1. BE AWARE OF YOUR HEALTH.
   • You know when you're not feeling great. That's usually a good sign to keep it in your pants for a while, at least until you feel well again. Stressing your body while ill can push your already overworked immune system to the limit. And if you have a contageous illness, you can easily pass it along to your sex partner(s).
   
   
2. TRY TO FUCK WITH OTHER POZ MEN ONLY.
   • Of course, the best way to contain HIV in a real-world situation is to make an effort to only play with other POZ men. While this is not always easy to do, discussion ahead of time helps.
   • Treat every sex partner with respect. Try to not be a risk to others. There are plenty of HIV Positive men to choose from.


3. DISCUSS HIV STATUS.
   • Always discuss HIV status with the men you are about to fuck BEFORE you start foreplay. After foreplay (or the clothes ripping) begins it becomes increasingly harder to talk about HIV status. And the harder his dick is, the harder it can be for him to be honest with you or you with him.


4. BOTTOMS, USE CAUTION!
   • Whenever you bottom bareback for a new acquaintance, you put yourself in the highest risk category for receiving any and every STD out there, including reinfection with HIV. Tops run a slightly lower risk of getting HIV, but new evidence has shown that the risk to topmen is much higher than originally believed. Tops can just as easily receive and transmit any other STD through barebacking. And versatile guys have the potential of spreading STD infections easily without knowing it.
   • When you are HIV Positive, any disease or microbe has a much better chance of doing severe damage to your body. If you have been successful in lowering your viral load, new injections of pozcum can raise those levels again.
   • Recent studies have shown that POZ bottoms present a greater risk to HIV-Negative tops that was previously believed. That's because mucous secretions in the rectum contain a significantly higher level of HIV than either blood or semen, and HIV meds have a very insignificant effect on this fluid and its HIV level. Please practice Sero-Sorting to prevent yourself from being a biohazard to someone else.

5. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON.
   • It is easy to get lost in the passion of sex and become unaware of potential problems which may arise during sex. If you begin to experience tenderness or pain while fucking, the best thing to do is to stop and find out what the problem is. Pain is a wonderful device that alerts us to probelms we otherwise might miss. Even so, not all injuries during sex are painful. ALWAYS stop having sex if blood appears, even if it is not painful. This most often means something inside you has torn, thereby making a wide open doorway for STD's to enter your bloodstream.
   • There is also the chance the traumatized area could become infected, especially from fecal matter. Infections are harder to cure in people with HIV.


6. DON'T USE STREET DRUGS.
   • Drugs, especially crystal, cause you to think differently about sex and the risks you take. Nearly all men who have used crystal regularly as a sex drug have become HIV+ or will become positive. Drugs also lower your immune system responses, making it easier for HIV and other STD's to attack the system.
   • Because of the way crystal works, you are more likely to cause trauma to rectal tissue during your high than under sober circumstances. Crystal allows you to experience massive amounts of anal penetration over elongated periods without rest. While taking cock after cock and fist after fist sounds like total stud behavior, it actually does more damage to you than you might be aware.
   • Recent studies have shown that COCAINE tremendously increases the ability for HIV to reproduce in lab mice... and mice are usually good indicators of how things react in the human system. If you are HIV positive, using cocaine is extremely unwise.
   • Don't become a statistic.


7. FUCK WITH RESPONSIBILITY.
   • If you should find yourself with your cock up the ass of a man who is negative or doesn't know his status, use responsibility and pull out before you dump your load in him. And if the opposite happens and you should find him with his dick up your ass, remember that your POZ ass is a greater risk to him than your POZ cum, and let him know why you can't let him fuck you. True, we each are responsible for our own destinies, but you also have a responsibility to try as best as you can to contain the virus. Besides, the life you might be compromising is not yours to compromise.

8. THERE IS NO IMMUNITY AGAINST HIV.
   • To date, there is no medical proof that anyone is actually "immune" to HIV. Anyone who tells you this is either overconfident or flat-out lying.
   • There is no cure for HIV either. Vaccines are currently in the works, but nothing has been approved by the FDA for public immunization at this time. Never believe anyone who says they have been "cured" of HIV.


9. NOBODY "GAVE" YOU HIV.
   • YOU are responsible for anything you allow up your ass. If you like raw cock and hot sperm up your ass, you need to remember that you are giving permission to the other man/men to put you at risk. The same rule applies to your mouth. The power of "NO" is always in your possession. Feel free to use it whenever necessary.
   
   
   • Be responsible and try to avoid giving your HIV to others.


10. PRACTICE SERO-SORTING EVERY TIME.
    • Protect your partners if you are HIV+Positive by choosing only partners who are also HIV+Positive.
    • Do your part to help contain and end HIV.
