bloodwork from a certified doctor has to be turned in at least in all the orgs that i've been to and heard of. i think that they're usually good for 6 months before they need to go get checked again

HAHA

I cornered a very bloody untested Amateur fight last year.

Personally I don't think it is worth the risk.

i'd wager you got a better chance of getting the HIV from that stripper whore you banged out the other night, who's sucked down more dicks than she can remember to count. ha ha.

odds anyone?

1 in 20 men in D.C. are infected with HIV. I live near D.C. Here's a source for it that i just dug up: New England group organizes ’Campaign to End AIDS’ caravan :: EDGE Boston

I've heard stories that the rate might be higher. In jail (not prison) that percentage shoots up to 40%. Gee whiz, I couldn't imagine anyone that's ever been in jail would enter a boxing match or an mma match. Because violence and jail obviously don't mix.

An event I fought for accepts clean blood test results that are less than 3 months old.

I only fight if bloods are taken. Especially since hearing a dude that failed his blood on Hep B at one event being advised by someone that he should fight at 'event x' as they don't test blood.

Umm... I can't find my edit button?

Just wanted to add that event is amateur and test was for HIV and Hep A,B,C only (recreational or enhancement drugs not tested).

The Duke said he got HIV from a boxing match, then agin he said he got it from a few different sources but who knows. But, he did say he fought a guy that had HIV and that bled all over him. I'd only fight for org's that check
