Any person in this day and time that refuses to use condoms right off the bat is not a person you want to be involved with.
Thank
You
Period
He didn't refuse, though. He ended up saying "fine" then taking it off later.
I agree that him being adamant about unprotected sex was a red flag, though.
@@swine13 I was going by what he said..... He said right off the bat that the man was ready to dive in RAW!!!! Then he stated that the man tore a hole in the condom and then sent him a taunting text about what he done. He said that both of his parents died from HIV so I doubt it if he was a willing participant to his shenanigans.
Big red flag
Wow he got life in prison??? I'm surprised justice was actually served.
Joelle R. In America he would have been in jail for two weeks
Justice would be lenny getting to have his way with him
@@Persvades It depends on what State he's in.
Joelle R. Life in prison over here in the uk is about 8 years with good behaviour
I'd be scared for the inmates closento him there in prison. He shouldn't be near men in general
Never trust forceful overly kinky psychopath men
Anonymous Panacea dafuq?
Yeah I thinking the same red flag...
Never trust Anonymous Panacea
Red flags:
1.) forceful
2.) in a rush for sex
3.) don’t want to ask clarifying questions
4.) try to guilt you into their kinks/fetishes
beverly ledbetter he was naive, but not careless. If he was careless, he wouldn’t have used condoms in the beginning. He was just too trusting, of a predator.
I couldnt imagine gettig a text from someone laughing saying they have hiv and that i was going to burn. I just cant process this. This is some next level shit. This is crazy i cant i have to take another walk to go cry
At least he knows he’s got it. It’s very treatable these days
Aaliyah 😍😘
girl please these dudes dont care
Yes, that pretty messed up!
@@breannedixon9712 I just read an article about hiv being cured in mice. Scientists are hoping that this treatment will work on humans.
I feel sad for this beautiful man. I would not wish this on anyone. I hope that this handsone bearded man lives a good long healthy life full of peace and joy.
Amen
@@sahkouyate435 STOP WITH THE MONOTHEISTIC MYTHOLOGY AND PROPAGANDA!

Kekoa Kaawa Why do you keep focusing on his looks? If he weren’t attractive to you would you still care?
@@Donnie-sg2cj 😂Most probably she / he / it wouldn't!
This is why I am scared of sleeping with just anyone :( I don't and this is why I never will.
Are are you sure the reason you haven't had sex with anyone has nothing to do with your outer appearance or your personality. I'm not trying to discredit you at all I'm just trying to figure out if in all honesty you being a virgin is in all truthfulness not in your control.
Mam, I never said I was a virgin lmao. I said I am scared to sleep with JUST ANYONE which is different. I've only been intimate with people I am very attracted to and have confidence but even then you will never be safe from an STD.
Yes don’t sleep with anyone if you want your life 👍🏻
C.C. Benjie i am 28 years old and i never had sex with any girl and I won’t have without marriage blood test 👍🏻👍🏻
@@iiabdullahf1699 I've only slept with my ex boyfriends who I trusted completely. On some occasional I've met guys who wanted to sleep with me like a sexual relationship and that's and I've felt like taking because it's tempting but it's not me! I don't think I could sleep with a guy who's slept with dozens of women not even with protection. I do wish I didn't sleep with those other 2 exes so I would of stayed a virgin till marriage ! So in that I am happy for you I hope you remain that way until you meet the right one.
I am so sorry about the level of cruelty that you have endured. You are a sweet Angel for helping others for speaking your pain & truth.
He brought it on himself. He knew the risks of packing men's fudge but yet he packed it anyways.
AVOID dating apps at all costs... It's almost impossible to find a good person there...
They're not designed for dating, they're for hookups at that moment. You want a relationship, go to Christian Mingle.
@@dpcisunbreakable what if you are atheist..?
@@asumpi34 find your dates in nontraditional ways. I mean, I don't subscribe to organized religion myself, so I appreciate your question.
