TRUTH - Sexual RISK factors
REDUCING YOUR SEXUAL RISK
HIV can be spread by having unprotected sexual contact with an HIV-positive person. Unprotected means sex (anal, oral, or vaginal) without barrier protection, like a condom.
Some of the ways to reduce your risk of getting HIV through sexual contact include:
Don't have sex. Sex (anal, oral, or vaginal) is the main way that HIV is transmitted. If you aren't having sexual contact, you are 100% protected from getting HIV in that way.
Be monogamous. Being monogamous means: 1) You are in a sexual relationship with only one person and 2) Both of you are having sex only with each other. Having only one sex partner reduces your risk of getting HIV—but monogamy won't protect you completely unless you know for sure that both you and your partner are not infected with HIV.
Get tested and know your partners status: Knowing your own status is important for both your health and the health of your partner. Talking about your HIV status can be difficult or uncomfortable—but it's important to start the discussion BEFORE you have sex.
You need to ask your sexual partners:
Have you been tested for HIV?
When was the last time you had an HIV test?
What were the results of your HIV test?
If you have more than one sex partner, the CDC recommends that you be tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) every 3-6 months.
Use condoms consistently and correctly. To reduce your risk of getting HIV or other STIs, you must use a new condom with every act of anal, oral, or vaginal sex. You also have to use condoms correctly, to keep them from slipping off or breaking.
You have to use the right kind of condom too. Latex condoms are highly effective against HIV. (If you are allergic to latex, you can use polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms.) Lambskin condoms will NOT protect you from HIV, because the virus is small enough to slip through lambskin.
You should always use a water-based lubricant when you use a condom for anal or vaginal sex. Lubricants reduce friction and help keep the condom from breaking. Do NOT use an oil-based lubricant (like petroleum jelly, hand lotion, or cooking oil). Oil-based lubricants can damage condoms and make them less effective.
Both male condoms and female condoms will help protect you against HIV and other STIs. To learn more about how to use a condom correctly, see the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; Tips For Using Condoms And Dental Dams.
Condoms do not provide 100% protection against all STIs—but you are ALWAYS safer using a condom! You can get certain STIs, like herpes or HPV, from contact with your partners bare skin, even if one of you is wearing a condom. But condoms lessen the risk of infection even for those types of STIs.
Condoms with the spermicide Nonoxynol-9 are NOT recommended for STI/HIV prevention. Nonoxynol-9 (N9) irritates rectal and vaginal walls, which increases the chance of HIV infection if infected body fluids do come in contact with them.
For more information, see CDCs How To Use A Condom Consistently And Correctly.
RISKY BUSINESS
All sexual practices can be made "safer"—meaning you can lower your risk of transmitting/contracting STIs and HIV—but some activities are much safer than others. Here's a list of sexual activities and the risks they pose for transmitting HIV or other STIs:
Receptive Anal Sex (Bottoming)
The odds of getting HIV from bottoming; without a condom are higher than any other sexual behavior.
HIV has been found in pre-cum (pre-ejaculatory fluid), so having your partner pull out before he cums (ejaculates) may not decrease your risk.
Do not douche before sex. Douching irritates the lining of your rectum and this can increase your risk for getting HIV. If you are concerned about cleanliness, clean the rectum gently, with a soapy finger and water.
If you are bottoming, always use plenty of water-based lubricant with a latex, polyurethane, or polyisoprene condom. This will help to minimize damage to the rectum during sex and to prevent the transmission of STIs (including HIV).
Insertive Anal Sex (Topping)
Topping without a condom is considered a high-risk behavior for transmission of HIV and other STIs.
Your partner may have sores or other signs of infection in his/her rectum that you can't see. If you have tears or cuts on your penis, HIV can enter your body this way.
It is possible for blood and other fluids containing HIV to infect the cells in the urethra of your penis.
Receptive Vaginal Sex (Risks For Women)
Vaginal sex without a condom is considered a high-risk behavior for HIV infection.
During vaginal sex, HIV is transmitted from men to women much more easily than from women to men.
The risk for transmission is increased if you currently have another STI or vaginal infection. Many STIs and vaginal infections are silent—meaning you don't have any symptoms, so you may not be aware that you are infected.
