Why?
Isn't AIDS a politically correct badge of honor anymore?

If one is interested in stamping out a disease, why not FIRST attack the source causes of the disease?

Why not outlaw GAY Bath/Whore Houses?
Why not strongly prosecute drug USERS, not just drug sellers.
Why not stop spending BILLIONS of taxpayer money on supporting and medicating drug addicted brain burned out dredges of society alive? Let nature take its course...

Once a person has been informed they have AIDS, why are they punished with a slap on the wrist for KNOWINGLY having sex with the unsuspecting? This is attempted murder!

Why must Medical workers in Hospitals not be WARNED they are dealing with an AIDS infected patient..
For decades -- this was not permitted, is it still the case?

Naaah, we're not interested in fighting AIDS.
The Gay Agenda is to have taxpayers finance their specific medical need due to their perverted choices..

F'em.....uh, never mind -- forget I said that.

I think he should be deprived of his life.

I don't see doctors reasonably 'forcing' this on families. For one thing, it can lay dormant for up to 10 years. False positives would happen, probably almost as often as they do in pregnancy home tests.

[LucyT]

Anyone who sexually molests a five year old should be deprived of their life.

[presidio9]

Anyone who sexually molests a five year old should be deprived of their life.

Especially because history has told us that these monsters can not be cured. Rehabilitation of pedophiles is a myth.

[brwnsuga]

Rehabilitation of pedophiles is a myth

...not true.... studies have shown that death causes pedophiles not to repeat their crimes

[Cold Heat]

I've been tested...

The VA does this for free and usually does not make it voluntary. They do it for other reasons, but it's a damn good idea. People need to know when they have any STD..

[Cold Heat]

False positives would happen

Sure! so they retest......

The tests are sensitive enough to detect dormancy.

[subterfuge]

I think Liberals actually encourage debauchery and hedonism because it keeps sheeple distracted so they can get and stay in office and tax and spend, tax and spend,

Nah, they do it to increase their odds of getting laid. Like bi-sexuals and Slick Willie.

[Froufrou]

I thought the T4 levels had to be significantly low to detect presence of the virus...?

[Cold Heat]

Has she ever received a shot? A immunization? Been to the dentist?

You cannot get it from a toilet seat, but there are many ways.

Just like the story today about the teacher who used a single sharp to have a class draw a drop of blood.

[siunevada]

Patients would not get tested every year: Repeated, annual testing would only be recommended only for those at high risk.

I'd be willing to bet a majority of the high risk population doesn't have a regular physician they see annually.

[Cold Heat]

No, that;s not my understanding. They can test within weeks/days of first exposure, and they can look for different identifiers that show up at different stages. I understand the accuracy is almost 100% now.

[LadyPilgrim]

No, sure didn't, but I will check it out.
Thanks...I just got back in. ;-)

But it's amazing how people think anymore.
There was once a time not long ago.........
That folks would be ashamed to do a lot of what's done now.

And not just sex, but perverted on top of that........and with the wrong people! (gender/age)
And using sex as a weapon. Shaking my head.....

Depravity runs rampant.

[Froufrou]

I know. Lucy T just posted one about a man raping a 5-yr-old, knowing he was positive. Sick.

[lady lawyer]

I don't see how the testing will prevent any spread of the disease. They're presupposing that if a person knows s/he/s positive s/he will refrain. That's a big stretch of the imagination, in my book.

Agreed.

Furthermore, by offering "life extending therapies," they will only give them more time to infect others. Which they will do. Everyone in this country already knows how to stop the spread of AIDS. They just can't be bothered to do it.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

Patients would be allowed to decline the testing.

For now.

[brwnsuga]

HIV is a blood born illness facilitated by the exchange of bodily fluids. It is highly unlikely that a child would get HIV from receiving immunizations or from the dentist since they use sterile instruments.
