From the CDC's website confirming Prep was first approved in 2012. https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/fact-sheets/hiv/PrEP-for-hiv-prevention-in-the-US-factsheet.html Here is a link to the first study published discussing the potential that viral loads could be undetectable and not be transmitted to partners. Published 2011. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPTN_052

Your dates are way off. PreP was approved in 2012. Geez, when will barebackers stop sneering at those of us who wear condoms because we care about our health and the health of our partners??

I am sorry this happened to you. You are going to have to report the theft to the police. It is necessary if you want to file a claim with your insurance company. You don't have to go into your "hiring" details, but will have to provide details that can help the police track him down. Like phone number and pictures. Do call your bank/credit card companies and notify them so they can check your accounts for unauthorized transactions and replace your cards. If your computers are set up to "remote wipe" like mine are, initiate the wipe. When you get new computers, change your login details for your accounts, in case the old credentials are saved in your browser on stolen computers. If he has your keys, you may need to change locks too since your wallet/ID probably has your address on it. And post a link of the thief here so we know to avoid him. Alternatively if he's been discussed here in a separate thread, leave a comment in the thread, something like "I met him. I do not recommend." When I see that, I know something is up. Good luck buddy!

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Hired him a number of times before Covid - have recommended him a few times when asked. This included group settings too. He played well with me and in a group, always delivered and did not set off a "crazy" alarm. One of the 5 star reviews is likely mine and I stand by it, given my experience. His rates were always super reasonable too, for what he offered.

I never did. My plan is to wait until end of summer and see if his travel/social schedule tapers out.

Does that mean you have had the pleasure of his company and would recommend?

Congratulations on being lucky in love.

Consider: she is a crime reporter. As the expression goes: to a person with a hammer ever problem looks like a nail. "Megan Cassidy is a crime reporter with The Chronicle, also covering cops, criminal justice issues and mayhem. Previously, Cassidy worked for the Arizona Republic covering Phoenix police, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and desert-area crime and mayhem."

I call bullshit. I have been to San Francisco multiple times the past year. Staying in hotels in various areas around downtown...Chinatown, Union Square, Mission District. Went outside and walked to restaurants after dark, used the subway system, jogged outside. Never ONCE did I feel unsafe. A bigger concern was those damn steep hills. Walking from the financial district, up hill, to the InterContinental Mark Hopkins after work is quite the workout. Especially if you have to do it again later, after a multi course work dinner and a few bottles of wine. Don't believe everything you read. Go see for yourself.

I am a little confused of your use of "$160 pounds". Are you quoting dollars or pounds??

Did you fail to see this: What more do you need?

Why don't you spare yourself the suspense and sign up for his OnlyFans? 🤓

Some frogs won't turn into princes, no matter how many times you try to kiss 'em. 🫣

My favorite is downtown Philly! I kid you not...There is a regular Marriott, a Marriott Courtyard and a Marriott Residence Inn next to each other on two city blocks. My guy usually ends up at the wrong damn Marriott!!🤭

Profile states: Muscle Power Bttm. Wonder no more. 🤭

I will admit...I am looking for an opportunity to diversify a little, more so than just a desire to acquire bonds. My portfolio is very heavy in stocks and cash. You know what they say... diversification is the only free lunch in finance.

Regardless of the fuzzy math, the prevailing question is...now that inflation is showing real signs of getting under control and we expect the Fed to stop raising interest rates in the next 6 months...is it a good time to start buying bonds to lock in yields and perhaps benefit from the premium that will emerge in the future when rates start to drop.

We are initiating proceedings against you to revoke your gay card! 😋

Indeed, the first time I saw this statue of the girl facing the bull on Wall Street, my first thought was of Sinead O'Connor and that infamous photo moment. I saw the same spirit in her features. Defiant. Fierce. Challenging. Provocative.

If you are going to spread conspiracy theories, you gotta make it good. Instead of "the powers that be" call them "the cabal". And add some historical context to make it really stick. "After all, the Jynneos vaccine is named after the magician Jannes from the historical Jewish text". 👍

Yes, I suspect the same. 😳

At this point, I think that is a good plan. Get him out of your house and on the train. Not sure how coherent he will be. You may want to wait until a later time to convey your disappointment in how things turn out. Sorry your weekend didn't turn out great.

So you're out 450 and didn't even get off? 😐 Bad investment, that! I've done me fair share of cleaning up the graveyard of dead hopes the morning after. See if you can find an opportunity to turn it around, but otherwise, let it go. Not sure what you agreed to compensate him (same as previous time you met up, I assume?) but if I were in your shoes I would compensate him for his time, what I would think is fair and write it off as experience. I would also convey, no tip, no bonus as our evening did not go as planned. Now, let's talk about your fuck buddy... 😆

Interesting indeed. A companion i have been seeing for 2 years, fairly regularly called me over the weekend and told me he wanted to become my live in boyfriend. He wants to quit his job, sell his house and move in with me. I was dumb struck, first because he called me (we usually text!) and secondly because he thinks I have that kind of money that can support his fairly splashy lifestyle! My only hope is to win the Mega Millions this weekend. To be clear: if I had the money I'd jump at the chance!

Well, if he doesn't want to kiss he'd better find another use for that tongue! 😛 He does look yummy!