Many barrier methods that are used to prevent pregnancy (diaphragm, cervical cap, etc.) DO NOT protect against STIs or HIV infection because they still allow infected semen to come in contact with the lining of your vagina.
Oral or hormonal contraceptives (i.e., birth control pills) DO NOT protect against STIs or HIV infection.
Female condoms DO prevent against HIV infection, if you use them correctly and consistently.
Insertive Vaginal Sex (Risks For Men)
Unprotected vaginal sex is less risky for the male partner than the female partner—but there is still a risk that the male partner can contract HIV and other STIs.
Some STIs are silent, meaning that a woman may have an STI but not have any symptoms. Your partner may not know she has an infection, so it is important to use a condom.
Use a new condom with a water-based lubricant every time you have insertive vaginal sex to prevent STIs, including HIV.
Performing Oral Sex On A Man
You can get HIV by performing oral sex on your male partner, although the risk is not as great as it is with unprotected anal or vaginal sex.
You are also at risk for getting other STIs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Your risk of contracting HIV is reduced if your male partner does not ejaculate (cum) in your mouth.
Your risk of HIV is reduced if you do not have open sores or cuts in your mouth.
Using condoms for oral sex reduces your risk of getting HIV or other STIs.
Receiving Oral Sex If You Are A Man
There is less associated risk for HIV infection with this sexual activity.
Your risk of HIV is reduced if you do not have open sores or cuts on your penis.
There is a risk of contracting other STIs, including herpes.
Performing Oral Sex On A Woman
HIV has been found in vaginal secretions, so there is a risk of contracting HIV from this activity.
It is possible to contract other STIs from this activity.
There are effective barriers you can use to protect you from contact with your partners vaginal fluids. You can cut open an unlubricated condom and lay it over your partners vulva. You can also use dental dams or non-microwaveable plastic wrap to protect against HIV and other STIs. (Plastic wrap that can be microwaved will not protect you—viruses are small enough to pass through that type of wrap.)
For more information on dental dams, please see the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Tips For Using Condoms And Dental Dams.
Receiving Oral Sex If You Are A Woman
The risk for contracting HIV this way is significantly lower than for unprotected vaginal sex.
There is still a risk of contracting other STIs, like herpes, and bacterial infections.
You should use a barrier method (cut-open unlubricated condom, dental dam, or non-microwaveable plastic wrap) over your vulva to protect yourself from STIs.
Oral-Anal Contact (Rimming)
The risk of getting HIV by rimming is very low—but this kind of sexual contact comes with a high risk of transmitting hepatitis A and B, parasites, and other bacteria to the partner who is doing the rimming.
You should use a barrier method (cut-open unlubricated condom, dental dam, or non-microwaveable plastic wrap) over the anus to protect against infection.
Digital Stimulation (Fingering)
There is a very small risk of getting HIV from fingering your partner if you have cuts or sores on your fingers and your partner has cuts or sores in the rectum or vagina.
Use medical-grade gloves and lots of water-based lubricant to eliminate this risk.
Sex Toys
Using sex toys can be a safe practice, as long as you do not share your toys with your partner.
If you share your toy with your partner, use a condom on the toy, if possible, and change the condom before your partner uses it.
Clean your toys with soap and water, or a stronger disinfectant if indicated on the cleaning instructions. It is important to do this after each use!
SAFER-SEX ACTIVITIES
These activities carry no risk of HIV transmission:
Non-sexual massage
Casual or dry kissing
Masturbation (without your partners body fluids)
Frottage—also known as dry humping or body-to-body rubbing
You can still contract other STIs, like herpes, HPV, or pubic lice (crabs) if you have bare skin-to-skin contact with your partner.
CIRCUMCISION
There has been a lot of research over the past few years about the role male circumcision plays in preventing HIV infection. Many of these studies have indicated that male circumcision can decrease the male partners risk of contracting HIV during heterosexual vaginal sex. In 2007, the World Health Organization reported that male circumcision reduced by 60% the transmission of HIV from women to men in three randomized, controlled studies in Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa.
There is much less available data for men who have sex with men and how circumcision might affect HIV transmission through anal sex. In addition, recent studies show that circumcision does NOT protect women from contracting HIV from male partners.

