Teak, Monkeyflower

Teak - the best person I've never met.  Why?  Has contracted HIV and wants to inform people on how to not contract it and help put to rest irrational fears.  I can't think of a more noble thing a human being can do when faced with such a situation.  In the end, a man wants to be able to acknowledge the good he's done in his life, and that holds true for every man, no matter how or when he faces it.  That's what we live for.

Monkeyflower, are you a woman or a man?  Just curious.

You're right about everything (lol) except for the scare. HIV anxiety and other health-related anxieties aren't my issues. Among other things, I'm a sex educator, and interested in everything related to sex. I found the original STD boards a couple of years ago and think the world of Dr. Handsfield, so I never left. In the process I developed a real interest in the whole worried well phenomenon, something I never even knew existed, so that kind of feeds my continued participation in the support boards.

I knew it!  Let me guess, you're an intelligent, attractive, young lady who's on this because she's had a scare, be it over-inflated?
