A Cowboy's Code, Kind Of
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Ron's a man's man, all right. He likes his women fast, his life on the edge, and his precautions...well, let's just say they weren't exactly his strong suit. We're talking unprotected rides with various partners, a lifestyle that would make even the most carefree bullfighter wince. The film doesn't get too specific, but there's a fleeting flashback that hints at a particularly "raw" encounter with a woman who might have been involved in intravenous drug use. Not exactly the safest gamble in the pleasure paddock.

Of course, when Ron gets the news, it hits him like a runaway longhorn. "HIV? AIDS? You gotta be yanking my chaps!" He's in complete denial, which is fair enough considering the limited understanding of the disease back then. But then, a little memory jogs his well-worn brain. That sketchy encounter comes flooding back, and suddenly, the rodeo metaphors start to lose their charm.
The Takeaway: Don't Be a Bullheaded Cowboy
Look, we're not here to judge Ron's past. The man clearly had a thing for speed (and maybe not the safest kind). But the important thing is, he learned from his mistakes. Dallas Buyers Club isn't just about a bull rider facing down a deadly disease, it's about a man confronting his own recklessness and fighting for his life. So next time you're considering a wild ride, remember Ron Woodroof, and maybe, just maybe, throw on some protection. Your future self (and future partners) will thank you for it.