SO WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT GETTING TESTED THEN HAVING SEX WITH EVERYONE BAREBACK IS A WAY TO AVOID DISEASE?? I'LL WAIT.........
At what point do you think about STDs or HIV?
At what point do you think about STDs or HIV?
1. when you are looking at someone's photos
2. when you are viewing their videos looking at their sex practices
3. when you stop by the liquor store to get your drink on - condoms are almost always sold there
4. when you get to their hotel, home, etc
5. when you are in foreplay
6. when you are getting undressed
7. when you are about to penetrate
8. when it's over and you didn't use protection
9. when you are about to have sex with a new person and remember your last encounter was bareback
10. when your pee burns when it comes out
11. when you are on the way to the doctor to get tested
12. when they are drawing your blood / urine praying you are clean
13. WHEN IT'S TOO LATE !!!
I get it nobody really wants to focus on what could COME OF a sexual experience other than pleasure, however as more and more cases of HIV pop up every year WHEN exactly are you going to consider the consequences of your actions if not RIGHT FROM THE GET GO!!!
Please be SAFE - WRAP THAT SHIT UP as if you were trying to avoid freezer burn on your meat cuz let me tell ya the other type of BURN you could get could be a lot worse.
The reason I now insist on CONDOM USE with everyone is because I THINK ABOUT STDS & HIV all the time and short of never having sex again, the next best thing is to use a condom.
There is only ONE person you can trust for your SEXUAL SAFETY and that's YOURSELF ;) so remember if you get infected by someone else you actually infected yourself because you MADE THE CHOICE to go unprotected.

Where does your state rank??
The 10 States With The Highest Aids/HIV Rate (Is Your State On The List?
With the United States breaking the 250 million mark with diagnosed STD’s, it is important to be cautious what you are doing and who you are doing it with. Although that statistic may not shock you, one that will is that close to 5%of these STD rates are diagnosed from children 13 and under.
check the list of the top 10 states with Highest Aids/HIV Rate, and make sure to discuss what we need to do to help lower the amount of cases.
(#’s of AIDS/HIV Diagnoses are based off of one year only*)
Puerto Rico #10
32,057 Diagnosed cases
406 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
32,463
Although Puerto Rico may not be technically a state, it is U.S. property and a very popular vacation spot. However, with over 32,000 people diagnosed with Aids/HIV, you might want to think twice before having that vacation one night stand with a local.
Maryland #9
35,395 Diagnosed Cases
330 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
35,725
Slowly rising close to 7% each year in diagnoses, Maryland does not seem to be slowing down in the HIV/Aids rate. Baltimore being one of the highest rated cities in America brings the majority of these statistics to Maryland.
Illinois #8
37,592 Diagnosed Cases
288 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
37,880
Many who were surprised Chicago, Illinois didn’t make the list for Top 10 Worst Cities won’t be surprised that it made this list. With Chicago contributing close to 72% of Illinois’ HIV/Aids rate; it is safe to say that Illinois is a state that needs to work on a little bit of everything.
Pennsylvania #7
37,842 Diagnosed Cases
375 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
38,217
Since Pennsylvania is such a large state, of course there is going to be a higher population infected. However, the fact that close to 400 children under the age of 13 were diagnosed within 1 year cannot be justified. With over 58% of the HIV rate in Pennsylvania being African American, is it time to target the urban areas?
Georgia #6
38,054 Diagnosed Cases
245 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
38,300
Between a bad education system and one of the fastest growing cities in America, it is no surprise that Georgia has made this list. With Atlanta ranking in the top 3 highest STD rate cities in America, the fast growing city and state are looking to move up on the list unless procedures are applied.
New Jersey #5
53,756 Diagnosed Cases
801 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
54,557
Maybe I was wrong about the size thing, because even though Pennsylvania is a large state, its neighbor Jersey which is significantly smaller has a higher HIV/AIDS rate. Already criticized for having one of if not the worst city in America, Jersey is the smallest state with some of the largest HIV numbers. This makes Jersey’s ratio higher than any other state in the country.
