Homosexuals vs. Hetrosexuals exposure
It seems that Teak and Dr. H want to tell people that if you are gay, you should test out to week 12/13. If you're straight, then according to Dr. H, 4-6 weeks is sufficient.
Now come on. That really doesn't makes sense because Either most people have it by weeks of 4-6 or they don't. If you're at super high risk (multiple exposure), you're bound to be infected within 4-6 weeks anyway. I dont' think it has anything to do with being gay or straight; nor being low vs. high risk.

Why threaten me? if you are so insecure and immature that you can't accept when people go against you and your fear mongering tactics, and more importantly, when you disrespect a very well respected DR. iin the HIV/STD field then by all means why talk about it? just do it. How old are you anyway?
If they ban me for simply because I don't like you and I don't like how you do the above, then that's their right to do so. You would then have free reign to continue scare people and continue to disrespect who I see as a good man in Dr. Handsfield.
Censor away.

You start your **** today and that's it. You want banned, I'll see if we can make it possible for you.
Sure it's up. But drill into the "stats" a bit more to see why.....of course you already know why though right?
I love it when someone thinks that HIV has eyes and can distinguish between homosexuals and hetrosexuals. That must be the reason that hetrosexual infection is up 23% over 2003 in the U.S..
I'm kinda new here so I guess I guess I would also wonder why the Doc. [if that's true] would make a difference. Like the guy said; either you have it @6 weeks after your last exposure or you don't. Where can I find the Doc response and thinking on this matter. Thanks
It's a risk estimate, not a gay/straight thing, and he's given his reason for this about ten million times. I'm not going to look for it again. Suffice it to say that if you're at incredibly low risk to begin with, then the likelihood that you'll be one of the very few who slip into the tiny percentage of missed positives is about a zillion to one. If you had an actual risk, say unprotected receptive anal and/or shared needles with a known HIV positive guy, the chances of you falling into that small percentage of missed positives is obviously higher. So in that case, he suggests testing out to 3 months.
But of course, most people who actually have any measurable risk get tested once or twice a year, not after every single sexual exposure, so it's sort of a moot point.
