I did not know that, I thought Dan was a serious advice columnist not a Prudy like one who is just in it for the clicks. Kinda disappointed right now.

Just because someone’s viral load was undetectable last month or last week doesn’t mean they are today. Not disclosing HIV status is a lie by omission. Let the partner consent to whatever risk they are OK with after full disclosure.
#1) Fuck & yes he should disclose. You’re banging, to say nothing of the year dating. WTF, Dan Savage?
You can’t believe everything you read on public transport.
I don’t feel educated enough on the medical aspect to comment on the disclosure part, but I’ll chime in to say that there is some very controlling bullshit going on if you discover something they have not told you for a year and the person says, “I didn’t tell you because my status makes me suicidal!” Even the vague…
Even without, that person should be allowed to make a choice that concerns their own sexual health and wellbeing.
Oh well if a bus ad says it
Yeah, the thing that concerns me is that a romantic partner might have an undisclosed immune weakness or other disease which makes them more susceptible to catching HIV (or prevents them from taking PreP).
ou can’t f**k up the legacy, that’s for damn sure. You can’t f**k it up, there’s no reason not to do it, as long as you’ve got the key creative components, as long as Bruce Timm is involved, wants to be there. F***ing go for it for heaven’s sakes.
THIS^ They should really look at how the CW DC shows have been operating and take a page from them. Go for the c, and D listers.
I’m sure if they had their druthers the execs at WB would have call the streaming service Batman+ instead of HBO Max.
More Batman Beyond please and thank you.
If you have any STD, even if the chances of transmission are extremely low, you are morally obligated to disclose it to your sexual partners. Don’t be an asshole
Look, I’m saying this as someone that grew up in the 90's, I loved to death BTAS, STAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, I rewatch that shit so much, it’s the finest set of animated programs I’ve ever seen.
FFS. Worst advice EVER. IF you have ANY sexually transmitted condition or one that CAN be sexually transmitted you are a SUPREME asshole if you DO NOT disclose it to someone with whom you’ll be having sex.
“I don’t think your boyfriend is morally obligated to disclose that he’s HIV-positive to a casual sex partner”
How is the answer to the question “should someone inform a person they’re planning on having sex with of the fact that they have a sexually transmitted disease?” not an unambiguous “Yes, yes of course they should inform that other person, because that other person has the absolute right to make an informed decision…
“Having even unprotected sex now with someone who is HIV-positive and has an undetectable viral load is less risky than having protected sex with someone who hasn’t been tested.”
It was fucking horrifying, and I say that as a gay man who lived through the 80s.
The worst piece of advice: sure lie to your partner about having HIV.
