heard this first from my doctor after he returned from the AIDS conf in Mexico. There has been other test done with Homosexual men as well. This is only one side of the situation. My Dr. does a lot of studies with the pharmaceutical companies and has been studying it for years he would tell me this if he didnt see the results or studies himself. I agree you still need to practice safe sex but it makes it a little easier in case a condom breaks etc.
I feel that if magic johnson running round here having babies then it's not the end of the world for all people with HIV. He's been positive since the thing came out so there must be some truth to this statment again the are the doctor thanks Ellen Tedaldi at Temple hospital you make me feel like I have a chance.
The video is also available on our MySpace page at www.myspace.com/pozmagazine It is too long for YouTube.
It would be nice to have a youtube version of this for sharing.
Informative but did not touch on gay sex as much as hetero sex. Found some of the interview rather confusing. I understand why Regan would want to talk about heterosexual sex first, but HIV/AIDS did first start in the Gay communities.
In 1985, HIV (newly found) could be cultured from the majority of semen of gay men with AIDS. When most of those in the *fast lane* had died, researchers couldn't culture it except in rare cases. The incidence of HIV conversion for a receptive HIV- man was approx 1/500. Discovery of the CCR5 receptor in the anal wall (absent in tonsils) is why BB anal sex is riskier. More research on the odds NOW with HAART must be done in GAY MEN. My 5 neg bf's never converted tho we BB'd 1/10 times.
This is encouraging in terms of reducing HIV infections regardless of the populations studied (straight or gay). However, even with my undetectible VL, I will still use condoms to prevent the possibility of contracting Hep C, which seems to still be a lethal combination for otherwise healthy HIV+ people. Save the liver!

Hi there. I am so overwhelmed with this article. I am on ARV since Jul2012. So far I'm doing great. I will get my viral load result this Jan2016. Do we have latest articles regarding this topic? BTW just this year I was diagnosed with Hepatis C genotype A. Do you have article regarding the cure for Hep C? Will I infects others if I don't use condom? Thank you so much for your attention. Cheers!
