It's nice having pals that work for the CDC. Granted the ages are older than what we are discussing but they'll do to make a point.

 

Stall R, Catania J. Arch Intern Med. 1994 Jan 10;154(1):57-63. AIDS risk behaviors among late middle-aged and elderly Americans. The National AIDS Behavioral Surveys.

 

"Despite the fact that HIV infection is clearly present among those past the age of 50 years [10% of all acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases diagnosed in the United States have been among Americans aged 50 years of age or older], a small proportion of individuals in this age group take behavioral risks for HIV infection. High-risk individuals older than 50 years are much less likely to have adopted AIDS prevention strategies than are younger individuals who engage in the same behavioral risks.

 

At-risk Americans past the age of 50 years were one sixth as likely to use condoms during sex and one fifth as likely to have been tested for HIV as a comparison group of at-risk individuals in their 20s.

So if a woman tells me she's on the pill should I ask for documentation and proof that she is?

 

You should know by now that women are sneaky, manipulative, and lying.. Why would you trust a stranger that she's on the pill?

 

Funny you should say this, one of my female friends told the guy she was on birthcontrol, however, she forgot to mention she'd forgotten to take it the last few day's. One night stand = pregnant. Maybe she was just extra fertile.

 

I'm highly surprised anyone would trust someone with that kind of control over their lives. Who wants to be tied down to a kid from one f***. Then again, the highly professional women are probably a little more concerned about their well-being then you are.

 

(No disrespect intended, Alphamale. Just stating it how I see it.)

I had unprotected sex few years ago, in my wilder days. I'm still scared it's going to come back and haunt me. I read all the pamphlets about how some of the disease don't ever show. I've been tested, several times for the Military, but I'm still worried that one day it'll bite me in the ass.

 

You can't EVER be sure. Even if you've known the person for years. I had one partner tell me they'd been tested and were clean. Then I learned that they meant they'd been tested YEARS ago and at that time it was clean. However, they've slept with 5 people since then.

 

Best you can do is try to protect yourself. Nothings fail safe though. You're chances are just a little higher of not getting something, not that you're actually SAFE from getting it.
