Asperger's and HIV

Post Reply New Topic

I found myself in some awkward situations due to my being very poor at reading and offering appropriate social cues. I won't go into details.

As for risky behavior, I always did everything in my power to avoid risk-taking, so the question confuses me.

Age1600,

that's evil.... If he has a rabbit, you should boil it for him.

(hope you didn't take offense).

Don't you feel unfairly treated?

Yes, of course i do, nothing i can do about it now unfortunely

maybe because if they do ever have a chance to get some p**** they probably will not be carrying a condom with them because they never expect to get any, then they might just be so happy to be gettin some they will f**k without a condom

Yes.
However if they quit trying they would quit being taken advantage of. But then that would be giving up.
I can see anybody of naive disposition being a victim.

Why do you think so many children are targeted?

We dont know any better here and we cant learn. The alternative is what many have done here and stay single. Don't risk it.

'tis true. I've been in very similar situations. I think my downfall is that I can't really make decisions for myself, so I don't speak up for myself much, then I'm also naive and tend to believe whatever anyone tells me.

So I wind up going along with things, knowing that I don't really want to (or at times, just literally not knowing whether or not I do), but am too intimidated to just say anything, so I get myself feeling almost "trapped" once I realize what is going on. Either that, or the few times I do speak up, it takes me so long to sort it out in my mind and make a decision that it's far too late.

My first 3 relationships were probably all the stupidest "decisions" that I've ever made. I don't know if I would necessarily call it a decision or not, but I went along with things just because I didn't have the slightest clue what I was getting into, and of course, upon meeting someone you can't necessarily predict how they will be if you aren't able to pick up on "warning" signs of any sort.

They all said they were nice guys, and I believed it. The same old "I would never hit a woman", etc., and I believed it without even thinking twice. After going through it, I've discovered if a guy says that early in a relationship, lol, it's most likely not a good sign...

I'm in a great relationship now

i think when you consider the question differently. firstly heterosexuals are very low risk for hiv infection. i think about .5% in the usa. however in urban areas among gay men the numbers are quite high about 25% so if you were a young gay male w ASD i think its very possible you could be marginalized ( its a very tough competitive gay culture out there) at which point your asd would actually increase your chances.

i believe this is what happened to me.
