Sex with a condom is not sex. Unless body fluids are actually shared, it is not sex. I will never ever wear a condom. Condoms are for sissies.
Chad Noel did not die of an HIV/AIDS-related illness.It is true that he was HIV+ but he was also drug addicted, was in rehab, & lost his battle with drug addiction from a meth/crack overdose. Chad did not succumb to HIV/AIDS, we donâ??t know if Chad actually contracted HIV from his porn. He worked mainly as an escort and advertised as being available for bareback encounters.
Chad was a mess, but a good guy with a great heart. How dare any one trash him because his path in life was different than yours.
Gay or straight, the porn world is bad. But, one cannot deny, whatever the cause, that it is not right a 25 year old is dead. Yes, barebacking is dangerous; HIV is everywhere, and drug use, too. What's the path ahead? Certainly not criticizing & destroying each other. Some of us will succumb to baser temptations, but we're all human and WE ALL have our weaknesses. Care for & help those who want it. But, keep up the message without the hate, aware that perfection can never be the goal.
Chris, 500 characters = bare-bones posts. i don't advocate forced treatment, however prevention using current methods is a failure. the activist community remains willfully blind to their own limited success, n addressing obstacles to adherence (due to lack of resources, trust, education, life stability) r worthier issues to target than self-righteously bemoaning people's sexual n social choices. the joke here is ur cynicism...adherence extends the lifespan of poz ppl n the utility of the meds.
Jeton--Put ALL poz people on meds ASAP? Will that before or after Big Brother comes into power? We're not serfs to have these decisions imposed upon us, you know. We have the right to start meds at a time of our choosing, and we're not going to inaugurate despotism just because you hate condoms. And even if it were a good idea, "ensuring" that ALL people on meds take those meds faithfully is so unrealistic it's a joke.
I am not sure who Mark King is or this gentlemen called Chad, how ever it is clear that this young man died of AlDS or Acquired Love Deficiency Syndrome Yes, the community, his family and his business could not teach him the core values of life through love and his confusion with sex and money did him in, like many other stars like Michael Jackson, Elvis .... all a lack of knowing true love for themselves and their community and their bodily immune system.

I've watched as many friends have died over the years, feeling pain at each new loss. The point of teaching is for students to learn, yet many who have been taught refuse to learn, and they end up paying the price of chosen ignorance. My heart is with Chad's family and friends, who will forever wonder what they did or could have done for this young man; it's clear that many cared, but somehow he missed the message that they loved him simply because he was himself. Ignorance=death.
