I exchanged e-mails with Paul Morris in an attempt to interview a real-life couple he just re-signed to exclusive bareback video naughtiness. Morris' enthusiastic wish that everyone '(have sex) freely and without fear,' he's a little light on the real-life implications of such a lifestyle. 'Disease free, UB2' in online profiles is being countered by the cheeky 'HIV-positive and plan to stay that way, UB2.' Meeting sites are engaging in some serosorting of their own by offering poz dating and hookup options.Īnd over at the barebacking gay porn company Treasure Island Media (TIM), director Paul Morris has named it 'the year of living positive,' with a series of videos featuring openly HIV positive actors.

Barebacking is the suspected culprit.Įverywhere on the gay hook-up radar, positive men are asking, telling, and serosorting. A recent study found that 75 percent of new hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in HIV-positive men occurred in those with no history of injection drug use - the more typical transmission route for HCV. On an important side note: Is avoiding HIV enough? Research indicates that poz-on-poz sex is much more likely to include barebacking (unprotected sex), and that means the potential of pitting a sometimes compromised immune system against other sexually transmitted diseases.
