HIV Becoming Resistant to Key Drug, Study Finds
BBC News ^ | 28 February 2016 | Dominic Howell

Strains of HIV are becoming resistant to an antiretroviral drug commonly used to prevent and fight the virus, research has suggested.

HIV was resistant to the drug Tenofovir in 60% of selected cases in some African countries, according to the study, which covered a 17-year period.

The research, led by University College London, looked at 1,920 HIV patients worldwide who had treatment failure.

Lead author Dr Ravi Gupta said the results were "extremely concerning".

I read a few years ago that people with HIV die 14 years early. I can’t find that article by searching online anymore. I assume the Gaystapo has deleted it from searches.
The article also said people with HIV are very likely to get neurocognitive disorders: HAND - HIV associated neurological disorders.

That’s what is so amazing about the whole thing, blaming Reagan. He was a cultural traditionalist who came to that belief over time but was a product of the west coast entertainment industry, he and Nancy had many gay friends including Rock Hudson until the day he died, they were there. Whether or not they approved of his sexual behavior was not a matter of public discussion but they clearly loved and cared for the guy. No one had a clue what was causing the disease back then, I recall a pretty strong belief that so-called club drugs were doing it, cocaine, amyl nitrate and such. For militant homosexual activists and leftist political hacks to make such a bizarre claim is a testament to Reagan’s enduring legacy and strong influence even today. They’ve just got to slime him.

There certainly is a name for this sort of denial and deflection and it’s Biblical. It’s called a reprobate mind. They’ve been given over to it.

And that makes you a pretty disgusting human being.

I was wondering why someone would post a two year old article.

The answer was pure hatred :)

But make sure you go to mass and let everyone see you put money in the basket :)

It’s a sinful lifestyle but I wish none of them to suffer a horrible death.

It’s funny how so many “Christians” don’t seem to mind it.

Actually, the approved “narrative” is that young people who start on HIV meds early after diagnosis and stay on them religiously can live a normal lifespan healthily. Of course, none of those young people have been observed living normal lifespans yet because ... they are still young and unobservable at normal lifespan.

What idiot “science.”

Sorry, you won’t catch me at Mass earning my salvation. I don’t subscribe to that cult.

And look up impreccatory prayer. The destruction of the incorrigibly wicked SHOUD put a spring in the step of those who values righteousness.

Moral of the story.. Don’t put yourself in a situation where you can contract AIDS.

Like needing transfusions during surgery?

And why shouldn't gays be able to donate blood just like the rest of us? Why are they being singled out and shunned?

/S here, in case you were wondering.

The article addressed that fact, and said it included all people with HIV. It was researched two years ago.
