During my HIV scare i often thought of responsability. At first i felt like a victim. Scared, Stupid, violated. Everything was my fault. I took the decision not to have safe sex, i took the risk uneducated at that moment and the outcome would have been my fault. After thinking a while i blieve i was too hard on myself. I asked my partner if he had hiv,he lied, i stupidly trusted another person in the heat of the moment. Safe sex varies from person to person. So if you ask a question like "do you practice safe sex?" Its not a real question. Safe to someone can be having oral sex without protection or penetration without eyaculatiion. So now i put responsability 100% on the infected person. If he knows hes infected then we have a right to know so we can make an informed decision..
who is responsible here? the bottom line is thaat it doesnt matter. putting the blame on somebody will not take the desease away.
When the fda obliged producers on putting ingredient list on pakages we the consumers could make an informed decision on wether we wanted to buy a product that contained sacharine or yellow no. 5 or msg etc. The consumer was always protected. he could choose whether he wanted to consume or not products with these ingredients.. the information was there. With hiv there is no information.(and hopefuly there will not be) on whether a person is infected or not. we have to rely on trust.
So the only thing left is abstinence if there is not trust. No sex = No HIV
Who do you think is responsable??Does it matter?????

Good things to think about. I personally believe responsibility is shared between an infected and uninfected partner, but it should be focussed on the individual. In other words, I think it is each of our own responsibilities to ensure we keep safe. There's way too much at stake and too much in question to rely on someone else to say whether or not they are infected. The most prominent point that comes to mind is that not everyone knows whether or not they are infected, and not everyone knows whether or not they have been safe at all times (because of differences in opinion on what is really safe, and also because of plain ignorance as to what is considered safe). You get rid of this uncertainty if you take precautions to protect yourself. In an ideal world, everyone who was infected with HIV would know about it and let their partners know about it too. But unfortunately, this is not the case, so we have to take complete responsibility on ourselves to protect us.
