Barebacking vs. Wearing my raincoat

[CellarDweller]

You don't say if he refused to sex with you because you refused to wear a condom.

If it were me, and he refused, I would tell him "good-bye". 

I can understand not using a condom with a partner that you are in a monogamous relationship with, even then there's a risk if they decided to step out of the relationship on the sly, but to do it with a hook-up from online?  No way.


New HIV Variant Discovered: May be More Infectious and Severe

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that mutations in a virus can significantly change a pathogen’s infectiousness and severity of disease.

Now, new research from the University of Oxford finds a new variant of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, that is potentially more infectious and could more seriously affect the immune system.

So far, 109 people, most of whom live in the Netherlands, have the variant.

The new strain, called the VB variant, damages the immune system, weakening people’s ability to fight everyday infections and diseases much faster than the previous HIV strains, scientists say.

It also means that people who contract the new variant may develop AIDS faster.
