Sleeping With Many Partners.. Help Please Posted: 07-05-05 00:31am
How can aids or hiv be initiated?... Is
it the simple fact of sleeping with many
different guys? Or is it more than
that... Like for example sleeping with
many guys carelessly and not being careful
in regards of hygeine etc.
Basically what is happening is that I have
been in many boyfriend/girlfriend
relationships all back to back, like for
example when things go wrong and we break
up, immediately I am in a new relationship
with another friend. They are not guys
which I dont know. In fact I know my
partners very well. By the way, most are
unprotected sex.
So I want to know can this be a danger?
Pleaseeee help.

Hiv can most definately be contracted
through unprotected sex. It has nothing
to do with hygeine. It is passed from one
person to another through bodily fluids
like semen and blood. I suggest that you
use condoms if you are going to be
promiscuous.

Thanks for your reply. Now that this is
the past, I would like to know something..
What is the chance that I could get aids?
Also, would both partners get it?
Basically what I want to know is... Can
aids be caused from the simple fact of
sleeping with many guys? (say for example
3 different guys in a 2 week time frame).
Or is there more to it?

You get hiv from someone that is all ready
infected. If you had sex with a different
person every day of the month and none of
them have hiv you wouldn't get it. It
makes no difference how many people you
have sex with, it only takes one partner
with hiv to be infected. Basically, if
you are sleeping with people unprotected
you are playing russian roulette with your
life. You never know when you might get
the bullet. Using a condom is very
important.

Why? Posted: 07-08-05 22:54pm
Do you think your only worth is between
your legs?
Why not do volunteer work at a soup
kitchen instead of this...Oh, do you know
how sad it is to deliver the news to
someone that they have aids, a slow
agonizing death sentence...Well they can
take the new drug cocktails but many do
not...Aids affects the young the hardest,
because they're acting out their lack of
self esteem sexually more
please discover that you're a worthwhile
valuable wonderful person and that soul of
yours, which is precious, has absolutely
nothing to do with genitals, show some
courage and just go out for coffee

Janeysuz, thank you for your response. I
really know what you mean, and we should
be careful, but now its the past and that
is why I am here to seek advice.
Jennb... I am very interested in what you
said, because it leads to exactly what my
question is. You mentioned I could sleep
with someone every day of the month and if
they dont have aids/hiv then I would not
get it. But there is a point when
aids/hiv is initiated, I am wondering how
is that. In another words, if I sleep
with someone who has aids/hiv (god forbid)
it means they slept with someone who had
it, ok but then how did that person
initially get it? It has to start somehow
other than from another person. I would
appreciate your response. Thanks

It is pretty much just that. A virus that
one person had, which keeps spreading from
person to person. It is still unknown as
to where aids came from. Monkey's and
chimpanzee's were found carrying the virus
in africa, and it was able to cross
species and affect humans. How the virus
came to america in the 1980's is still a
mystery. All it takes is one person to be
infected, to have sex with another person,
or share a contaminated needle, or
anything which exchangesbody fluids. Many
people were not educated in the 80's about
safe sex, which is why hiv spread rapidly.
Now a days we know how the disease is
spread and that it can be prevented
easily. Universal precautions have now
been taken to prevent the spread of
hiv/aids. I suggest you do the same to
protect yourself. Even if it was the past
you should still be tested for hiv and
other sexually transmitted disease just to
know your status and prevent spreading it.

Exposure Posted: 07-11-05 17:30pm
Also if you were very recently exposed or
only think so, they've shown that
antiviral therapy, rather high dose, can
prevent the virus from "taking hold" some
of the time, so get right in...They do
this for rape victims and also for finger
sticks in the hospital, etc.
Also even if you did start the cocktail
you'd need to be retested in 3 months and
at 6 months before you can get an accurate
test read out
if you're ok, please stay that way, ok?

I agree with chaosbob.Are you looking to
die or something? For crying out loud use
your head not your vagina!!!! I know how
it is to be lonely after a break up, but
to sleep with every tom,dick,and harry is
going to do bad things to you physically
and emotionally,even if they are your
friends, they probably have many other
sexual partners.Just stop!!! Seek
jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bla bla bla jesus, promiscuous person,
'ho...Please don't take that hard
listen...
Just remember you do have value, stop and
at least be kind and loving and respectful
of the woman you want to be someday, even
if you don't like the person you are today
all that much and are not taking good care
of yourself because of that, one day you
will be what you want, you will have what
you want, you will be where you want, you
will love the person you become and when
you get there, you want her, no need her,
to be healthy...Think of that future
person as your child and take good care of
her, you don't really have any right to
not take care of this future wonderful
person....Keep me posted

X0x011 gave the same reply that I would
have given. Just like most viruses it
started somewhere and just spreads from
person to person. I am glad that your
days of many partners are over. You
should be tested if you think that you
have been exposed, or maybe just to be on
the safe side, do it anyway. Take care.

Thanks everyone :)
so what are some common signs of hiv/aids?
Health-wise, visually, etc?
Thanks
uhm try google-ing aids and see what you
find?? For someone that would sleep
around a lot you are very ignorant on the
topic. No offence, but educate yourself.

You must be young all I gotta say
don't screw everyone that walks in your
direction
anytime you have sex use condoms unless
you have both been checked for stds and
that means with every guy you are with

----can I ask you a personal
question..Because i'm sort of going
through the same thing and I worries
me...I always thought I was alone with it
because every girl I talk to is like omg
if you sleep with more than 3 guys ur a
promiscuous person..But i've definatly
slept with more..And I was just wondering
how many guys have u actually slept with?
Sorry if this is too personal..

Live Life Or Live? Posted: 11-06-05 13:32pm
Wow,
are you trying to live life? Or do you
want to live?
First, it only takes one person with hiv
and bam you have it. It take up to six
months to show up in tests. There are
little symptoms for several years. You
could already have it. Hiv is
nondiscriminanatory it does not care who
you are.
My advice, stop having sex for 6 months,
find someone you really care for, get
tested, stay monogamous. See you in 50
years.
If not, good luck, I hope the 15 minutes
of pleasure was worth it, when you are on
your death bed in 7 years from now.

Just get yourself tested right away.
There really are no symptoms until later
on stages and most people who have hiv,
basically look and appear to have the same
health as other people. It affects the
blood, so it really doesn't show until
later on.
From the info I got, it's pretty much, any
exchange of body fluids (not including
saliva unless there is a cut in their
mouth), and unprotected sex, is one of the
most common ways. Just be more careful
really, is all I can say. Wearing a
condom protects you (not 100%) but mostly
prevents from some stds, ie. Herpes,
chlamydia, etc etc.
If you are really sexually active, then
the best way is to use protection. Think
about yourself, for once. If you do
contract an std or aids, it's really for
the rest of your life. All I can say, is
be careful and be tested. And if you are
positive or negative for it, then this is
where you can start to change. Wear a
condom, and when you find the right
person; one who will treat you right, then
you can maybe share unprotected sex with
them - (only if the tests are negative).
And that's another thing.
But other than that, good luck. And hope
you do find something of value in yourself
that you don't have to give to other
people.