Texas #4
76,674 Diagnosed Cases
396 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
77,070
Texas is no stranger to this list and has been on it for the last decade. With major cities like Houston, Austin, and Dallas high on the individual city list, it is no wonder that once they all come together Texas ranks number 4.
Florida #3
116,041 Diagnosed Cases
1,571 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
117,612
Definitely a popular spring break spot for young college and high school students, Florida is a state that many should be cautious in. Breaking the 100,000 mark this year of diagnosed cases, many people in Florida have been taking these rising numbers into perspective when having a little spring fling.
California #2
159,606 Diagnosed Cases
687 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
160,293
The most populated state would be assumed number one but has come in at number two. With over 160,000 diagnosed cases of HIV/Aids in just one year, it is a scary thought to think how many people have been diagnosed within the last 5 years. However, I am sure that many of you are not surprised by California’s appearance on this list.
New York #1
190,363 Diagnosed Cases
2,390 Diagnosed under the age of 13
Total
192,753
With one of the most populated and highly immigrated cities in the world, it’s obvious why New York has been named number 1 on the list for the 3rd year straight. However, an unpleasant surprise is that close to 2,400 children under the age of 13 have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDs. That is almost twice times any other state in the United States, and these numbers continuously grow every year. Smh….

Q. What is your age? and how tall are you?
A. I am currently 45 born in 1969. I am 5'5" tall weighing about 145lbs, 36b chest, 30" waist and 40" hips. I wear a size 8-9.5 shoe depending on the way it is made (sneakers are almost always 9.5 because I like them to be comfortable)
Q. Where do you live?
A. I live in the Bay area of California.
Q. Is Porn your only job?
A. NO ;) Porn is a part time gig for me, I only shoot about every 2 months. I own my own cleaning/organizing homes and offices business, I also do seasonal catering, and I do freelance administrative service. I am looking to become a producer in porn and get behind the camera instead of in front of it.
Q. Do you travel?
A. YES ! I do travel however not on my own dime, unless I have plenty of 'work' to compensate for my trip. If you want me in your city then my expenses (hotel & air) must be paid. If you come to my city, we can do a scene however I will OWN IT or else you pay my scene fee.

Q. What makes you the master?
A. I have a passion to please a man orally that is unmatched and a desire to be the best he has ever had. I have not come across a penis yet that I have not been able to throat to the balls.
Q. So you like black dick?
A. For me it's more than just dick, I love, honor and admire black men in general and it takes more than just a dick to interest me.
Q. Are you a real redhead?
A. I am definitely a real redhead and the fire in my soul comes out in the passion I have for everything I do in my life.
Q. Since sex is your business, do you enjoy sex when it is not work and how do you separate the two things?
A. I do enjoy sex outside of porn, although my porn vids are normally done with my friends, lovers or boyfriends, it is still a performance for the camera. I give my all to everything I do no matter what it is, the difference for me is of course first the camera isn't on, and if anything else I am more passionate with my partners off set than I am on just because there is no holds barred and I don't have to worry about getting the right angle of a shot.
Q. What attracts you so much to black men?
A. I admire black men who spite what society has thrust upon them based on the color of their skin they still stand tall and say I am a MAN see me for who I am not what you think I should be. I admire a black man who has come through struggle and become a better person instead of fallen to what is expected of him. I admire a black man for not being the 'stereotypical' thug, banger, dealer, pimp, servant to white couples for what lacks in their relationships, Ebonics speaking street punk thinking he has what every black man wants.
Q. What are your turn offs and turn ons?
A. Turn offs: bad breath, body odor unless just finished a workout than i love to see ya sweat, excessive body hair, ignorance, fat bodies, limp dicks, rudeness, disrespecting me, asking me for money, laziness, bad manners, liars, cheaters, dishonesty, politically correct people
Turn ons: great smile, suckable lips, rockhard abs, intelligence, nice ASS, bedroom eyes, ability to have a real conversation, stamina no matter it be in bed or in gym or in life, a man who can cook, well rounded, loves to be outdoors, someone into physical fitness and eating healthy, a go getter, a man with goals and ambitions, a man with patience and understanding for those who cannot do for themselves (the handicapped/disabled)
Q. What is the biggest dick you have had?
A. I deep throat a 13" BBC a long time ago, have lost touch with the guy over the years :(
Q. Why do you love anal so much?
A. WOW, well it's a totally different experience from vaginal. The sensation from anal sex takes me to a new level of ecstasy. It's exciting, nasty, freaky and taboo all at once.
