I've run into a couple of people now who seem somewhat surprised that I'm neg. Maybe "unusualy happy\/relieved" would be a more accurate way to put it – but it's the same idea – there's this disbelief that someone can bareback and stay neg. The doctor who gave my bf<\/abbr> his results was even surprised… It seems odd to me – I mean I would be surprised if the test came back poz.<\/p>\n

While I haven't been the biggest slut, I've been barebacking for about 10 years now – some of the guys I know were poz, others I assume were poz (though none lately), plus there's all the guys who were complete strangers…<\/p>\n

I used to have a gay doctor who was one of the first doctors to treat AIDS patients in the early '80s and over the years saw a lot<\/i> of poz guys. He made the comment to me one time that he doesn't know anyone who became positive by topping – at least no one he believed.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know it's possible for me to become poz. There have been some threads on places like BNSkin<\/a> that brought up the topic and one or two guys will chime in and say that's how they became poz. But that's one or two guys in a community of hundreds (if not thousands) of poz guys…<\/p>\n

Bottom line, being a raw top is relatively safe. Get used to it…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
