I don't follow you on the part about them being unlabeled. If there are multiple photons, why would you not be able to follow and label them, at least from a theoretical and not real life point of view?

I mean this is gonna sound super arrogant and I'm only using it as a parallel, but what do you call the guy who placed last at the olympics? An olympic athlete.

My assumption is it would be harder to find people accepting of it, but I could obviously be wrong about that. Glad it wasn't an issue for you!

Pretty much, yes. But you still have to take those pills for the rest of your life. And they can have side effects. And you can't really have a truly normal love life, though many will find a partner accepting of the risks (especially if on meds and viral loads are undetectable).

Reply to comment by whiskeyandbear in Doctor has sex with patient in emergency department toilets 'to help with chest pain' by alyaaz
So the concern is this: A patient may become dependent upon a doctor for his/her medical expertise and care, and this creates a power imbalance between the two. If the doctor then starts looking for sex, they may feel obligated to comply in order to keep being looked after for whatever medical issues they have. This is why it is unethical, unprofessional, and not permitted by medical regulatory bodies.
There are still always grey areas, and certainly if a doctor and patient agreed to terminate the medical relationship, and a certain period of time passed, then it would be okay in some circumstances.
