    you just tell him he has to get tested if he wants to fuck you without a condom. simple as that.

    Exactly.
    And if the person is upset that you asked, then at least you know where they stand. I would not and have not been offended by said question.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I guess that's what I'm trying to say.

    That can't be quite right.
    Cancers start because your immune system sometimes fails in its protection role : you've got cancers starting in your body every few minutes or so but generally your immune system takes care of that very quickly. And once in a while one passes under the net and you're in for a long treatment. That doesn't mean your immune system is deficient, that just means it's not infaillible and can make mistakes too. It just fucked once.
    When you have aids things are a lot more complicated because basically your immune system has a non functionning (and very important) part of it. You are prone to get each and every disease there is around. That's something you can check out easily, aids (if you don't get tested) is diagnosed if you actually get a disease that no one else has because your immune system is supposed to prevent it.
    Cancers is not aids, and both of them ain't nothin' to mess with. You should be careful to diminish the risk of aids/hiv because millions die from it every year.

    There are a lot (hundreds of thousands) of people who have or carry HIV and never get AIDS.
    People who carry hiv without ever developping aids are extremely rare. If you know any please contact the nearest hospital because they are studied for one of the most important part of research to actually cure that sickness. (true story).

    If a gal asks me to get tested... guess what? I'm geting tested.
    Why?
    Because it means I'm getting laid.

    It's great to think of testing beforehand, more people should do it, just for their own peace of mind. If the sincerity is there, no one, not male or female should be offended by the question. Maybe I overlooked it, however, in this whole thread I don't see where you've indicated that you've been tested, yet this will not be your first sexual experience.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Well, I'm just trying to clarify that HIV is not synonymous with AIDS, but AIDS pretty much goes hand in hand with cancer, or cancer-like illness.
    It would be more apt to say "HIV can cause cancer."
    That's just me. It's a language thing.
