From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

clam-av is like an anti-virus condom -- there are significantly better ways to protect yourself but if you're not aware them, or don't want to put in the effort, or just don't want to bother for whatever reason; then it's there and it's better than nothing. lol
What better solution does exist if you want to have sex with strangers?
some of this
and some of that
Doxycycline is an antibiotic, they are famous for having no effect on viruses as e.g. HIV. And even if the other party involved is honest with you they might not know that they have an STD, some are already contagious without an positive test.
I guess being severely allergic to doxycycline means I can just go fuck myself.