This makes me so mad, I can’t😫 So proud of this guy for coming forward.. takes guts. Wish him all the best 💗
It is a felony to have a STD and not tell someone when you are about to have sex with someone with a STD. major prison time you can get for it.
Depends on what country or state you’re in it’s not illegal everywhere
"I've got u, u stupid!", my God! How cruel, how sick!... I am so sorry... U should have stopped in the very moment u saw he wanted to break ur initial agreement. I dont blame u, but this should be a warning for others.
How...gay...
There are tons of sexual predators out here, especially on those apps. The moment someone proposes doing something you don’t want to do, don’t brother with The negotiations.
Just say “No thanks,” and move on to the next potential guy.
Poor guy what that man did to him is appalling
He has no one to blame but himself! Silly man
How was he "deceived"?!?!
A grown ass man who should be considering his health and safety over "NSA fun" with strangers. It's a joke. 😂 A poor guy because he couldn't resist the urge to have more sex with a total stranger? This is what both gay men and the coutnry have an issue with. Passive carelessness...He let it happen and is a fuckin fool. Period.
Cowie Thomas he wanted to use protection but his partner deceived him
May this serve as a wake up call to the gay community. As a gay man I found this incredibly moving and it moved me to tears.
@@moderator-63 wrong, from 2016, 54% of all new HIV cases were men to men sexual intercourse while only 20% new cases were from women to men.
@@ENZOxDV9 not true, majority are straight and subsaharan, it may be over half for gays in Britain, but that isn't the globe
@@danielhooper502 I'm talking about britain since this video was about 2 british people
@@moderator-63 , oh waw stop spreading shit... 67% of tested gays r found to have HIV, they r the highest percentage. Take a look at CDC HIV research. "In 2016, gay and bisexual men accounted for 67% (26,844) of all HIV diagnoses" [in the US]
I’m pretty sure straight men stealth/rape by deception/take off condoms just as much and even MORE than gay men. But nice try...
Imagine knowing your parents died of that horrible disease and then making the conscious choice to be g@y. Crazy.
no one choses to be gay, no one chooses their sexuality.
Omg I'm 22 now but that guy messaged me when i was 17 on Instagram and kept trying to turn the conversation sexual and get me to go to his house 🤢
People need to stop having sex as strangers.
Its not normal , never going to be and and its disgusting.
I feel sorry for this man.
I mean, that’s a good thought but at the same time you need to realize the gay community has a lot of repressed sexual tension. Not using it as an excuse but when some people finally come out, they literally go ham because they have had to hide that part of themselves for so long. The best thing anyone can do is take the right safety precautions. That means wearing a condom and not putting your trust into those who give you multiple red flags.
Agreed! So terrifying and disgusting!!
@@shaktra1563 oh give me a break
Melissa Rambo 🤔 lol you gay? didn’t think so
@@shaktra1563 You are totally using it as an excuse. Take accountability for your behavior.
How desperate is this guy? Despite all the warnings, he was still gagging for it

I feel so sorry for you. I had a boyfriend for 6 months, he gave me deliberately genital herpes and I know that it is seen as harmless but it has destroyed a huge part of my life. It is so hard Not to give in those negative feelings like wrath and anxiety. I wish you the best.
That guy is a sick individual. Of all the victims, why him?! He was traumatized by the virus as a child and knew he never wanted to deal with his whole life...I’m happy he went to the police. Justice was served
This is why i dont want hookups.
One guy is enough even though im single😭
You look super cute.
@@EarthsGeomancer aww thank u. I think u too.😊
Same
I do believe in marriage so need for hookups👍
@d n hopefully LOL🤞
He tells you he doesn't want to use condoms, then he forced himself onto you and you decided to trust him? Wow.
Why would he do this on purpose…destroy someone else for no reason.
Whether you are gay or straight and are sexually active, I understand not everyone can or has access to, but PLEASE know your status and get on PrEP as soon as you can. People cannot be trusted.
Awe man I’m so sorry about what happened to you. Hopefully today we have some type of cure for HIV keep strong
The Mind of Louis Dr. Sebi baby
But why on earth would you continue with a guy you incist on doing unprotected? I really don't understand it.