Q. Do you hate your own race? do you want to see them erased?
A. I always find this one to be ODD considering if I hated my own race, than would HATE MYSELF, my family, my offspring, my friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.....which I DO NOT hate any of them. Being with black men is a CHOICE it has nothing to do with wanting to see the white race eradicated or being a racist, in fact I think that people who only see the world through the color of someone's skin are RACISTS that people who live an interracial life are the furthest from racist there is.
Q. How did you get started in porn? and how long have you been doing it?
A. I have been doing it for almost 6 years. I got started with ShaundamX, he knew of me from a site called adultspace and had asked me for a couple years to shoot with him. I told him I was waiting for my divorce to be final before I got into it. He said I was a natural for porn and would do very well, so when my divorce was final in September I met with Shaun in December and we did 4 scenes that first weekend, then over the course of the next six months did almost 30 scenes together.
Q. Why do you do condom only now? you have videos without condoms from years ago.
Let me first make this very clear, I have shot with TWO and ONLY TWO Amateur Male Talent without condoms (Shaundam about 25 scenes over a course of 2 years, and Danny Blaq ONE SCENE in 2010- would have done a 2nd scene with Danny for XES entertainment but he could NOT GET IT UP so they called in a replacement talent and those two shoots were both done with a condom) Personally, I have found that you cannot trust anyone but yourself when it comes to your own sexual safety. A LOT of amateur porn male talent are on swinger sites having sex with wives and single women WITHOUT CONDOMS and some don't even require them to provide test results. I know for fact the test is only good the MINUTE it is done and not a minute longer, that just because it didn't show up the minute you tested doesn't mean you don't have it, it just means it wasn't apparent in your blood or urine yet. There are also stds in the throat and anus that do not show up on blood and urine tests, and in the porn industry they DO NOT SWAB the throat or anus as a normal way of doing things, they also DO NOT test for all stds, only gonorrhea, hiv and chlamydia. STDs take 9-90 days to show in a blood/urine test, so if you get tested within the 9 days after contracting it, you may show negative but in fact have it and then go off infecting others unknowingly. HIV can take anywhere from 6 months to 10 years to detect, and someone can also be a carrier of it yet never have it. Men also are the one's spreading the HIV virus and let's face FACTS there are a lot of MALE TALENT on the DL having GAY SEX just to make a few extra dollars and doing it without condoms. I trust NO piece of paper, however I do trust a piece of rubber. No where in STD/HIV safety does it say that GETTING TESTED IS PREVENTATIVE so anyone living with the assumption that just because they get tested makes them INVINCIBLE to disease is living a fools paradise.
Q. Are you into women or strictly dickly?
A. I am very BI actually, I just don't play with overweight unhealthy women, bbws, ssbbws or wives of white men just looking for black cock. I am with women with my same standards for themselves and for their partners, which in the amateur industry is INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to find. In amateur porn there are WAY TOO MANY overweight women being referred to as THICK, CHUBBY, VOLUPTUOUS, etc..... again I do not admire LAZINESS and being overweight is a CHOICE. I used to be 225lbs and that was my choice to let myself go to that extreme, it was also my choice to change my life, get healthy and now I workout about 10 hours a week and still have a LONG WAY TO GO to achieve my body ideal.
Q. Do you like younger men? or does age matter?
A. I prefer GROWN men, I have met many men in their 40's who are more immature than my 18yr old son, and I have met men in their 20's who are more mature than some men my age. Age is just a number, however if you are not old enough to BUY A DRINK than you are definitely too young. I do PREFER men to be 30 and up, but I have made exceptions many times.
Q. Do you swallow? creampie? facials? etc.... what is your favorite place to get cum on?
A. Not sure that I have a favorite. I don't do creampies because I use condoms so that in itself takes that away. I don't swallow because that is where the risk in catching stds from oral actually is higher. Facials are fine, although if I am doing numerous scenes, I prefer it to be the last scene so I don't have to continue to redo my makeup every time ;) I DO NOT LIKE cum in my hair or my eyes, you can actually get eye infections from cum in your eye and you can also get an STD from cum in your eye, so fellas WORK ON YOUR AIM lol.
