Poz Parties: Understanding these Gatherings for HIV-Positive Men

What are Poz Parties?

Poz Parties (Poz Party / Poz-Only)

A poz party is a sanctuary. It’s a space of absolute freedom for HIV-positive guys who are tired of the mental burden, secrecy, and condoms. It’s a place where, for once, you don’t have to justify yourself, where your status is not a problem but the entry ticket. The atmosphere is electric, because everyone is there for the same thing: bareback sex, without the damn condom, without fear and without shame. It’s the place where you can finally let go, get filled by another poz guy, feel his warm cum inside you knowing that you are in the same boat. It’s a form of communion, a brotherhood sealed in the exchange of fluids, an intimacy that seronegative people will never understand. It’s the freedom to enjoy without thinking about HIV.

What are the health considerations in Poz Parties?

But this freedom has its own rules. Even if we are all in the same boat for HIV, we must not forget that other nasty things circulate, and they can be much more annoying to deal with on a daily basis. Syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C… These infections don’t care about your status. They can not only ruin your life, but also impact the effectiveness of your anti-HIV treatment. This is why, even in these temples of bareback, the most serious guys continue to get regularly tested for everything else. True freedom is to have sex knowingly, by protecting your overall health, not just by ignoring the risks.

How are Poz Parties organized?

These parties are often plans shared discreetly, among initiates, to guarantee everyone’s safety and discretion. They are proof that a fulfilling and uninhibited poz sexuality is possible. Sharing good addresses and good plans among concerned guys, that’s also solidarity, so think of us!

Are Poz Parties related to bug chasers?

UPDATE: is a poz party necessarily for bug chasers? No, but then the rules of the party must be clear.
