This guy was a normal guy, you would never suspect anything of the sort from him. I knew he possibly was gay from the way he carried himself, but that was about it. Totally normal, fit body, good job, just bought a new car, always friendly, etc. Cops stormed in today and arrested him.
I guess you don't know people at all, and there are skeletons in peoples closets that you would least expect them from. I think I am going to get HIV tested, I find the fact very disturbing that HIV people are allowed to join public gyms. I know I've shared machines and weights with him and doing heavy bench press could cause the bar to dig into your hands, whether or not I could catch HIV from that I don't know.
What a day...after something like that, I am definetely for a law that states HIV people should have their own gyms and not be allowed in public ones.
If you are worried about getting infected with HIV from surfaces, you can get a bottle of 70% alcohol use it to wipe down any area or surface before you touch it.
