A more philosophical look at my disease. I am now a member of a select group of gay men. Not the kind of group you intentionally join; or not so for me. I only today realized, my “pool of dudes” has drastically shrunk in size. I’m looking for a key to unlock a magical door, where I’ll find others like me. A secret society, where poz guys, do poz guys. Mic: Shure SM7B; Mixer: Mackie DFX6; Recording device: Garageband. Total running time: 46 minutes 31 seconds.

A guy on adam4adam left me a nice message today regarding my profile:

“I for one want to thank you for your post! I think we ALL have been naive, at least i have. I just tested neg but honestly it could have been the other way. I just wanted to let you know that your post had a impact on me and is making me rethink the way i approach what i am doing! Your a good guy for posting it!! Thanks”

The profile he’s referring to is my updated adam4adam profile and it reads:

“Tested positive on 02-10-2012. I blame myself for this. I prefer to believe that the guy who infected me didn’t know. But you can’t assume you are negative just because you are healthy. I always asked my sex partners status. Perhaps I was naive. To trusting. I guess, in retrospect, I was. The only way to play is to play safe. Never take anyone’s word. I did and now I will have to live with this for the rest of my life. Get tested.”

The Result

In Uncategorized on February 10, 2012 at 4:09 pm

This afternoon I join a growing number of men who discover they are HIV Positive. I need time to think about all this. I’ll talk about this tomorrow. I’m sorry I’m not perfect. I wish I’d listened to all of you who told me to stop taking chances. I wish I’d listened to my conscience which also told me to stop. Now I must live with this result.
