HIV can 'never be cured' - AIDS virus thwarts even the best drugs by hiding in the gut.

Persistence of HIV in Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue despite Long-Term Antiretroviral Therapy.

G-A-Y = Got Aids Yet?

[Captainpaintball]

I got it—stomach transplants!!!—Force citizens of New Jersey to supply the bellies...

Being a retrovirus, it doesn’t need to hide in the gut. It can clone itself right into the cells DNA.

A good advertisement not to screw around. (not as if their are others!). The liberals already have a solution though...have as much random sex as you want, but use a condom. Yea, like I would point a gun at my head 100 times knowing it would go off every 2 to 5 times. Dumb asses!

[Westlander]

The movie Andromeda Strain comes to mind.

[Octar]

I agree. Are they so consumed by their twisted lust that the obvious escapes them? What fools.

More reason to wait until you’ve at least met a great girl, and have been dating her for a while, until you have sex.

[Global2010]

Excellant.

I never thought that it could be eradicated I always assumed it just went dormant with treatment.

[streetpreacher]

More reason to wait until you’ve at least met married a great girl, and have been dating her that you have been courting for a while, until you have sex.

[CarrotAndStick]

Well, that will require the same compliance on both sides... the girl is a vector, too.

[BushMeister]

Earlier this month, the Swiss National AIDS Commission broke with convention by declaring that HIV-positive patients who had had successful antiretroviral treatment could be declared 'non-infectious' through sex.

This is incredibly irresponsible. These people (and anyone they influence in this regard) will be the cause of many needless deaths.

[wastedyears]

Longtime Christians will probably ostracize me, but my view on premarital sex is that as long as you’re both deeply in love, I see nothing wrong with it. I know it’s having sex outside of marriage, but if you’re considering spending the rest of your life with the girl, then there’s no problem as far as I’m concerned.

Just my $0.02

[unspun]

I imagine plenty of new Christians would disagree, too.

[wastedyears]

If I feel like I’m not ready to take a relationship a step further, but my (future) girlfriend is, I’ll let her know that I’m not ready, and I’d hope she would respect my decision.

If she can’t, then I still would be saving myself.

[wastedyears]

Not trying to save myself but at least I don’t go around having sex with random women.

[coconutt2000]

The solution to HIV and Global Warming are the same... Eradicate humanity. Problem solved. /sarc

[CarrotAndStick]

No, not like that.

What I meant was, for minimal chances of contracting STD’s, the woman shouldn’t have an, ahem, “colourful” history, either.

[ROP_RIP]

A good advertisement not to screw around.

Your chances of getting HIV from normal, heterosexual activity with individuals who are not in a high-risk group is close to zero.

Personally I would be more worried about herpes. It is incurable and extremely common. It won't kill you but you'll have to deal with outbreaks for the rest of your life. Not worth it.
