Yeah but how would you know within the first three or four days that you have caught it. It may stay dormant in your system for years.

One of the biggest challenges faced by researchers has been getting the monkeys to do each other in the butt....

The only way to eradicate AIDS is a simple change in behavior - and it's free!
Right now, the behavior is encouraged. Expect many more to die , because people always seem to learn the hard way.
Stop buggering one another. It's an abomination. People have been warned for over 2000 years, but they just don't seem to want to listen to the wisdom of the ages.

There are several theories about AIDS transmission. Personally, I believe it transmits readily in people who already have suppressed immune systems. As homosexual men engage in acts which decrease their immune system capabilities (eating each other's feces, etc.), they are already at risk for HIV transmission. Also, tearing of the rectum during sex causes semen to contact directly with the mucous membranes.
Similar conditions exist in Africa. People frequently drink from the same streams where they defecate and urinate. Men also engage in anal sex with women more frequently. This gives a similar profile: Already depressed immune system combined with high-risk behavior.

That we have, what, 22 years of research on the mechanism of AIDS and we are just now finding out that it destroys cells that would attack it early in its infectious stage...
My reaction.....DUH, how many Billions of $$$ in federally funded research did it take to uncover this unsuprising fact?
It's been known for many years, predating AIDS, that "T-cells" are the key resource in the immune systems ability to fight infections - both bacteriological and viral. I'm no research biologist(nor do I have ambitions to play one on TV)....but thats the first place I would look!

What government researchers invariably discover, is that more government funded research will be neccessary.

Joe 6-pack nailed it. Monkeys seem to be both smarter and more hygienic than people.

but I have never been convinced that mosquitoes can't carry AIDS person to person.Why then does the infection rate by age fall from birth through puberty, and then begin to rise again, in Africa, Haiti, and Brazil?
The infection rate by age of all vectorborne diseases rises with age, as you would expect.
HIV infection does not.

The discovery might force a re-evaluation of how to tackle the deadly infection.They could try avoiding the BEHAVIOR that spreads it!

One of the biggest challenges faced by researchers has been getting the monkeys to do each other in the butt.... And yet, after 48hrs. of nonstop reruns of TeleTubbies and Sponge Bob Squarepants, the monkeys were gleefully copulating with members of the same sex...

Homosexual Agenda Ping.
A little more about HIV and how it starts to destroy the immune system almost immediately. And this is not the super-strain.
Where is that super-strain, anyway? If it really was what they said it was, I would think a lot more men would have presented with it, since the one (or was it two?) men who had it admitted hundreds of "partners" in the last few months.
Despite the agitation of "gay" activists, if a person is married (to a member of the opposite sex - !), monogamous, was abstinent before marriage, and doesn't get any blood transfusions or inject themselves with drugs - there is ZERO chance of getting AIDS.
Unless there is an accident and someone drips infected blood or body fluids on them. That is why cops and medical personnel wear gloves.
Let DirtyHarryY2K and me know if you want on/off this pinglist.

They could try avoiding the BEHAVIOR that spreads it! You are talking about personal responsibility. We simply can't have that kind of talk. Next thing you know you'll be labeled a "homophobe." Tsk tsk tsk.
To: little jeremiah
The religion of the homosexual, ie, I want sex with anyone 24/7/365 is the cause of the spread. Until they change their behavior, AID/HIV will continue to kill them like the grim reaper.
