Neither does motorcycle racing or skydiving but the results of a fatal mistake show up just fine.

Perhaps Darwin will be proven at least partially right on this one.

The US has been teaching AIDS prevention.
Starting in 5th or 6th grade here on LI. I'm sure the marijuana libertarians here know the government should stay out of private behavior.
Getting high doesn't lower inhibitions (and education) does it?
Drugs which are fat soluble and therefore stay in the body a month don't affect risky behavior. Do they?(sarcasm)

But, but, but!! Don't we know that everyone is equally susceptible to this disorder? (Just a tinge of sarcasm)

Is there any reason to doubt, based on experience, that actions have consequences?

If we can practically outlaw smoking to prevent lung cancer, how about the "gay" lifestyle.

It doesn't need to be against the law. But, if you opt for a risky lifestyle, pay your own way why don't you???

if we look at it scientifically, what are the common elements of the high risk behaviors?

answer: a compulsion for some form of immediate gratification behavior. (note did not say sex because this can include drug addicts)

So then the question becomes what is the difference between those who a compulsed for destructive gratification behaviors and those who achieve gratification in non-destructive behaviors?

So are some cancers and obesity, just to name a two...

In the United States five percent (of the budget for HIV) is spent on prevention

And millions on drugs to make anal intercourse safer.

Let's save some money...here's the cure ---DON'T STICK YOUR D*** IN YOUR BEST FRIEND'S A**!!

You mean people who are addicted to self-destructive behavior have a good chance of dying from it? I'm shocked, shocked!

I suspect this article is just part of a new effort to increase aids money.

Look at bill clinton prancing around for aid prevention and praising GWBush for spending money (while condeming him the day before)

Perhaps the homoadvocates fear a decrease in money access due to recent marriage amendment passages.

EX- President Clinton spoke about this just the other day and gave the solution. That solution was to circumsize the homosexuals. I believe he is right a Circumcision of about 4 inches off the end of the penis would probably slow down Aids. Until then just keep packing that Fudge boys.

HA list for sure (if you're around).

One additional problem (didn't see it in a quick read of the article) is that often you and I pay for their medical bills. This is not right, to put it mildly.

"America is more interested on treating this disease than preventing it. We can't treat our way out of this epidemic, even as a rich country."

????

AIDS is the most preventable disease in the world. For instance, I have a ZERO percent chance of contracting it.

Hey there BigFootBob, I'm sorry to hear about your HCV (but something tells me you're not a guy who wants sympathy or sorrow). So, with that being said, you also have my respect. You sound like one hell of a fighter.

I think we're probably of like minds on Bug Chasers. Just one step down the road in the left's glorification of suicide and death. It's so 'poetic' don't you know?

Keep on keepin' on.

It's not just insurance, buddy, it's taxes. A lot of AIDS patients are indigent and OUR tax money pays their bills.

The ONLY "disease" that is 99.9% preventable and is blamed on not enough government money being spent on the "victims".

Keep it in YOUR pants and not in some other mans pants.

To: little jeremiah; All

actually a lot of aids patients STURCTURE their indigency to pass their assets to friends and family.

Since they KNOW they are going to die, those with assets can pre plan. Often it is not devastatingly large amounts. A car, a house/condo some, retirement monies.

On occasion they go through the bankrupcy courts on hardship discharges for otherwise non-dischargable debt (no the new laws did not change that).

The heaviest part is the fact that it is a 100% preventable death and you see it in their eyes.

Amen. This lifestyle isn't a really good way to win God's favor. However, you can bet the sin will catch His eye. You are either with Him or against Him and against God is not a good place to be. Amen.