While he did not make a choice to have unprotexted sex and it is NOT right that this man intentionally infected him, he did make the decision yo have sex with a man who insisted on having unprotected sex. Also, after the man tried to force himself on him without a condom, he made the choice to still trust him. WHY? So...yea...he should take accountability for his stupid choices too. I would have NEVER met this guy after he insists on having sex without a condom and I would have thrown him out of my house the minute he tried go force himslef on me without a condom! No matter how cute he is.
@Deja Boo we too often confuse blame and responsibility. we are all accountable to our inner voice. i imagine his warned him about a man insisting on having unprotected sex. but the jerk calling him stupid is out of line. he is not to be blamed for someone else's actions, but certainly he is responsible for his own sexual health and for the dangers of having sex with a stranger.
Deja Boo How can he love and trust someone he just meet on a gay hook up app? He’s responsible for trusting his safety in the hands of a stranger, who didn’t want to use the condom in the first place. There were warning signs and he ignored them because he wanted to get laid.
The guy had the condom on...but he ripped the tip of the condom and that is why the guy was exposed to his HIV infection.
Deja Boo he didn’t love this man! Didn’t you watch it? It was just a sexual hookup w a stranger for fks sake . Sad but he is responsible for 50% of what happened to him
No matter what the other person says if you as an individual refuse to wear a condom you are 100% at fault not the other person
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer lad.
Good job this evil filth is behind bars.
Hope this lad will stay healthy ❤️
OMG! Such a monster in human form. I pray he rots in jail. Just stick to your meds. You 'll be fine eventually.
This is so heartbreaking!😢💔
Wow such a sad story knowing what he also went through with his parents... I wonder where this gentleman is now... I hope he is living his life to the fullest... Good for him and the other victims for pursuing charges against the jerk off Darryl... He doesn't deserve freedom he is trying to kill people...I am surprised and happy to hear justice was served ❤
What a disgusting human being. This is a PERFECT example why you dont behave like this.grindr? No
You are a brave man Lenny. You may have been dealt with this unjustified crapshoot pain (and let's face it, monsters wear all different types of masks). Don't ever go round and round playing the blame game on yourself, because in life we can only do so much to protect ourselves. Unfortunately, so many monsters out there could care less and everyone around them are just pawns to get off on the high they enjoy by abusing other's. You have helped so many others. And I really believe people will remember you for what you did rather than what you have been inflicted with.
People on Twitter saying “I’ll give you the gift” you can take your gift and shove it
Reminder that this is no longer a crime in California. It used to be, but they changed it in 2017.
And wonder why Californication is 🔥🔥🔥? 🤔
This is a terrible injustice. However, remember 2 points. 1. As you said, it is no longer a death sentence go on and live healthily and happily. 2. Learn to ket it go emotionally. Holding grudges/hating takes time that you could spend on other things and it can also affect your health. Sending love. ❣
Best comment I've read on here☝️☝️
You trusted him???? My guy, You just spoke to him online and in minutes he was at your door. He was a complete stranger for fucks sake. 🤦🏽♀️
Exactly!
If someone keeps constantly saying “no condoms” or dismissing your boundaries HELL NO!!! (I been in this situation before with my ex and broke up with him I never had sex with him thank god)
To deliberately give someone a disease is horrible and the man is psycho and I’m glad he is in jail. and the abusive that followed I feel so sorry for him the guy Darryl is a nasty man.
Lenny deserves the world.
My biggest fear ! Even with my old partners I don’t trust them 😞
Jewel Victoria get on prep girl itll give u peace find an “out of the closet or ahf wellness” near you go there and ask them and they can hook u up to where u get it for free even without insurance
@@Cultsurvivor don't pack fudge
It’s shocking to see all the judgemental comments from the narcissistic psychopaths that lack compassion and empathy. I’m straight, and I don’t care if you are gay, bi, straight, trans, etc. It makes no difference to me, I value compassion, empathy, perseverance, morales. With that being said, why do the people that troll and say hurtful things do it here? You never have the self honour, self worth or self respect, to say comments like this around me in person or in public. You know what would happen right? You the trolls are looking for narcissistic supply, check out what that means?Hopefully that basic common knowledge can help you become a better person in life.

