U.S. doctors said they have identified the patient who is the source of a mystery strain of human immunodeficiency virus that sent waves of alarm through the AIDS community last February...
The original source of the infection is a patient in Connecticut who infected the New York man during anonymous rectal intercourse at a sex club in the city on Oct. 22, 2004.(There's a shocker)...
On Oct. 20, 2004, CT01 provided blood samples that indicated a detectable viral load. ...
Two days after visiting the doctor, CT01 and CT02 traveled to New York to engage in sex at a club.(They are just like you and me, God just made them like men instead of women)
At the club, CT01 had insertive anal intercourse with ejaculation into the New York man. CT02, a 41-year-old man who has lived with CT01 for 12 years, had insertive anal intercourse without ejaculation with the same man.(They are just like you and me. Really.)
Blick said, however, the New York man's use of crystal methamphetamine and highly promiscuous lifestyle may be more of a factor in his low CD4 count than the strain of virus.(As I said, they are just like you and me.)
... the New York man probably developed a rapidly progressing form of the disease due to his frequent use of crystal meth, along with his promiscuity. "Who knows what damage that drug does to a person's immune system," he said.(Paging Peter Duesberg)
The New York man had sex with at least 10 other partners before he discovered he was infected.(Remember, they are just like you and me)Blick said it is possible other infections with that strain may show up later when those men are tested -- if they became infected.

So what kind of beastie did Patient Zero have sex with to catch this rare strain?
These clubs should be erected (hehehe I said erected) at taxpayer expense and free.
I think they mean PCR assay or pro viral load either way seems a silly error
LOL. Its kind of like my idea for handing out free grain alcohol to skid row bums.
Since many gay men think they are going to die of aids and eschew safe sex practices, I think we should recruit them in the war on terrorism. We can convince them to become suicide bombers of our own and take them to arab countries. Once they have blown themselves up and taken a lot of peaceful isalmaofascists, their autorities will find a nice bomb proof note about how they are now infected with HIV.
Maybe that will work since the military won't dip their bullets in pigs blood.
That's my 1.5 cents
oh no please don't :-(
This would be speculation at best, let's see him write a white paper with this hypothesis that survives peer review
That's a great idea. They can immortalize themsleves in "The charge of the light in the loafers brigade".
"They thought all the people at the club were HIV positive," Blick said. "My patient is devastated that he infected the New York man, whom he thought was already positive." They are now...
send them to Gitmo and take care of two problems at once
they are speculating that the use of crystal meth caused the virus to mutate into the rare strain. Call it "speed aids".
Blick said, however, the New York man's use of crystal methamphetamine and highly promiscuous lifestyle may be more of a factor in his low CD4 count than the strain of virus.
** Well ya think? If I took meth and exposed myself to all kinds of filth, I would guess my count would take a dip too!
Well, how did this 'patient zero' get the strain? Did he get it while drinking chianti and making a chicken teriaki salad?
Because I read and believe the media, I will assume that patient zero IS NOT AND CANNOT BE homosexual. < /s >
Now I will read the article.

shoot them all today, and that's the end of the virus.
(After reading article.)
Hunh. Looks like he was homosexual.
Stunner.
