But in Berlin, they're now claiming to have cured a man with AIDS through stem cells.

Tina,

Did you read the article? It states there is risk. There is ALWAYS risk. Especially if you are dating HIV infected people. But it specifically points out that the documented risk is for "many times" less for BBBJ, "extremely low" for DATY and only ONE case documented for rim jobs.

Sure the THEORETICAL risk is always higher. But the theoretical risk is always higher in any activity, including COVERED sex and oral.

Most people are incredibly bad at assessing risk.

In the three months after 9/11, an estimated 725 people died because they were scared to fly and chose to drive.

dating someone with or with out a previous life can still get a cast iron skillet tossed at you during PMS

All true, but in the end, each must find his/her own comfort level based upon his/her own risk avoidance curve. And we should openly accept each person's choice.

If safety were the actual issue, then the safest route would be to quit being a provider. UPS is hiring.

I accept choices made by others. I'm not too concerned with the safety issue. I believe it to be rather small. It is about the comfort level and also with me it's YMMV. Depending on the "situation" as it were. LOL.
Don't ask because I'm not elaborating!

ok first if you work at ups there are risk there too but my problem is that most condoms don't cover my whole dick anyway so is just the hole in the tip of my dick that you have to worry about if so can't i just put some tape on it.

My point is that there are risks involved in any activity. I agree that we all have our threshhold of what we will accept. But I'm tiredof people trying to shove their version of reality down everyone's throats to justify their decisions regarding their occupational hazards.

Look. I drive over 40,000 miles/year & fly many, many more. Statistically speaking my risk of dying in a car accident are off the charts. But I'm not going to tell you not to drive just because my risk is higher than yours. And I'm not going to preach to you if you choose not to wear a seat belt. Even if it is statistically proven that it's more dangerous not to. If I wear seat belt, or don't, it's my choice. And you are MUCH MORE likely to be injured not wearing a seatbelt than you will not wearing a rubber during oral (or even FS). But dar be it from me to tell you to wear a seatbelt. You're an adult. Make your own choices & live with the consequences.
