Hey man,
Saw your post and since Iw work for an AIDS Community Service Provider I thought I would just state one stat : Almost 48% of all new HIV infections in the U.S. are contracted by 13-26 year olds. To me that is frightening.
HIV/AIDS is a powerful disease and while condoms are a great line of defense, they are not foolproof. They come off during sex, they break, etc. Also, pre-cum carries HIV so if you think only by blowing a load in a person is the only way to get HIV, you are wrong. A little precum in the vagina can cause HIV infection.
My uncle died of AIDS and my mom died of cancer. Both diseases to me seemed very similar in the effects that they can have on the body. The wasting syndrome for me was the most difficult, and the dimensia was also bad.
Please keep yourself safe. If you need support, come to the board, or find some services in your neighborhood. If you live in NY, I can help you with those services, but am unfamilar with outside NY services.
Good luck and remember that you always want to make choices that give you more options in your life. HIV cuts you off from a number of options, and you do not want that.
Also, if you have had unprotected sex, you probably should be tested. I can help you with that info too
