Some Final Words…
This is going to be my last posting since the website is soon ending its interactive life. We’ve covered a lot of ground, from experiences in the baths and people’s reactions when poz people “come out,” to the etiquette of asking and telling, how stigma, pozphobia and (recently) criminalization produce silences, and the different assumptions that poz and neg guys bring to sex in the middle of that silence. Finally, we mused about poz pride as a strategy to fight pozphobia, and there was a discussion about whether talk about poz pride and attention to poz guys might make being poz cool — and therefore encourage people to want to seroconvert.
I happened to be reading the Denver Principles as a result of some other work I was doing. They were written in 1983 and were the first time poz people spoke out with our own voices and demanded that we not be treated as victims, and that we be respected and included in all aspects of the fight against the epidemic. When I read down past the stirring opening paragraphs, however, I came across the statement that is often overlooked, that all poz people have an ethical responsibility to disclose to their sexual partners.
Some of the reaction to this discussion and especially discussions around criminalization has been that poz people are projecting themselves as victims in order to cover “irresponsible” behaviour. That in fact we are avoiding the responsibilities that come with the rights the Denver Principles demanded. We have countered that pozphobia and discrimination often make it difficult to disclose. Sometimes our arguments have made me feel uncomfortable. I think that we have to reaffirm our responsibility to “come out” if anything we are doing puts someone else at risk. What’s more, I think this debate has also made clear an added responsibility for poz people — to fight against pozphobia, to ensure the risks and consequences of disclosing are not so great as to prevent anyone from doing it.
I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this discussion, and I encourage all of you to continue with your friends, families, and fuck buddies.

Good post Tiim. I echo Bob’s comment, in that it’s been great working with you, and everyone else for that matter. I’ve learned a lot.
March 1, 2009 03:25 PM
I recently reread the historic Denver Principles and noted the stance on disclosure.
To me the important thing today is promoting options for poz folk that protect others from risk. That can include disclosure, or safe play, or both. From my POV, all three choices must be seen as equally legitimate.
February 27, 2009 07:49 PM
It’s been great working with you, Tim.
