Chip,

Thanks for sending out the url. I guess once I participate more I'll get the privilege. I do intend to make the time to converse with everyone more. Just like the time I'm going to make to go the gym! LOL

While early 2000 isn't yesterday, it seems to be the most current information on this subject. There have been other studies, as those in the bibilography state, but not with the higher number of subjects.

There is a lot more information out there. I did a Google search for "hiv transmission through oral sex" and got this article, and many more.

Personally, my best friend since junior high contracted HIV orally. He had problems with bleeding gums for years and he swears it is the only thing he did that could have contracted HIV. I believe him.

On my gay site the only one who eats cum is me. I get all the facials and take the risk. Of course I take as many precautions when doing so. One precaution I haven't taken is to have all models that give me a facial tested through AIM. After reading the CDC article I'll make sure they all are.

Most of the guys that give me facials are straight and have been tested for their straight porn scene. But some of the guys were shot before their straight scene and were not yet tested. I've been lucky.

Kudos to GayBucks for taking the time to inform their models about the risks even though you don't do bareback or facials. I am surprised that so many of the kids you state do not have the basic information that anal sex without condoms is risky. It's not just the current Presidumb's policies that I am referring to, it's every movie, tv show, People magazine article, etc. Not to mention word of mouth from their friends.

I don't really get into this with my models because I shoot anal gay scenes with condoms or with testing, and all straight scenes with testing. Since I don't do HIV+ bareback, I don't serosort. Even if the two HIV+ models were comfortable doing so, I would not be. Re-infection causing an increase in viral load is still not confirmed or unconfirmed.

I know that the AIM clinic has literature about HIV/STD transmission and I will make sure that all new models have read it. Most of my models are in their mid to late 20's so they aren't kids. Yet it can't hurt to hand them the lit before the shoot.

And thanks for your comment on educating my members about how we do bareback. I've thought of a solution that may not be too distracting for those who don't want their fantasy ruined. I'll just put up a link called "About Bareback" on the scene page, then if they are interested they can link to a page with the full explanation.