Global HIV and AIDS statistics | AVERT

8 Oct 2018 · Graphic showing 36.9 million people living with HIV globally 25% don't know their ... among girls aged 15-19 years and young women aged 15-24 years are twice as likely to be living with HIV than men.
EarthsGeomancer
People has to be carful yes, but in the heat of the moment we have all made mistakes, unfortunately he ran into evil. Fortunately there’s good treatment for the victim, likely he will live a complete life and Darrel will not
This happens more than most people think. My lover gave me HIV on purpose and said to me, "Now we'll be one forever". It may be hard to understand, but, I did not know he was mentally ill and I forgave him before he died. It's even hard for me to say "He gave me HIV". It seems more appropriate to say, "I got HIV from him". We are, after all, responsible for our own bodies. Be careful.
Why would you “completely trust” a complete stranger who made his intentions perfectly well-known that he didn’t want to use a condom?
He’s cruel, because he felt if he were honest with you, you would leave him.
May not be a death sentence but it’s still an EXTREMELY hard disease to live with because of the stigma. You’re constantly holding this secret in and don’t know who you can trust. And dating is the pits because nobody wants to risk it. 🦠
VIH+ people can date. Once you are taking meds, the virus becomes undetectable and as so, you cannot transmit it.
There something wierd with this story...he said over several occasions :"i dont wear condoms." You trusted him to wear one? Interesting
My thoughts exactly. Missing parts. Why sleep with a stranger who insisted on unprotected sex?
Demetrius L. Flagg he was horny and got caught up in ecstasy
I am so glad this man got justice. All of these men. I won't even mention that dudes name but what a piece of shit. I'm proud of this man for handling this with dignity and honor. I am so sorry this happened to you, but I am not sorry for you. God loves you.
Wow that guy that ripped it is totally not cool
Oh yeah yeah
Very sad story. That man is pure evil. He had no right.
I can’t believe it happened after 1 incident. What are the odds that this would happen to him after his parents had it? Life is CRAZY!!!
I am SO happy that I have access to PreP now since one year and that I get tested every 3 months. That is a real life changer and helps me to reduce anxiety during hookups. I never do bareback with random guys anyway, but still you never know.
Wow his parents had it then him? Sounds like a generational cycle. Jesus be with this man.
This comment section is disturbing... ‘you shouldn’t trust anyone on Grindr’, ‘he should’ve seen the forcefulness as a warning’... this man was sexually assaulted and given a life changing virus. And people are somehow laying the blame with him? Weird... all the best to this young man, a survivor.
I really hope the guy doesn't rape men in prison and pass it on.
That's why I have been practicing social distancing for years...I don't trust anybody..
I'm sorry this happened to you. In 1994, I met a guy I dated from jdate. The louse took the condom off and I didn't know until he came in me
I was afraid of my dad and I never reported it to police which I regret because he could still be doing the to others.
My heart goes out to you. I'm glad you went to police.
I don't do online dating anymore. Too dangerous.
I was with a T Girl who wanted to get on top of me and ride me without a condom...i said no and we just did oral ....i later found out from her if she wanted to date me full time we both needed to test...after some pushing on my part she told me she was HIV positive.....thank goodness i did not let her ride me...i blocked her after that...
That feelings how he talks about it 😢
You are really brave to get through this fight with the justice. He get what he deserved.
I can imagine how you feeling because i have HIV too. Undetectable also 👍🏼
But in my form it comes from my bpd impulses.. i don't get forced to get it.. it's more like i don't think that this could happen to me as well
SO PEOPLE! PLEASE STAY SAFE! IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE:
YOU ARE IMPORTANT ♥️
That's truly heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for what happened to you. Words fail me presently - I'm sorry.
