Dealing with Disparate Information
Hi, All. I am new to this forum and finding it very helpful and informative. I have already been the beneficiary of some great advice from Vance and Teak. A question for the group... How do you deal with all the differing views on risk behavior? For example, this forum has a pretty firm stance about the low/no risk nature of oral sex for hiv transmission. Yet even my own cities Met Health Clinic (SA, TX) councils that getting a blow job is high risk due to potential lesions, etc.
To be clear, I AM NOT asking for the forums opinion on whether or not it is in-fact high/low risk, as that has been discussed enough here, rather more curious as to how it deals with these discrepancies. I can see how people come on here all freaked out if there local clinics are scaring them to death

We don't care what information they got from another website or clinicians. We try to give the most up to date scientific facts.
This is not a question about oral sex. It is about how you respond to people who get wildly different input from local clinicians regardless of sex act.
