#MeMonday On this World AIDS Day, I would like to show you that I'm not 'just' a horny porn daddy, but that I'm also using my porno fame to make the world a little better by spreading the U=U message.

Yes, I'm on my HANS HELPS tour again!

When I started doing porn over a decade ago, we used condoms, because that was the only way to protect yourself and others from HIV. That also meant, in porn and in my private life, that one of my biggest fear was always the fear of giving someone the virus, as I've been living with HIV for over 24 years.

All of this changed when PrEP was introduced and we had a second Safer Sex option, that was soon accompanied by the knowledge of U=U (even though the science behind it was published in 2008, it took a several years until we started 'believing' that statement).

As we all know by now, those are the reasons behind the 'rise' of condomless porn. Even though we don't use condoms anymore, we're still practicing Safer Sex - me and many of my co-workers are also on Doxy-PEP to reduce the risk of other STI (Sexual Transmitted INFECTIONS) transmission.

OUR job (you & me) now is to keep telling 'new' gays who start watching gay porn that they need to keep practicing Safer Sex (PrEP, Treatment as Prevention or the good old fashioned condom), as HIV is still out there. Yes, it's manageable now and you can still look as fit as I do 😉 , but it's still a lot more 'relaxed' to live a life without taking medication daily.

I know, there's still controversy (and please feel free to send me a private message if you like to share your thoughts with me), but today I would like to commemorate all the people we've lost to AIDS, and celebrate the 'freedom' to have sex again in its purest form - thanks to the achievements of science and the people who stand behind those.

Today, I can have all these wonderful, naughty, and sexy sexcapades and enjoy them fully, without the fear of being a danger to anyone. And I'm very happy about that. And grateful. So absolutely grateful.

So, whatever your status is, never stop educating yourself and others, spread the message of U=U, and help me make the world a little better - one fuck at a time ;)

Thanks for listening, and thanks for your continuous support and love. I would have never had such a long and prosperous career without you!

Love always, and a very happy World AIDS Day!