I have lost over 20 very dear friends and my first lover to AIDS and so I have direct experience of the impact HIV has on people's lives. Thankfully a positive diagnosis is not a death sentence these days.
I wish you every possible happiness and every sweet blessing that life has to offer.
With utmost respect and ❤
@Roza Huber You are totally misrepresenting what I am saying - how dare you! As I stated, I lost my life-parner and over 20 friends to AIDS, and so I know only too well the impact HIV can have on lives and so DON'T lecture me herein.
@Roza Huber As for your closing comment; not only is it rude and disgusting to infer that onto another human being, it is sick beyond in the light of this video.
@Roza Huber My initial comment was "specifically" and very "personally" directed to the young man in this video who lives in the UK where HIV treatments are available free of charge to all residents herein. My comment was not addressing a wider audience or making a broader statement on the subject at hand. As for "You don't realize ....", it is profoundly presumptuous, not to mention condescending of you to assume to know what I do or "do not realise." Whilst your comments may be well intended, they are misplaced with respect to my initial response to this extremely disturbing and deeply moving video. On that note, I am leaving this thread and wish you well therein.
What a brave soul to come out and tell his story. How evil his infector was to do this to him. Lenny, I pray that God will bless you and I admire your strength and courage.
Bullshit
My heart goes out to all the victims that the monster who infected them only got life in prison. But so glad for them that their life is not a death sentence because of meds they can take to continue to live life
True, but taking pills for rest of your life no PICNIC. And someday pills could stop working...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Awareness needs to be raised about the dangers of bum sex
God bless you, I’m glad justice was served for you and the others. My father was a heroin addict who got sick from sharing needles with his older and younger brother, he passed it on to my mother too. I grew up without my father, he passed away when I was 9 in 1992, my mother passed away when I was 11 in 1994. Total of 7 people in my family passed away from aids in the 90’s up to early 2000’s. I myself dodged it, a condom was used.
Why do you want to have sex with someone you have just met?
The fact that his parents sides of the same thing is so sad smh. 🥺😭😭😭😭😭
Im glad this guy spoke up and did not allow his guilt to shame him from telling his story and stopping this guy from infecting so many other people.
You’re so strong and thank you for sharing your story to protect others. ❤️
This Man saved lives ❤️
TLDR, dont commit adultery
If someone is refusing to wear a condom, that’s someone you don’t wanna mess with. I am still so sorry for this man. He is so strong to share his story. He’s potentially saving lives.
Pack not fudge
making hiv criminal is wrong... hiv is no longer death sentence.... And any person that does have unprotected sex is responsible for his or her actions and life.... shouldn't hold any hiver guilty. This man sentenced in life prison... can and must sue the goverment for this situation he is in right now. He has to be set free... where are his lawyers?
@@sandersonbr18 someone who knows they have HIV, doesn’t disclose it to their partners, etc is a horrible human being and doesn’t deserve to live.
@@stefaniamalatesta8076 they don't have to disclose.... prejudice is all over.... hivers now being undetectable through medicine can have babies and never infect people... people should take care of themselves and never play unsafe... if you play ... that means you are responsible for yourself.... Hivers have the same rights... and what do you think how they got positive?// well, doing unprotected sex... you reap what you saw..... NO more drama queen! he who does play unsafe, will have his or hers.... for others diseases too..
@@sandersonbr18 I’m sure you’d feel differently if someone purposely gave you HIV. Grow up.
The sexual aggression without a condom was a BIG warning

Speak for yourself. You make bad choices, not all of us.
I met Darryll on Tinder because I'm anti-Grindr. Luckily, after telling him I had to sign off to do something, I came back to finding out he had gone ape shit telling me I was ignoring him and cancelling our plans. He was cute and I would have gone out with him.

