No, I think I’ve been very clear with my thoughts on this. You seemed to indicate that OPs friend was in the wrong for sharing that someone was diagnosed with an STI.Quote:

This thread is about an incident of a particular girl, not a place for you to do your preaching. If you want to argue for the sake of arguing, you’re not welcome on this forum.Quote:

ok ok I get.
We all have lots of opinions. It comes with being a human in modern society.
Some of them are pretty inconsequential:
What’s the best Marvel movie?
Is RNT better than FS shops better than Privates better than Sugarbabes?
Others can be consequential because they affect your health and the health advice you give other people:
What’s the best diet?
Should the average person take any supplements?
Is getting a BBBJ going to mean you get an STI?
Should you have unprotected sex and when?
Now here’s the part where I either annoy you or give you something to think about. Most of us have at least one “wrong” opinion and are also totally, blissfully unaware that we’re wrong. Worse, when we encounter people or information that might intrude on our bliss, the way we handle these situations can inadvertently lead to harm.
What’s the problem, exactly?
When people hold an unsupported viewpoint, they tend to be resistant to changing it. Especially if they feel strongly about their position, it contains a kernel of truth, and other people are arguing illogically or meanly against them.If you doubt this, just head to Twitter or any other social media platform or even a punting forum (like here). (Or maybe don’t.) Disagreements can get … ugly.
Tweeting about STIs information online can get complicated quickly. Once you have an audience, it doesn’t take long to start posting primarily to show how smart or insightful you are, rather than taking your time to write nuanced and not-as-exciting takes. After all, you have to keep your audience glued to your content, and catchy or blanket statements sell! I know I can be guilty of throwing out rapid fire comments. We all do.
On the finger-crossed assumption that you are a rational and open-minded punter, you’re unlikely to hold many unsupported or wrong viewpoints. But you are almost certainly wrong about at least one opinion. And like a game of telephone, your wrong or even imprecise opinions can spawn even more wrong or imprecise opinions in other people.
So what can we do?
1. Criticize our own viewpoints publically. This may seem counterintuitive, but the strongest arguments aren’t built on one-sided analysis. Pretend that you have a nerdy little angel on your shoulder consistently reminding you: Are you 100% sure? If not, express some uncertainty. Might the other side have a point? And so on.
2. Clearly tag your opinions as opinions. Unless you’re a primary investigator literally restating the conclusions of your study along with its stated (and unstated) limitations, it doesn’t hurt to say “I think that …” rather than implying what you’re saying is an obvious fact.
3. Realize that what’s true for yourself isn’t necessarily true for other people. This applies to BBBJs, BBFS, Anal, kissing and even punting. What works for one person doesn’t always apply as well to someone else due to personal circumstances (married, has sex at home), or other risk factors (immunocompromised, limited access to healthcare, etc)
4. Don’t act like a know-it-all. Phrasing your opinions (or your interpretations of evidence) in a humble way can lead to much more fruitful discussions than flaunting knowledge and looking down on people. It’s okay to not know something! That’s a perfect opportunity to learn.
5. Don’t assume that the available evidence can explain everything. Hypotheses are progressively tested and retested, so a trial or meta-analysis on a topic is useful, but not always the end-all be-all.
If you have read this far, I plagiarised this from a well known science blogger, however I could not have said it better. If you are looking for good food, diet and supplement analysis, go to examine.com.
If you are looking for STI knowledge to protect yourself, educate yourself, go to the source - not a punting site. The best sources include:
- https://www.sshc.org.au
- https://healthequitymatters.org.au/a...20viral%20load.
- https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/cli...er-hiv-numbers
- https://www.hivmediaguide.org.au/hiv...ics-australia/
- https://www.mshc.org.au/sexual-healt...th-fact-sheets
For your own peace of mind, you should know basic facts like
- What STIs you can get from using a condom
- What the rates of STI acquisition are if you male vs. if you are female. These differ significantly
- How often you should test for STIs
- What kinds of tests you should have conducted even if you do not have symptoms
- What STIs can be prevented, cured and lived with
- What drugs you can take if you are having BBFS and will help you prevent HIV (if you are really worried about that)
- Where you can get tested for free, or confidentially if you don't want to go through your family doctor - www.sshc.org.au and www.stigmahealth.com for example
Just throwing cheap shit out on the Internet may get you more eyeballs on your post but it doesn't actually give anything back to the community you are a part of.

Fuck off, ban me then. My comments were very valid about the topic, you just didn’t like them. Again, you’re sounding like crabs in a bucket.
