  1. was sent a fucking text message at 3 am in the morning and has been cranky ever since
  2. @gmtoronto AH got it.
  3. this is what having 3 cups of french roast does to me!
  4. time to get ready for work. Thank you everyone for this great discussion.
  5. @gmtoronto or made panels for the quilt, or attended a vigil. Or watch the living ones get fired from their jobs or evicted from families
  6. @gmtoronto and I think it's "marketed" that way a little too much as well
  7. @iamstockier Yep. And techinically I could press charges on the guy who gave it to me..but how do I prove any of it in the long run?
  8. @iamstockier I would agree. But all it takes is ONE irresponsible person to mar the reputation of all the others
  9. @DerekDaSilva ..but if I had accidentally passed it on to him, would the current environment see me as a criminal?
  10. @DerekDaSilva Yep. I was with my partner 4 years before I found out. Didn't pass it on to him, thankfully.
  11. and now there's a focus on the "criminalization" of that, which may lead to people communicating about their status even less
  12. let's not forget the horror of finding out you have hiv and realizing that you may have passed it to others.
  13. @mdpConcourse well, it IS a chronic manageable disease brother. There's just new responsibility you have to convey with that info
  14. @mdpConcourse and what kind of message inspired you to have safer sex?
  15. @mdpConcourse btw..I know I said I was gonna go sling peanuts but the discussion got really good!
  16. @DerekDaSilva and peer-based.
  17. @Urraca You're very welcome!
  18. @BlackAzazel @tonyinabag good point, except you also don't want to deter people from getting tested. Which that would do
  19. @DerekDaSilva I agree and I'm glad you are. And I hope you get that I'm trying to help your effectiveness, not hinder it
  20. @tonyinabag well let's not go THAT direction boy! We dreamed of the disease being what it is now. We just have to adjust our approach now
