Quarantine sought for harsh TB strain

I am sure they wouldn't possibly consider the same in the case of virulent, untreatable HIV infections. It's PC to quarantine people with TB, but not PC to do the same with HIV/AIDS, even though it's just as deadly, and even though these infected men seem to spread it all over the place to multiple partners, who then spread if further, etc.

"I am sure they wouldn't possibly consider the same in the case of virulent, untreatable HIV infections."

TB is easily spread, quarantines make sense because there are no reasonable precautions when it is present in your area. To the contrary. it is easy to reduce your chance of catching HIV to practically zero with minimal effort.

Unless you planning on putting yourself in a position to catch this new strain of HIV from these guys then you should have nothing to worry about.

Actually it's logical to quarantine people with TB since it is airborne and easy to catch socially.

HIV/AIDs on the other hand is difficult to contract, unless you are sharing needles or having sex with an infected person.

HIV and TB are commonly found together.

While HIV does not infect the general public, the threat of antibiotic resistant TB is a deadly threat to ALL of us. Antibiotic resistant TB recently turned up in South Africa.

So,,,image what HIV-TB infected homosexuals are going to do in promiscuous groups? Yes! They will infect each other with TB. Then imaging what the HIV-TB homosexual will do to the rest of us? Yes! Infect the general population with TB.

Antibiotic resistant TB is high fatal.
