ORIGINAL: steviemichael Sir isint it also that in the 21th centuary of the internet (such has this medium) communcationand therfore despite its inperfection as like our human condtion can also lie or if not lie then most of what is stated is subjective. I've just read your statement over three times and it doesn't make sense to me. You appear to state that in this medium (forum posting on the internet) statements seem to be subjective. Well isn't reality as a whole simply a consensus of subjectivities? Even if, as the scientific model would have us believe, even if we could set up an experiemnt under controlled conditions, in order to 'prove' something, in effect all we do is to support a statement that the phenomena occurred more significantly than it would have done so by chance. Objective TRUTH? No such thing. Subjective reality? Yes; it abounds. And I would have to chuick out most of those people I respect if I had only to keep the 'sane' ones in. Wiiliam Blake, Rothko, James Joyce, Sylvia Plath, Janis Joplin.....you see wher I am going with this???? I celebrate diversiy man, in all its subjective glory......that's my point. celebrating diversity is fabulous in the abstract - but i wouldn't want to have a relationship with any of these people!!! But i am not into drama in my everyday life. I'm also not into diseases that could kill me - and yes, these diseases can kill , and quickly. I know a doctor whose daughter trusted her instincts, had sex with a man - one time- and died of AIDS not a year later. So yes, if the OP wants written proof that potential sex partners are disease free, then they should make a date to go get tested together. For myself, i have to admit that was the last thing from my mind when i met my Sir, so, my bad! People lie about fatal , catchable diseases all the time - probably not from any malicious intent, but from fear of loneliness, undersirability, and maybe a bit of anger. They think (in the land of wishful thinking) that once won't hurt their partner. And typically, they are proved wrong. I'm not saying everyone needs to rush off to the health clinic as part of a first date, but a little caution isn't wrong either. You also might consider the fact that about a third of the people with HIV/AIDS don't know that they have the virus. Make you think, huh?
