for this purpose to help make this process easier.
National HIV Testing Day is a partnership between the National Association of People With AIDS (NAPWA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose of National HIV Testing Day on June 27 is to increase awareness about the importance of HIV testing and to get as many people as possible tested for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Regular HIV testing is important and this day reminds us of the need to get tested for the virus which is known to lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Even though June 27 is the designated National HIV Testing Day for people in the United States, those living in other parts of the world can participate in this campaign and get tested for HIV in their own part of the world too.
Testing yourself for HIV regularly is an important step towards helping you stay on top of your health status and provides you with information to be as honest as possible with potential barebacking partners. It’s important to remember that testing yourself regularly does not guarantee that you will remain HIV negative, but regular testing plays an important role for barebackers to help reduce the spread of HIV within our community. You can choose to test yourself at a sexual health clinic or doctor and you can also test yourself for HIV in the comfort of your own home using a home test kit.
