    if you live north of downtown, at the oak tree market at 100th in greenwood there is locally-made tofu in a refrigerator cabinet by the produce (as you enter it's at the back left of the store). they have a few deep-fried options too which, well, that should speak for itself.

    Thanks a ton for answering, CSN. I feel like I've asked 100 people (including Dan) and nobody wants to take it on. And, ditto to testing and monogamy. It's been 8 years since I was with someone who wasn't (the dude who is now) my dom. partner. I was never a particularly HIV type of risky in the first place. But I don't think you or I are ZERO risk. Sloppy-wet-kissing someone isn't a ZERO HIV-risk activity - truly, that's not my friend's brother's whatever. It's so rare but it happens. While I would do that and not worry for a second about getting HIV for my own sake, I wouldn't want to do a ton of that and then give blood. I am zero% selfishly worried I have HIV, but I sweat giving blood at a higher standard. Holy shit you could give someone HIV! I'm just not sure where it's reasonable to draw that line.

    I guess my problem is that I'm not sure there is a 100% "beyond doubt" in blood donation, at least for any person who's ever been sexually active (queer/not, dudes/chicks). HIV can take years and years to incubate, etc., etc. What I DO 100% believe is that I'm way, way less of a risk than many people who ARE allowed to donate. Is that a reasonable metric?

    Oops! Sounds like my question wasn't clear... I am curious about what other gay men do about donating, and I am not so interested in your opinion about what I do.
