I've seen some of those myths posted by forum-users.

 

The myth that Tops need not worry comes to mind.

They're calling thing myths and then in the busted half the time it's, "Well it's true IF X and it's not true IF Y" e.g. Bottoming bareback with someone who is positive IS the riskiest activity you can do. It's not the riskiest if they are undetectable, but lot's of people aren't, and you CAN'T get HIV from someone who is negative.

More stupidity: Stigma and shame are the biggest barriers to treatment in the US. No, lack of coverage is the biggest fucking barrier.

This is a wonderful post and should have been at the top of this forum throughout the day and night of December 1, 2017. It's really unfortunate how HIV/AIDS took a back seat throughout this country on this day, especially via our media. In the past almost every relevant channel on television including cable shows would have had something featuring AIDS on World AIDS Day. Not this year. I do think HBO featured some old documentaries, programs, one being "The Normal Heart," but in most cases-- the wires were blank this year.

 

Thanks to the poster of this thread. It was more than appreciated and should be shared with all, especially to those who like to bareback and "take it raw."
