Yes we should remove the stigma around HIV and I am sympathetic towards those that have it and still deal with that stigma that very much exists within the gay community.
Myself I am on Prep, and while it is a near 100% it is not in fact 100%. And yes I know I can't get it from someone who is undetectable.
But I also know I had a situation where after hooking up with someone I found out they were undetectable. That made me feel uncomfortable, largely because he did not tell me. It immediately made me question, is this guy actually undetectable as he is claiming? Is he taking is medication properly? Is there something else he didn't tell me.
To be clear I have hooked up with people who have that information in their profile or they told me beforehand, but I have major issues with not being up front with that information if we are about to have sex. I would expect the same for any STD, testing positive for Covid, or any other thing that could have an impact on me.
