Have u ever been scared of getting HIV

Yes twice. I travelled and you know what, you get everything you need in that place. so it was my first time and was not worried about spending. And I did I went raw all the time, tried everything and I thought I finally was happy but when I returned I had symptoms and I was so afraid to check to doc, I did the tests I am good so I get that confidence and did it again after some months and I found myself safe again but then I felt that no I gotta be careful and never to repeat again. Thanks to god so far. But am still depressed coz I don’t get what I want

Yes, back in the 80s (when I was having a lot of gay sex and using drugs) I got tested a number of times...but fortunately never tested positive.

Yeah, I used to share needles with my childhood best friend.

This is the most embarrassed I've been answering a question here, I think.

HIV, at one point, was in the blood supply, so there was reason to worry.

Back in the 80s. Didnt quite understand it

Back in the late 80s early 90s before blood for tranfusions were being properly screened, i was.. but that was the only way it concerned me.

@NinaCherry when it was first out in the mid eighties i think it put fear into a lot of people and being encouraged too use condom they where scary times

Yeah one time I knew I shouldn’t have fucked this chick without a rubber . I went and got tested I was good tho. But I was scared.

Not yet. I have never had sex.

I have had blood transfusions but I presume they screen them well.

More overly cautious than scared maybe

that is neat question. Not so much. When I was dating I used protection and am not into anal sex. I had unprotected sex when I was in a monogamous relationship. that was way before the age of Tinder and such though---probalby be really different answer if I was closer to your age and on the market today

anytime you mess around with someone theres that possibility lol. ive realized this as ive gotten older.

Thankfully no. Haven't required blood, minimal casual sex and it was always protected.

Once. She was a wobbly hitchhiker dressed in an evening gown at 10 in the morning.

I slept w a chick without a condom in like 1989 and I was freaked out for a long time .

Not particularly only time you have unsafe sex is with someone you’re safe with

In the 80s it was a concern, and I lost several friends to AIDS.
Back then it wasn’t just sex; people contracted HIV through blood transfusions, IV drug use.

No I don’t have sex often enough I never have sex

No. I have no way of getting it.

Nope, never concern

Yes. When it first hit the scene I saw a PSA with young men saying "it's not gonna happen to me" "it's not gonna happen to me". Then I caught myself saying it! Nevermind that I wasn't going to have sex for another few decades, I said "it's not gonna happen to me"!
