DripZone
Here in the DripZone, we know that playing around sexually can expose us to a bunch of not-so friendly “critters” . These critters come in many shapes, forms and get entry to our bodies in different ways.
DZ is about knowing how best to protect yourself and those you have sex with from these sexual critters and also establish a sexual health routine that works for you.
That may include knowing your HIV status, what STD’s are you most at risk for, condom use and partner negotiated sexual encounters.
We’ll answer your questions and thoughts on STDs, HIV, Hepatitis and more. We will also share our favorite links and best-practices for sexually active gay men.
A Men’s Plan for Sexual Health
If You Use It – Test It! FInd places to test for STD & hiv - www.HIVtest.org

HIV Positive? ASK your provider is he/she is testing for all of these when you have your labs done.
TALK to your partners. Find out if they are testing routinely.
TELL your sex partners if you test positive for an STD.