Omg! When he shared that both of his parents died from HIV because of his junkie father contracting it via a contaminated needle and then passing it into his mom...that just broke my heart even more!!! 💔 This man has incredible strength 💪 and courage for not only sharing his personal story, but also for standing up to the asshole who intentionally infected him and all those other innocent individuals! Justice may not have been fully served, and more people could have gotten purposely infected, if it weren't for this amazing man!! The world needs more courageous and outspoken people like this super man!! 💕👍✌🌟
Myfoot_urneck yes It really made me 😞 what a beautiful mom.
Is died from Aids not HIV
He should have stood up for his own butthole.
Hid father died of HIV and then he caught it himself? Oh man what a curse.

Right?! My heart hurts for him!!!
That was a red flag. Him being so aggressive
I know right. How can you trust someone who was so aggressively adamant about wanting to not use condoms. Like immediately no.
Cc That right there would’ve scared the sh!t out of me 😂😂😂...But how it is now people are confused and not educated at all bc you can’t see H.I.V at all smh this isn’t the 80’s where folks was walking around looking like skin & bones dying within 6 months bc scientists didn’t invent the proper medication to curb the gestational period for Aids to manifest making it full blown. They look healthy as hell now due to the MEDICATION but in the eye area (The eyes always sink in). So me personally I always look at the major things in H.I.V patients and that’s The eye area, skin discoloration and last but not least their hair!!!! Which are the things I learned from my aunt who passed away from H.I.V some years back...Her eyes were sunk in really bad and she had pigmentation of the skin as well as her hair went from course to smooth like silky smooth from the medication they take which is real crazy & scary at the same time bc your literally watching them deteriorate”
Major red flag

@@mehmeh7567 oh my
A lesson that when people violate your boundaries multiple times, cut them off, NO more chances. After Rowe tried to force himself on him Lenny should have kicked him out. But instead Lenny gives the other guy the condom to put on himself. Let this be a lesson to others. If someone makes you uncomfortable in anyway, you tell them and they continue, that person cannot be trusted and you need to get away. My prayers for Lenny and may Mr. Rowe rot in jail.
Imagine the trauma and therapy and overall shit this guy had to go through just to be able to have the strength to give this interview. I'm sorry that happened to him and anyone else like him. 😢😞
I am not blaming him but the guy suggesting unprotected sex multiple times and even forcing himself on you unprotected should have been a cue to kick hiss ass out ASAP!!
Woke exactly and how can you trust someone you've met on tinder 😂😂
Woke exactly!
Woke you know what I was thinking the same thing. Him keep suggesting unprotected sex was a red flag 🚩. That meant RUN 🏃🏾♀️
@@yawade8797 He said Grindr, which is even worse.
hindsight is useful..he was too trusting.
"He was really adamant to have unprotected sex..." That should have been his SIGN to be done with the man!
Don't ignore red flags especially if you're going to be on the receiving end of any sexual encounter. If a person tries to get you to lower your defenses it's because they're trying to hurt you. Good people respect boundaries.
If you think something like this has happened to you please report it to the police. Don't let someone like this getaway with it.
It was a huge red flag, if he keeps insisting once you said no, it means he's gonna try to do what he wants anyways, he doesn't respect you.
My own brother is s covert narcissist, I have never met anyone who does cruel things as him and he's capable of doing something similar to this. These people do exist
Yes they do!! 💯💙
Narcissists will literally try to kill you then try to make you think it was your fault, it's insane
Sad but true.
My brother is one too. And my ex... that's why hes an ex
making hiv criminal is wrong... hiv is no longer death sentence.... And any person that does have unprotected sex is responsible for his or her actions and life.... shouldn't hold any hiver guilty. This man sentenced in life prison... can and must sue the goverment for this situation he is in right now. He has to be set free... where are his lawyers?
I had a conversation with him on Grindr years ago wanting to hook up with me. I got a barrage of comments when I didn't come round as soon as I could and thought he was a little of his rocker. I decided not to meet and block him and can't help but think what would have happened if I'd met with him... ,
True story??
@@marcosjuarez1490 yes. I lived in Edinburgh at the time.
You would have been victimized by the sodomite.
