Is anyone else out in the APK community HIV positive?  I've been finding it takes longer and longer recently to recover from even a light training session, possibly due to medications or the virus itself, and was wondering if anyone else has had experience in this realm.  In the interests of confidentiality, I'm happy to converse over PM.  I'm pretty open about this usually, but I'm quite aware of the dangers of posting private information in a forum that's Google-searchable.

That's not to say that I am only open to conversation with other poz folks, nor only over PM.  I've already got my brilliant disguise, after all. 

My ID doctor is aware that I train, though he may not be aware of the intensity of a typical parkour training regimen.  He said that the high-impact nature of parkour would work to counteract the weakening of bones that is sometimes the side effect of the medications I'm on.  I'm definitely going to be talking about this during my next scheduled appointment in a month.  Talking to him sooner, while possible, would put a strain on my pocketbook I'd rather not undertake if possible.

At the risk of sounding cliché, there are no stupid questions, Muse!  You can't be faulted for not knowing something, unless you choose to be ignorant.  By asking, you're demonstrating that you choose knowledge over ignorance.  The question you're asking is actually two questions.  One deals with the safety of others; the second deals with my own safety.  I'll address them successively.

The safety of others basically boils down to a question of infection.  It's actually pretty hard to be infected.  HIV is a very fragile virus outside of the body.  It's not an airborne virus, so breathing in the general area of infected blood isn't a means of transmission.  Really, the only means through which it's significantly transmissible is sex and blood contact.  The former isn't an issue when I bleed on the concrete, and human skin presents a solid barrier that it can't get across.  My blood would have to contact someone else's open wound, and then the virus would have to be immediately circulated through the body for there to be any significant risk.  So it couldn't be an insignificant scrape, either, but a considerable wound.  So unless I bleed into someone's open wound, or someone places a deep gash into a puddle of my blood, it's pretty safe.  I take precautions against this, too.  I take note of where I've bled and scootch people away from it (it's harmless after it's dried), and I always decline help in cleaning any major scrapes I get.

The biggest danger is to myself, really.  I'm not exactly immunosuppressed, but I guess I risk a bit higher chance of an infection from tearing up my hands and shins.  To date, this has yet to happen, as I take care to wash up and sanitize after training.  Likewise, I also take care not to put my hands in things known to be particularly unclean, like bird or dog poop.  I also keep track of how tired I am, since overtraining can suppress the immune system.

I hope I answered your questions adequately.
