1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    What exactly are STDs. Are they in some way connected to having HIV/AIDS??

    What I'm asking is; When you have some sort of STD, does it mean you have HIV???

    I just need clarity.

    HIV is a Sexually Transmitted Disease. It is far from the only STD (also sometimes referred to as STI, or sexually transmitted infection).

    It may mean you have only HIV, it may mean you have only gonorrhea, it may mean you have only clamydia, it may mean you have only herpes, it may mean you have any combination of any of these or many other STDs.

    So, no, it does not necessarily mean that you have HIV, but it could mean that.
