Greetings,
New to this forum and to asking questions about HIV issues, really never thought I would be here. I am a young man who has never had sex with another man, but have become attached to a dear friend of mine. We have spent several nights of longing together, doing nothing outside of kissing, but both burning to love each other harder. I've had lots of experience with women, and only slightly fooled around with guys, but this particular relationship is one that I desire very much to pursue and experience, confidently. I've read up on HIV prevention, and condoms are a no brainer, but I get scared about particularly deep throat kissing and pre-cum (oral sex without ejaculation in my case). My friend is at a fairly early stage of HIV (transmission within last two years), and is not on any type of medication. I don't want to have to have him wear a condom for oral sex (sans ejaculation) or be afraid to kiss him. Am I wrong, and is this all ok? Or should I really be using more preventative measures? Thank you for your kind help and advice. Best, Garrison
