      I wouldn't take the risk though..

      :blink:

      I fully respect your right to decide what is right for you, but do you mind if I ask why this is? Science has been able to validate that if you are undetectable, you actually cannot pass it onto a sexual partner. There have been many studies conducted to attempt to quantify the risk, and every last one of them failed to provide so much as one case where transmission occurred from the undetectable partner.

      So… I respect your right to choose what is right for you (especially if you are doing so armed with all the facts), but I'm kinda curious to understand the reasoning behind that decision. 🙂

        Every six months. My BF is HIV+ and we've been together for more than 8 years.
        I am still -

        Good for you!

        :cheers:

        Thanks

          And if he's on the meds and undetectable, I would be completely shocked if he were to pass it onto you, even with bareback sex all the time, and no pulling out.

          We use precautions and we wouldn't risk it bareback. Even if undectable you are still at risk of passing the virus.

              I don't understand the question. What reasoning are you talking about?
              We are a monogamous couple and we practice safe sex. Other people have told us the same thing about undetectable and not being able to transmit the virus, though we haven't found an actual study that says this we just prefer to play safe.

              He is my second partner that was Pos and I am still neg, so I think I'm doing things correctly.

                  Once every three months, but honestly, I'd prefer to get tested every month due to peace of mind.

                      I get tested every six to eight weeks.  I am in a HIV prevention study so they test us for everything under the sun.
