More NZ men than ever - one every four days - are letting a sex partner infect them with HIV. Take a moment to read our simple 10 point checklist before your next bonk: 1. Only ever let a dick up your arse if it is condomed 2. Use water-based lube to reduce stress on the condom (and your arse!) 3. Periodically check that the condom is still in place and intact 4. Don't allow drink or drugs to impair your judgement 5. Don't let anyone talk you into having uncondomed anal sex 6. Don't kid yourself that YOU won't get HIV 7. Don't kid yourself that getting HIV is no real hassle 8. Don't assume, or believe, that he doesn't have HIV 9. Remember that condoms are an effective barrier against HIV 10. There are lots of men out there now with HIV so get real and take responsibility for your own health and well-being. GayNZ.com - 26th October 2005
