Proof that Iowa City Craigslist can still be painfully innocent and adorable

Biotest on GilbertΒ 

Hey, so I was donating today around 5:35-5:40pm. You were wearing a red plaid shirt (I think!), and were in the green section. You're quite tall, and skinny. Brown hair, kinda long, it flopped a bit.

Anyway, you were walking to go put your sticker on the board, and looked down at me. Smiled and waved.Β 

As if you knew me!

??? = I won't judge you

"Full length" mirrors for your ???

I have about 19 mirrors taken from the doors of hotel rooms.
They are about 14 inches wide by 4 feet tall.
No Frames, just mirrors.

These mirrors have some form of "pitting" on them. This may be hair spray, I don't know what will remove this.

May have many more available soon.Β 

I'm looking to trade a potentially offensive antique for a jetski. Anyone game?

If you're looking for Valentine's Day ideas

In need of a cute valentines day gift??!

I am willing to sing a song to your loved one at their place of work or on your doorstep. I think "The way I am" is a cute love song by Ingrid Michaelson. If you have another song you'd want me to sing let me know ASAP, the song would have to be pretty easy to learn. Let me know if you are interested! :)Β

A Lot Chatter About HIV Out There in Iowa City Lately. Stay safe regardless

Be careful out thereΒ Β 

Did you know that HIV antibodies can take up to SIX MONTHS to show up on a test, all the while a person is infectious and can pass on the virus? So just because a person has tested negative within the past 6 months, doesn't necessarily mean a damn thing: they can still infect you.Β 

Let's say, John Q. Public gets a negative test result today. Tomorrow he has unprotected sex with a HIV+ guy and gets the virus. Four months later (still testing negative because it's only been 4 months) he has sex with somebody (maybe you) and it's agreed to (have unsafe sex) because, hey, he has a negative test result! Well, guess what? BAM! You are now infected with a virus you have to take very nasty drugs for the rest of your life to combat.Β 

The thing that amazes me most about HIV in Iowa City is that there is/are a person/persons who are ANGRY that I've been posting warnings about known HIV+ men telling people they are negative. Due to HIPAA regulations, it is illegal for me to name names, so these warning posts are all I can do under the law. But there are still (expletives) out there who wrote angry replies to me for this public service. I can't believe the ignorance or selfishness or whatever of some people.Β
