For a change of pace, I request verification that this is a noun (he had sex with a poz), rather than an adjective (she was poz, she had sex with a poz partner). I find exactly one instance of the plural "Pozes". "Pozzies" seems to me more likely the plural of "a pozzie" than "a poz". - -sche (discuss) 18:09, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

It is both an adjective and a noun the way you laid those two example sentences. Pozes is rare, it is usually pozzies, but a word can have two plural forms can it not?Gtroy 09:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- But it's pozzies only the plural of pozzie? Perhaps poz doesn't have a plural, otherwise I think it might be pozzes instead of pozes. Pozes to me might rhyme with poses (in terms of IPA, /əʊ/ instead of /ɒ/). --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:37, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- So poz I would say is both countable and uncountable, its usually not plural but pozzies is a plural of it, usually jocular or at the very least endearing.Gtroy 19:45, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- There is even a magazine called poz. (yes it is about lifestyle topics for hiv positive peopleGtroy 01:36, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
- Nothing relevant at google groups:"with a poz" or google books:"with a poz". I do see some Web hits.—msh210℠ (talk) 20:29, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
