I don't even know where to begin.
First of all, this guy (with a Grindr profile photo of some shrubbery!) is 20 years-old! I've been HIV+ since before he was born! I'm not about to be schooled in “proper” HIV+ sex practices by him. Please.
Secondly, Grindr really isn’t the place for this sort of discussion unless we were planning to hook up which we weren’t. His initial message to me arrived out of nowhere. I don’t initiate contact with youngsters, especially anonymous ones.
Finally, my sex life is no one’s business except mine and those I choose to share it with, even though this blog might indicate otherwise. The same goes for my T-Cell count and Viral Load, so STFU, Mary, unless you were invited which you weren’t.
It would be nice if this kind of “sex shaming” would end in the age of PrEP and HAART. I guess there will always be ignorant young people.
FYI: The risk is essentially eliminated, not “huge.”
I guess my problem with this whole episode is not that he’s ignorant of the facts. Most people are, really. It’s that he is so loud about his ignorance and he’s decided to spread it around. I had hoped that, in the five years when I was off the market, things had changed. I guess not.
UPDATE: I sent a link to this blog post to Mr. Shrubbery. He blocked me, of course.
I used to think that I'd die from Aspiration Pneumonia, since I routinely inhale food. I’m now certain that I'll trip over Ida Nelson and crack my head open on the way down. Then she and Taffy Davenport will eat me when their feeder is empty.
Why on earth do so many guys on Grindr/Growlr/Scruff/etc. choose the name "J?"

For those of you who don't know who Danny Dyer is, here's a nice pic from a spread (hehe) in Attitude magazine. Yes, Attitude magazine. You’d hope his fans would know better. Guess not. There are more pics here.
I was at this show! It was my first time at CBGB and I was lucky enough to catch Television and Talking Heads. I had moved to NYC to go to NYU Film School. I called all of my friends in Philly and told them they had to come up for Saturday night's show. Things weren't the same for any of us after that weekend.
