I second that emotion!

I'm very sorry to hear this. Glad he passed peacefully and painlessly.

Um, uh, well...

While I don't think the SWA agent should have posted a pic of the boarding bass, mom did more harm to the kid by naming her "Abcde" than did the agent.

For one thing, he has aged. He began escorting in 2009 at the age of 28 and many of the photos he used before his hiatus were from that period. The beard adds years as does the grainy quality of the pictures. If you look closely at his face, you will see very few lines around his eyes. What strikes me about his face are the lines along his cheekbones. If you look at the pictures that accompany this article, you will notice that in the first couple of photos his cheekbones are noticeable. In the studio photos further down in the article his cheekbones are photoshopped away. The cover photo of his book foreshadows his current look. You can see the lines forming that are now rather prominent, again because he has aged. It would also help if he smiled.

TBH, I'd be game to do a compare-and-contrast and watch you take it out. But that's just me.

Oh, I am careful. I always offer the guy some gum. They can't arrest you for illegal gum-chewing if you offer them a piece. That's the law!

This, too, shall pass. It might feel like a kidney stone, but it will pass. In the meantime

It's his penis and he'll pierce if he wants to. With apologies to Lesley Gore.

You are welcome. Perhaps if it becomes more widely prescribed the cash price will go down. I have one of Gilead's copay cards, but my health insurer is billed $2,100 (probably less due to a negotiated rate, but at an average wholesale price of $1759.60, not much less) and then the copay card pays my $75 copay.

Unless he has done a complete 180 from when I hired him, you are in for a great time!

Conversely, I'd L O V E to see "cut."

I'm a man of many talents! Oh, your popcorn is getting cold. :p:p

OK, @marylander1940 , we're good.

Oh, no. I'm just making the popcorn.

I'm sorry, @marylander1940 , we have one to go:

True. I addition to quoting your message I should have quoted the one about Europe being less Puritanical than the US.

Thank you for pointing out that there are places in Europe where this could be problematic. My guess is it would be equally problematic in Poland and in the more conservative areas of Germany.

I didn't notice any cities in the pics.

"Bedbuster" is probably a closer equivalent to "doorbuster."

Pansexual?

Wait - it doesn't mean Big Blue Cadillac? In fairness to you, I've seen white guys talk about their BBC. The first time seeing that I questioned myself about the meaning of the expression. They probably think it means something else.

A quick Google search revealed several results, but a Q&A posted on Beta with Barry S. Zingman, M.D., medical director of the AIDS Center at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine seemed to be the most comprehensive and well-written. One of the questions is: Q: If I’m undetectable, is there a chance my viral load will become detectable again? A: Being undetectable does not mean that you are cured of HIV. There are three instances when your HIV viral load might come back and be detectable again. The most common instances are so-called viral “blips.” Blips are when your HIV levels become slightly detectable, but at a very low level, and then goes back to being undetectable again. People may experience viral blips when they take their HIV medications every day. Viral blips are usually due to issues in the lab, such as some slight error in the test or in the test conditions in the lab. Occasionally they are due to a slight but true increase in the viral load due to a stress such as an illness or a vaccine. Viral blips, in which the viral load goes right back down to undetectable soon, are considered harmless. There is no appreciable chance that a person with a viral blip will transmit HIV to another person. People also become detectable when they stop taking their HIV medications or take them only partially. It may take between a week to several weeks after stopping HIV treatment for HIV to become detectable again, but people will see the levels of virus in their body go up to detectable levels. The least likely scenario for a person to go from being undetectable to detectable these days is if the virus in their body becomes resistant to the medications they are taking. (“Resistant” means the medications have stopped working against HIV.) This is very rare for people who take their HIV medications every day, because the HIV medications we prescribe these days (and at least for the last 10 – 15 years) are very powerful and control HIV very well if taken properly. Resistance is no longer something that is expected to occur, no matter how long a person is treated, as long as they take their medicine well. He also addresses the meaning of "Undetectable", as follows: Q: If my viral load is undetectable, can I transmit HIV to other people? A: I’m very happy to say that we know the answer to this. If you are undetectable, and have been on HIV medications for at least six months, and you continue that treatment, the risk of transmitting HIV is effectively zero. This finding has been well-established over the last six to seven years by multiple research studies. After studying thousands of couples, over many years, research has shown that if an HIV-positive person is on effective HIV medications for at least six months, is undetectable, and stays on their HIV medications, they will not transmit HIV to other people. The Q&A is a good read. I'd advise reading it and referring back when questions come to mind.

That is incorrect. Truvada has been used as an HIV treatment for almost 15 years. According to the POZ website: "...Truvada is an HIV medication. It is in a category of HIV medicines called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Truvada was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of HIV in August 2004. ..." When used as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, i.e. "PrEP," the patient is required to be HIV negative. Truvada is the first and, as of this moment, only drug approved to prevent HIV infection when taken as prescribed. POZ goes on to say: "...Truvada was approved for use as PrEP to prevent HIV among those at high risk in July 2012..." As you can see, Truvada was used to treat HIV for almost eight years before being approved to prevent infection. Just a minor correction. While taking Truvada as PrEP, you are required to be re-tested every three months to make sure you remain HIV - and are not experiencing reduced liver functionality, among other side-effects. While researching the answer to @Unicorn's reply I learned that the FDA has approved a generic equivalent of Truvada. However, it is unclear when this might be available.
