Watched Opra's show yesterday on how 5 woman were infected w/HIV by one man, that they actualy had a relationship with.They were talking how we all need to use condoms no matter how long you know your partner.I can't see how it's possible. In theory, yes. but how do you keep using condoms, when you're for example 1 year w /your boyfriend/girlfriend.I just broke up w/a man that I was seeing for 3 years. We used condoms for first 3 month, he gives blood every 2-3 months, i know that for sure, because he kept bringing movie tickets from them. We both single, in our forties, no intention of getting maried, just really enjoyed beeing together. After 3 month we both desided that we can trust each other enough to stop using condoms.I just can't imagine how you can protect yourself from being infected nowdays, how do you tell your partner that you want to use condoms all the time, for all kind of sex for the rest of your life. It was so sad to see these women, who were infected by a man who knew he was sick.One of them said that it's impossible to wear bullet proof jacket all the time knowing that there are people out there who carry guns.I kind of agree w/her.

reader, anonymous, writes (22 October 2009): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you all for answering very much. I don't think Code Warrior said anything about precautions, he said about risky life, and that we can do so much to ptotect ourselves, the rest is God's will.One of thoese women insisted that the guy takes Std test, they went together for result, and he came out saying that he's fine.All of them insist they could never imagine he would do anything like that.So sorry satindesire about your sister. I actually was not talking about hurting anyone feelings. If it comes to my health, I would do whatever it takes. I was talking about how it makes no sense to me to keep using protection if you're in relationship for such a long time. Like you said you keep testing yourself and your husband, that really makes no sense to me unless there were trust issues.My guy tested himself every 2-3 months, actually he was just saying he was giving blood to Red Cross. I don't know if he was faithfull to me, we didn't live togther, and also we didn't see each other every day, 3 times a week, sometimes 2. I know I didn;t see anyone else, hope he was just w/me, but again who can say for sure.Anyway, after I watched the show, I kept thinking about my 23 year old daughter, she is w/ boyfriend for 2 years, how do young people keep themself safe,w all the hormones rushing and the way casual sex is so accepted in society.
