I have a grand idea - how about not engaging in sexual activities that put you at risk for AIDS? Imagine that!

Get your head out of the sand, Jim. You fucking queer hater. AIDS is not a queer disease. HIV worldwide is largely transmitted by heterosexual intercourse.

If queers never existed, there might have been a handful of cases over the years. It all started with queers, was compounded by queers, and now so many others get afflicted as a result.

You don't know shit about HIV. There are various theories of how it arose. You're so hateful of queers that you blame us for everything. If AIDS is some kind of punishment for being gay why don't lesbians get it?

It came out of Africa. It was from chimps. It appears to have crossed species during hunting.

In his book, The River, the journalist Edward Hooper suggests that HIV can be traced to the testing of an oral polio vaccine called Chat, given to about a million people in the Belgian Congo, Ruanda and Urundi in the late 1950s. To be reproduced, live polio vaccine needs to be cultivated in living tissue, and Hooper's belief is that Chat was grown in kidney cells taken from local chimps infected with SIVcmz. This, he claims, would have resulted in the contamination of the vaccine with chimp SIV, and a large number of people subsequently becoming infected with HIV-1.5 (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#ref4) http://www.avert.org/origin-aids-hiv.htm


Your continued hostility toward all gay people is noted.

The big problem I see with this is the error rate, false negatives.

The lawyers would soon be all over which ever drug company launched this test.

You would save yourself tons of grief if you learned to not give things you don't like the time of day. I see so many topics where you miss the message that saying nothing sends. I would even extend this to confronting people who have abused you earlier in life. If you touch a turd, your hands will stink. When I first moved to probably the most left wing city in one of the most left wing states in the union, I learned to simply not acknowledge things I don't like. You should try it.

You would save yourself lots of typing if you didn't try to befriend someone who wants no friends, and help make a victim of someone dying to become a victim. She's already stated what she thinks of you in the past. She'll like you now for "defending" her. Then when you tell her in another thread that you're really not a fan of homosexuality or gay marriage, she'll revert right back to hating you again. Oh, and making stuff up if it suits her.

Some people are concerned about home HIV tests. The same arguments were once voiced about home pregnancy kits. That you don't get counseling when you get your test results.

More people will test and will know whether they need treatment or not. HIV is now a chronic disease that you can live with for many years.

There is HUGE glairing differenct between the two tests. One isn't a death sentence.

Presumably a person would take a test in front of another and, depending on the results of the test, decide to have unprotected sex.

The lawyers will come in and sue the shit out of the company for false negatives as soon as a person presents with the argument that they had unprotected sex and got HIV because the test was faulty.

It's not a matter of befriending. Think of it as yelling at somebody to get away from the platform because the train is coming. It's just being a good citizen. Remember, when people get in a pissing contest, everybody gets wet. My mindset comes from decades in the corporate environment.

Because lesbian women tend to be in long term relationships for one thing. Even single lesbians tend toward serial monogamy. One affair at a time.

The other is that some of the practices that het and gay men engage in, that are high risk, we don't.

It ws a big joke in the gay community that lesbians who are the least likely to get HIV were using dental dams in complete paranoia and hyperresponsibility.

I give up. I was trying to have a civil discussion. You have to get edgy all the time. Even heteros, if not engaging in intercourse or anal sex, have a less chance. There was no harm with my post and I was simply addressing the facts. THIS is why I can't post with you and made a mistake trying again. The most benign of statements you tend to twist somehow.

For others, they know I'm right. Abstinence from ANY sexual activity will lower the chances. Lesbianism, for lack of a better description, is most certainly a form of abstinence. You're correct, I have no idea what you do, nor do I want to know. But most lesbians don't and cannot engage in sexual intercourse, as their partner doesn't have a tool to do so.

Enjoy ignoring people.
