I am newly diagnosed gay male who is trying to navigate his way through dealing with this process. Obviously testing positive brings up a whole array of issues dealing with sex, and I wanted to use this forum to raise my issues/questions, and get advice from people who have been dealing with this a lot longer than I have.
Since my diagnosis I have been pretty freaked out with the thought of having any sort of sexual interactions with anyone. I know that this is a very normal reaction, and that I will become more comfortable with myself and my sexuality with time. The major factor that I know see, is if I could now be comfortable engaging in sexual acts with someone who has a negative status. I would never want to get someone infected with this virus.
How safe is safe sex? What are people's experiences with oral sex? Do I have now always use condoms when receiving oral sex? I tend to have a lot of precum, and I know that the virus can be transmitted through that. This makes me very nervous. In addition, I feel like I will be so inhibited and uncomfortable and worried that it will affect my behavior.
Do most gay men find it easier, to date and have experiences with other positive men for these reasons?
Any light that you could share on this topic would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