@Glen Coco deadass?
That's really gay
I was in a relationship with someone who withdrew the fact that he had HIV until he got meningitis. For whatever messed up reason, he was trying to infect me with HIV, although I was never infected; we were together for almost two years. It makes me furious knowing that such people exist. I wish I could comfort this man and tell him everything is going to be ok.
R K ok?
Omg I'm glad ur ok though!
That was very inconsiderate and selfish of him. I’m glad you are well and that he didn’t change your life drastically. I can’t believe how judgmental people are as this can happen to anyone. Even married couples have infected their spouses. People need to stop being high and mighty and practice more empathy. Take care of yourself
Looks like your sick ex didn't know that he cannot infect others while is is on meds. If he didn't use meds then would probably get it, if you guys did raw which you probably did.
Bloody hell! Was he on treatment for the HIV?
The first time he forced himself on me...his a$$ would've been out the door
Some people are just soo sick ! How could he do such a thing😢
Because he let him.
@Orange Blossom Absolute bullshit. This guy stated Rowe asked him for unsafe sex. He said he didn't do that. At that point he should have walked away, said no, he had the choice. But he didn't. His choice. Rowe then attempted to enter him without a condom - at this point everything should have stopped. Indeed we're at the point of illegality. But he decided, HE DECIDED, to carry on. He stated he GAVE HIM the condom and said 'I'm trusting you' - when Rowe had proven he was not to be trusted. He let him put on the condom, he didn't supervise or check the condom was on and then let him enter him. Moreover, he could have felt that it was an unsheathed penis - there is a difference. He made all the choices, decisions to go through with it, he abnegated responsibility for himself. He let it happen. He is not Rowe's victim.
I do believe however, given his history he'd been looking for a surrogate father to finish off the job his father started on his mother. This guy is as mentally ill, in his own way as Rowe.
Although I am sympathetic to his plight, the man told him in word and in deed that he was not going to use protection. Please pay attention and heed the signs of predatory behavior.
He stealthed him and didn’t tell him until 2 weeks later.....
Most people would have stayed silent but thank your for reporting it to the police. Wrongdoers should be published.
"Published"?
What did he tell the cops? That guy packed my fudge and I said he could!
This happened to my best friend. He found out after his ex partner died of “pancreas cancer”. Years later someone told him it was because he was HIV positive. People like that should be arrested.
Euthanized
Awe man! He should’ve followed his instincts. Subconsciously he got a bad energy and aura from that guy and went against it.
Depending on vibes and feelings are NOT protection. Always insist partner wearing condoms. Better safe the life time of regret...
Paul Masters Johnson but he did use a condom? The guy ripped it off secretly. He should have just not had sex with the guy as he was already giving off red flags
But he decided on gay sex and now everyone feels sorry for this homosexual?
Men don't think rationally when they are horny.
Lenny you are without a doubt a very brave and courageous human being!!
I pray for the cure one day for people like this and many more individuals. Things will get better.
Trey Bandsaw Phramaceutics don’t want a cure! They earn more money by selling médicament
@@beatricedevarenne2621 it's sad. But we have to demand it. Hold these people accountable. We can do it!
I think a vaccine is more likely than a cure.
@@Soul56293 I don't know or I don't care if you're trolling but if you're not and you genuinely don't know this then this is kind of how it goes, cure is an umbrella term for anything that treats you of any sort of ailment. Surgery could be a cure. Penicillin can be a cure, and maybe rx glasses, prescriptions, you name it, well all be you actually did! Vaccine would definitely be a cure! So yes, there might be a vaccine! But, it could also be CRISPR-Cas9 injected with saline very similar to how we are given vaccines but, just a little bit different so technically would be named something after the individual that perfected it more than likely or whatever it gets named. But, that could very much be a cure where it can rewrite our genome to just naturally have a resistance to it all together so we can't catch it at all. But, like a lot of things, there has to be a lot of hardcore study on this so we will see what happens. 💛
There is a cure but the money is in the medicine. It's sad
