“What is your greatest regret?
Not finishing my studies at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.”

Apparently no regrets over the behavior that caused him severe health problems?

LOL It’s really weird but I’ve had that “oh-how-I-wish-I-was-out-of-body” experience more than a couple of times - not just with HIV results but other things as well. Like the time I thought I was pregnant and went to the Rite-Aid to get a test and I didn’t know which aisle to look on. I got dizzy and had to sit down. The pharmacist saw me sitting there gasping and asked if he could help me. He was very nice but I could tell he was going to have a good laugh about it once he was back in the pill-mixing room.

And as with that particular instance, each time I have thought I had caught something bad from being profligate and abysmally inconsiderate of the feelings of others - it was negative.

I am truly surprised, as I used to pick cigarette butts out of beers at parties just to wet my whistle and well I have worked in hospital settings and saw innocent babies doomed to a lifetime of illness with herpes or something else because their stupid parents had been careless and/or ignorant.

Never have sex is my advice. It’s always a waste of time unless you are rich and you want to have kids. Don’t even think about it. Use birth control - or be sterilized - in case some rich person’s kid becomes interested in you.

When Magic Johnson revealed his HIV diagnosis, and there was a lot of chatter about the thousands of women he had sex with, I wondered how many of them were infected by Magic. They are apparently non-persons as no one seemed the least concerned.

I worked in a big city ER all through the 80s. The city has a huge fag population. I saw more of them die than I can remember.

Of course there are at least several ways to get AIDS. One is through transfusions and blood products. Arthur Ashe and countless people with hemophilia for example. There are accidental needle sticks with medical staff (one of our nurses contracted it that way).There are women who don't know their husband/boyfriend is doing it with guys.

I can feel enormous sympathy for such people

But fags and junkies? No sympathy whatsoever!

Is he really? And did he write that famous line; “That’s a shame.”

Delicious irony if that’s the case.

I’ll insist again that AIDS is a “gay”-centric disease, strongly so. Nearly everyone who contracts it can trace the source to an act of homosexual sodomy by two degrees or fewer.

The hospital worker who gets a needle prick (very rare transmission route) likely got it from a needle used on a homosexual or drug addict who shared needles with a homosexual.

It all traces back to Sodom.

Wow. It’s good that you’re still alive. I hope you’re happy and content now. No kidding.

This guy was diagnosed Oct 1985 - and he’s still alive in 2023. He really beat the odds

In those early years, if memory serves, mortality rate was over 50%.

He should thank God for sparing him.

Here's a good interview response:

"What three adjectives best describe you?"

"Humorous. Resilient. Courageous."

And yet he cried like a baby driving home from his diagnosis. Lying fag.

He's not really spared. He has only become more confirmed in his victimhood.

There are worst things than death.

Yes...ours was a very busy ER located in a major city. And,as I said,the city has a huge fag population.Needle sticks typically occur with health personnel in emergency situations...ERs,ICUs,ORs. And that's how our nurse contracted it...during a code.

Don’t stop there Lanny...... tell us more

How Do You Get or Transmit HIV?

You can only get HIV by coming into direct contact with certain body fluids from a person with HIV who has a detectable viral load. These fluids are:

Blood
Semen (cum) and pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum)
Rectal fluids
Vaginal fluids
Breast milk

For transmission to occur, the HIV in these fluids must get into the bloodstream of an HIV-negative person through a mucous membrane (found in the rectum, vagina, mouth, or tip of the penis), through open cuts or sores, or by direct injection (from a needle or syringe).

There are those out there who actively seek the HIV virus. They’re called bug-chasers. Sick people. But we knew that already. I first heard the term back in the late 1980s.

“as I used to pick cigarette butts out of beers at parties just to wet my whistle”

Wow, does that ever bring back memories!: We used to gather up all of the cigarette butts, before filter cigarettes, at the 8 bus stops within a 4 block radius of our home. We would then find some old newspaper from someone’s garbage can and make cigarettes with the butts and newspaper to smoke them behind the garage. We were only nine years old! ROFL
