What on earth is it going to take to convince these people that their lifestyle is killing them?

You mean, short of the second coming what will convince them?

Yea know i was thinking that too.. how do we know a virus doesnt morph with certian drugs? Crystal Meth could do wonders for your average virii growth.

".......the need to practice safe sex"....

How about the need NEVER to practice anal sex.

Did we not wipe out the smallpox virus?

That is a common misconception. Smallpox, like strep, is a bacillus (bacteria), and not a virus. Two completely different unicellular organisms. Bacilli are far more complex than virii, and less prone to rapid mutation. It was this characteristic of bacilli which enabled smallpox to be largely eradicated from the list of deadly diseases which have plagued mankind since time remorial. Virii, on the other hand, have never been sucessfully countered by any method at our current disposal...

Explorers are for wimps, I want a CTX.

Figures. Gays managed to create a massive epidemic by unprotected promiscuous anal intercourse. Then they whined until the nation spent tens of billions of dollars finding effective treatments, and more billions paying for drugs for the infected millions. Then they went back to their merry ways, allowing evolution to do its thing and generate a resistant strain. I guess it's time to cue a further bout of whining.

Time to focus research efforts on another disease, I say. AIDS is primarily a behavioral problem, not a microbiological one.

the event is the vehicle

the "thinking" leading up to the event is the problem

as long as their are men willing to provide a mud cap, he will find a man wanting one

kill the thinking, and there will be less events

"It appears that those who insist on engaging in insane behaviour, will find that the virus will insist on killing them. "

True. However, in the mean time, we the taxpayers get to support them and pay for their medical care.

It has been well kown since the Paris AIDS conference in 1986 (Very superior delegate food and wine, BTW) that there are both rapid and slow progressors.

Despite the logic of it, it has never been shown that this is strain-specific, it is more likely host-specific.

The AIDS literature is full of re-publication of "discoveries" that were original to the period 1982-87. There was a meeting at the New York Academy of Sciences in 1983 whose proceedings contain much of what we know, and don't know, about AIDS biology-and that before HIV was first described.

All I can say is thank God I'm married and that my husband and I are both HIV negative and we only have sex with each other!

Exactly
I have only ever been with my wife. Thats a sure thing if I ever heard one.

Now barring any infidelity two people never have to worry about this disease. I have NEVER known anyone who has multiple partners all the time to be "Gay" or happy in their lives. They are always lonely, sad, and miserable.

If they all want to die of this then lets help speed the process. We need to publish a directory of HIV + people willing to infect others. Let the good times roll.

>if the little bugger (pun not intended) is mutating at this rate, are there any projections on when the thing might become an airborne-communicable variant?

I'm not a doctor, but I would bet big money that if you avoid exchanging needles and body fluids with folks who resemble this, then you will be safe. Regardless of "mutations," I think you'll be safe.

All I can say is thank God I'm married and that my husband and I are both HIV negative and we only have sex with eac other! With all this talk of HIV and other sexually transmittied diseases I don't see why anyone would engage in SEX period with someone that isn't there spouse. Frankly, I think God mad sex for only the married and there is a good reason why!

That kind of "bigoted" talk will get you in trouble with the "gay" stapo.

So closed minded...

[Halls]

Close minded? No, I'm not closed minded and I don't care if what i believe gets me into trouble with "gays". I happen to care for anyone and everyone and don't wish harm upon these people. I just wish they would realize that the choice they are making can kill them. And again I believe that sex was made for marriage and only marriage. To many prices to pay for having un married sex!

[Jimmyclyde]

I agree with you 100%.

I was being sarcastic with my closed minded comment...

[longtermmemmory]

its amazing how the MSM (including fox) are dancing around the fact that it is homosexual men who have this new rapidly fatal aids.

[Halls]

OH, LOL!! Stupid me!!!

Waiter, check please! LOL
