Yeah I have had people lie and cheat on me and they had unsafe sex with someone who is HIV+ but they were on meds and were not infected, and I used condoms and waited a long time to make sure they did not seroconvert-they get a horrible flu, night sweats, very high fever, rash, and get very sick and unlike an actual cold or flu it goes away very fast, but even if they had seroconverted I used condoms and was safe, and got tested and do not have HIV or anything.
I have a gay friend who had been cheated on once that he knew of but then he was waiting for his boyfriend in the boyfriend's apartment to get ready to go out, so he got bored and picked some random book to read off of the bookshelf and 100s of men's names and phone numbers his partner had cheated with spilled out.
Yeah I'm perpetually afraid of being in relationships with them forevermore. It's pretty heartbreaking but what can you do. There's always going to be people out there like that and nothing will convince them that it's wrong. This is another reason why I don't often bottom. Even in relationships with gay men it's still always a risk unless you really know someone in-and-out and they've withstood the test of time.
You could always use condoms and that's your safest bet. But surprisingly a lot of people do not use condoms (straight and gay) but don't openly mention it because it is frowned upon. If you find yourself under the influence and having unprotected sex it really does happen.. just minimize the risk factor as much as you can imo. AKA pull out at least. It helps to get tested regularly at free finger prick sites and takes 5 minutes to do sometimes even. I'm overdue for a test should do that very soon although I haven't put myself at high risk. It's just my ex boyfriend did sleep around but I do know that he was HIV negatively from a recent test. Having unprotected sex is kind of like opiates lol. You know it's a horrible choice but in the heat of the moment sometimes especially with someone you're really attracted to your feeble guy brain can overcome your logic. Sometimes it's the other person that wants you to be unprotected and I think that's bit unfair and puts pressure on you that shouldn't be there to begin with. How much he slept around I cannot be sure of, but I think it was often and especially towards the end of the relationship when I felt neglected. Not to say that there aren't great gay men out there--just hard to find with how many gay men there are on this planet. But being a shitty person doesn't have to be tied into sexuality. Fooling someone who loves you into thinking you're monogamous just isn't right and I know very charming straight guys who are pros at playing women. The right thing to do is just end that relationship and let them find someone better for them--but they rarely do that.
I'm just a rare form of gay male who prizes emotional connection. When I'm not emotionally attached to someone my sex drive is really quite low so it minimizes my risks of contracting it even more. I don't know why I lose interest in other people if I'm in a relationship. I kind of wish it wasn't like that because I seem to be the only one. I become quite emotionally dependent on my partner so I'm afraid to enter relationship often because of the high cheating factor involved and it just takes too much out of me to have it go wrong. I'm looking for something really long term at the age of 26 already. Just need one lol! All I need.
