One of the safest sex partners you could have is someone who is HIV-positive and properly medicated. Since if youre properly medicated the risk of transmitting HIV through sex is about zero.

Its "about zero" in a science statistical sense, though. No one is getting HIV from someone with an undetectable viral load.

That is fucked up though.

Im clearly advocating for knowing your partners status with the OP.
Plus know your own status by getting tested every 3 months if you engage in behaviour where you potentially expose yourself to HIV.

Completely mean that no possible unknown factor could show up and is thus a word less possible to use in regard to science. English isnt my native language so this is the best way I can explain it.

"One of the safest sex partners you could have" is not the same as "about zero risk of HIV transmission"

Anybody without HIV would have literally 0 risk of HIV transmission, and thus by definition they would all be safer partners unless they had another STD they could transmit.

This isn't to say HIV positive people can't be very safe all or whatever, I'm just saying the "one of the safest" is a false statement.

Put simply, even insanely well managed, a STD positive person is going to be a less safe sex partner than a person with 0 STDs. Doesn't make anybody bad, it's just a matter of fact.

A person who guaranteed has no STDs/STIs is of course the safety sex partner of all, but that doesnt change my statement that an HIV-positive person on successful treatment is one of the safest sex partners. Because if we look at this from a real world perspective, which is what safe sex needs to be based on, the risk is higher if you have sex with a person who regularly OR just sometimes have new sexual partners and think they are negative because a test they took last week said so but they took the test less than 3 months after their last sexual encounter. Because it could be a false negative since enough time hasnt gone by for the test to detect HIV, but the person could be infectious by the time you sleep with them. A person could have only had sex once some time ago, and gotten infected without knowing and they took a test too soon or not at all, and then they infect their second partner since both think all is well and there is no need for a condom.

I don't know what some of those terms means.

But "one of the safest" implies like top 10% maybe, and I'd imagine well over 10% of people don't have STDs. So they wouldn't be "one of the safest" because they'd be less safe than everybody who didn't have an STD.

It's still a responsibility to disclose all the information to your partner. If they're willing to do sexual things with you, then they have every right to know, and not being honest in that situation is objectively a scummy move.

It's obviously different, but I'd never sleep with anyone without informing them of my herpes, even though I've never had an outbreak after the first one in the years I've had it.

I was a bit confused by how you phrased your statement so I read it as "sex with a person who regularly OR" and I thought OR might be some kind of acronym.

That doesn't answer the question. There's no good reason to lie and say "I'm poz but on meds and have an undetectable viral load" in preference to lying and saying "I test regularly and am negative." Why specifically use the former lie when the latter lie is more likely to get sex?

A big issue is people actually properly taking medication, and given how useless so many people are...! But yeah, if they are properly taking it and can show they are at negligible levels then it's basically as safe as anything else.

You should still 100% disclose it though, as with any STD, and should really be getting checked if you are engaging in any sustained promiscuous behaviour.

This is false, the safest sex partners are ones without STD's.

So on top of being a pile of simps, no standard having morons, and general losers you guys on here also don't get STD screenings from women(or share yours) during your extended talking phase(lol)?

On the rare occasion you guys fuck a girl day 1 of meeting her, don't you know how to use condoms? Or is this another weird topic by someone who is really talking about themselves? Probably so.

I mean they can, or should be able to, just get an abortion in the off chance all birth control fails them.

I'm a kissless virgin asexual and I don't understand how much people care about people having lots of sex. If that's what they want to do, more power to them.
