Abstract

Interviews with HIV-positive gay and bisexual men in Toronto show a widespread attentiveness to the question of HIV reinfection or super-infection as a concern in safer sex decision-making. Examination of HIV reinfection discourses shows how sero-positive men find themselves at the nexus of expert knowledge and responsibilizing trends in relying on, interpreting, and extending medical evidence in constructing risk for self and others. While not an issue that overrides all others, reinfection concerns play a salient role among the reasons mentioned by those practising safe sex, and are often weighed against competing incentives and discourses by those who do not.
