Holy crap....You went FULL TILT Infectious Disease nerd!....MARRY ME! That article is hard to read....much less understand. The Journal "Epidemics"?....who even knew it existed? Btw...I agree.....based on that article....one month seems reasonable.....which of course means we'll be lucky if we can get the official government policy down to 3 months.

I'm not an expert but I'm not 100% sure your timeline is completely correct. I agree that the test sometimes (maybe even the vast majority of the time) converts within 10 days of exposure. That's a different statement than the test "only takes a max of 10 days"...... Most the information I could find said the nucleic acid test (NAT) test would turn positive in the 1 to 4 week range. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/testing.html https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/hiv-testing/learn-about-hiv-testing/hiv-testing-overview I know we're arguing about angels on a pin head.....but when you're advocating for mass changes to national guidelines.....1-2 more angels....is a big difference.

I’ve always loved his photographic collages. I spent many hours in the dark room in college imitating them. Unfortunately, they haven’t aged well. Neither his nor mine.

We all make mistakes. Kudos to you for giving him a second chance. I’m not sure I could have been that big of a man. I’m impressed with you both.

Is it just me...or does every man in the thread look like he’d be a ton of fun in bed?

I never liked it. It’s just public begging. There are better ways to help people.

No currently available test is going to be able to detect “recent” infection. What constitutes “recent” is open to debate. And just because a test “can” sometimes detect infection within one week, doesn’t mean it’s 100% sensitive at the one week mark. In general, the longer you wait after exposure the more sensitive your test becomes. I agree 12 months seems excessive. It’s not just about HIV....we’re at high risk for lots of blood borne diseases. Guess what, they don’t accept blood from people living in Lyme endemic areas during the summer months either....is it ”Northeastern Summer Solstice Phobia? Or just using good medical epidemiology to protect our blood supply....you decide.

To answer the question...because you have to sell tickets. The 10% homo crowd...will buy tickets to a show with 2 straight leads. The 90% straight crowd....won’t buy tickets to a show with 2 gay leads. Do the math.

Sorry, I disagree. It’s not homophobia....it’s medical science. Men who have sex with men are at high risk of contracting HIV. Maybe we’re not as high risk as we used to be....but we’re still high risk. I think the 1 year moratorium may be excessive time wise, but it’s not insane. We’re talking about transfusing people with infected blood.....you want to be hated?....infect a bunch of children with an STD.....the backlash won’t be kind. I’m the first to call out homophobia when I see it....this isn’t it.

I saw it before the auction...... All I can say is it photographs well. In person....it was “meh”.

Smart from a business prospective.....in reality....dumb. I never really got it,

Wow....ALL of your 11 posts to date are in threads about DanielBrazilian. Stupid we are not....welcome to the forum.....Daniel.

I don’t think I’ve ever asked. Usually the public photos are enough for me to make a decision. I might make an exception if there were only one generic public photo and several private ones. I don’t think there’s any problem with blindly asking at first contact though. After all, the photos are there to generate business.

What a long strange trip it’s been...... In other words....it’s time for a Vegas trip report! https://rentmen.eu/AmbitiousJock....got a bad review above....so I skipped him. https://rentmen.eu/Private_Dancer....indeed was not in Vegas. Must have been wishful thinking on my part https://rentmen.eu/TJ_MACHINE....seems to have moved to Palm Springs...and his add expired. https://rentmen.eu/Dominic_Casey....indeed his ad expired. https://rentmen.eu/David_XXL....is now listed only as a Top https://rentmen.eu/Roque_hito...wasn’t available...home is now listed as San Fransisco. ....did every escort in Vegas suddenly change his ad....or did I have a minor stroke while making this list?....lol https://rentmen.eu/VincentOReilly....only has email contact on Rentmen.....sigh. https://rentmen.eu/REESETHEGOD...told a poster here to “Go get AIDS”....yeah....pass https://rentmen.eu/Hero_boy....showed up!.....Hallelujah!....looked like his pics!.....Hallelujah! ....dropped his pants.....and then he announced his “policy” of requiring payment upfront....sigh. I told him I wouldn’t agree to that....he got dressed and asked for a $150 “cancellation fee”.... I laughed and he was politely escorted to the door without any payment. https://rentmen.eu/MarcusBrasil...showed up....looked like his pics...was fun in bed....I mean REAL fun. So about par for the course for Vegas.

Thanks I’ve never seen that performance before. Pure Liza. Pure New York.

I don’t care for her work, but Tamara de Lempicka just broke her previous record.... Sold for over $9 Million this week.

I’m in Vegas right now and I was looking at his ad last night. Muscle worship with a straight dude isn't normally my “thing” but I figured WTF it’s Vegas....and I was seriously considering giving it a try. Thankfully, I saw this thread and I quickly moved on.

Art History nerds make me hard.....just sayin’

These guys confuse me. Their “look” is all over the map and I can’t tell which is which. They look like fun, but I’ve avoided contacting them because I have no idea what’s going to show up at my door!

Links always help.... https://rentmen.eu/jerico https://rentmen.eu/MikeMatthews Unfortunate, I don't know either one.

Yes to both. As I tell the young gay men around me.... If you’re gonna be a faggot.... You better have thick skin... And know how to fight.

I think it was a nice gesture in its day. I’d say most women in today’s world would unfortunately be offended by it. Decorum is dead....long live equality.

I know this is a little late, but for the record.... He’s real and real fun. Feel free to PM if you need more info.

When?

Over. You strange “under” people must have been raised in a barn.
