Respect each other please

come on people....there are people reading this forum from all parts of the globe.  And making comments and humilating others does nothing for the individuals concerned.  

It's not about how old one is, but as a civic forum, derogatory comments are not appreciated and gives a poor image to this forum.

People do have real risks (some may not even post here - and HIV is hardly a small thing to worry about) and do ask for help and advice in the matters they are associated with.  Please be genuine and respect everyone.

We can disagree and have proper discussions and reason them out (HIV is complicated remember?), but let's not get into personal attacks.

Peace!

So, what's the problem here, exactly? People disagree all the time, should be it be any different here than it is anywhere else? Personally, I like the fact that not everyone agrees with everyone else. It means that the regular posters here think, and, as such, come to their own conclusions. Well, more power to them.

As to the guys here who feel the need to fight with one another, well, then, so be it. We should fight if we believe strongly in what we are saying, and someone else disagrees. That's life.

As for me, I was just thinking that I should be fighting a bit more for what I believe in. My philosophy has always been, live and let live. But, the result of said philosophy has been the perpetuation of things that I do not necessarily believe in. And so, I seem to endorse what I would ordinarily think is wrong by default, all because I do not speak up for what I believe.

And now, I am going to state something I would not have ordinarily stated: the 13 week window period is an anachronism, and we all pretty much know it. Those who perpetuate in the belief that only a 13 week test is conclusive do so because they are adhering to a certain agenda. And they know it.

Of course, as always, I am open to discussion on this point. Unlike before, I will defend an unpopular point if engaged in discussion about this.
