Yep.
I friend of mine, who practiced “safe sex”, and later discovered her “boyfriend” was a switch-hitter, was diagnosed with HIV in the mid 90s. She developed full-blown AIDS in 2004. The boyfriend died before she found out she had contracted the disease from him. She found out when she went to give blood, and the blood bank called her in to discuss her donation. She told me that she saw the form with her name on it, and it was stamped “Condemned”.:(
Unbelievably, she is still alive, even after a stroke and being revived from flatlining. She has been using a walker and wears a diaper, and she is only in her late 40s.
Yep, those condoms sure protected her!
Suddenly sex sounds less and less desireable.