Q. Group sex? yes or no?
A. The more the merrier ;) I love having multiple men to play with. the most I have done was a 6 man gangbang and had no problems making them all cum twice over the course of three hours than sending them home and taking care of my 'bf aka cameraman' for an hour after i showered, freshened up my face, brushed my teeth and changed into something sexy for him. In my 20's I actually had an ALL FEMALE ORGY, I was a stripper and we were all hanging out one night drinking and having fun next thing you knew we were all naked and exploring one another bodies.
Q. What was your favorite scene?
A. I loved the scene I did with Shaundam called Exercise Anal just because it was different.
Q. Who was your favorite costar?
A. I don't have a favorite, everyone I have shot with has had something different to offer me.
Q. What is your biggest regret so far in porn?
A. Flying 3k miles to Ft Laud Florida, May 2014 to have my time and talents wasted on men who produce FAKE CUM porn and who disrespected me afterwards. If I could do it over I would have never went on that trip, the best thing I got was a SUNBURN ;)

Q. In your scenes who was the BIGGEST ?
A. He isn't a porn star, his name in my videos is 'ilovefacials' he was definitely the BIGGEST I have ever shot with, bigger than Richard Mann and bigger than Jonathan Jordan, who were the 2nd and 3rd biggest in my scenes. I have experienced bigger than all of them outside porn and outside my scenes. Not all BIG DICKS want to be in porn ;)
Q. Do you use special lenses in your videos to make men look larger than they are?
A. You refer to the 'fisheye' lense and NO I DO NOT. I have shot with some men who CLAIM they are 11" MONSTER COCKS and in their main stream videos they 'look huge' but when they were in front of my camera a Nikon with NO SPECIAL LENSE their cocks were NOT as BIG AS THEY CLAIM. I do not try to fool my fans with special lenses.
Q. Would you ever do a scene with a 'shemale'?
A. That would be a NO.....definitely not interested in that.
Q. Would you do scenes with a gay porn star?
A. I am NOT interested in GAY MEN, and YES if you are having sex with the SAME SEX by definition of homosexual you are GAY, there is no separation in the definition of it that says with the exception of GAY PORN. GAY porn is still GAY SEX, so no if you put your dick in any part of a man than I am NOT interested in having it in me.
Q. Have you ever been with other races?
A. YES, I have in my lifetime dated numerous races however I have always been attracted to Black men, being born and raised in the South kept me from dating or marrying a black man, but since my separation from my husband almost 9 years ago I have dated ONLY black men and have no want to date outside of that race.
Q. What's your favorite color?
A. Teal (that bluish green color, my eyes change to that color sometimes)
Q. What's your favorite food?

Q. Why are you single?
A. More choice than not. I have been engaged twice in the past 8 years, however it didn't work out due to distance between us and that I am unable to move from where I live at the moment. I am very picky and look for many things in a partner, until I find them I am willing to stay single and happy.
Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?
A. being lied to, being stood up, wasting my time, people who only have text conversations but never talk on the phone. Men who can't get their dicks hard. Men who expect women to do everything while all they do is provide dick. Men who produce fake cum porn and think they are REAL porn stars. Men who think they are special just because they are COMMON dicks for wives of white men not smart enough to see they are nothing more than a servant/slave to the white man. FAT WOMEN who call anyone a HATER who doesn't lie to them saying they are 'thick'. Lazy unmotivated people with no ambition or goals.
Q. Do you do custom videos?
A. I have done a couple custom videos for men I am involved with, so it depends on what is being asked of me as to whether or not i will do it.
Q. What are your favorite things to do in your spare time?
A. I love FITNESS and getting in shape, i spend most of my spare time working out. I love to go hiking, explore trails, dancing, bowling, shooting pool, playing darts, putt putt golf, listening to live music, going to lounges instead of clubs, watching sunsets and enjoying a picnic dinner on the beach (yea I am a romantic soul). I like to try new things, I am seldom not willing to try a new adventure. Have yet to go sky diving but have always wanted to, one day it will happen
