AIDS viruses isolated from two individuals are being studied to determine whether either might be the source of a rare and potentially more aggressive form of HIV .... resistant to 19 of the 20 licensed antiretroviral drugs. ...The two male contacts in New York, only one of whom is cooperating with the investigation, are among hundreds of men with whom the New York man told health officials he has had sex in recent weeks while using crystal methamphetamine. The man who sparked the investigation is cooperating with city health officials but apparently does not know the names of all his partners.

Maybe Uncle Leo will retrieve it.

[Restorer]

some actually would have made that comment in all seriousness.

You are correct. I know many heterosexuals who have weeks where they indulge in sex with hundreds of partners.

Actually, the only hetero group this is likely to be true of would be low-priced, high-volume hookers during a time of good business.

"sometimes deliberately"

NO. It is ALWAYS deliberately

LOL

My god how much sex can you have in a week!

[katana]

Hell, if you shook hands (much less any other appendages) with hundreds of people in the course of a few weeks you'd end up with a viral smorgasbord. This fellow is nothing less than a walking biological weapons factory.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

We can pretty well bet that he doesn't put in overtime.

Probably just a lot of "under"time.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

Accidently, of course.

A one-in-a-million chance. (/Fusilli Jerry reference)

[Pookee]

If the history of medical science has taught us anything, it's that sleeping with huge numbers of people is not a good idea. It's amazing he "only" has AIDS.

AIDS is probably the only terminal disease he has, but I bet he's got a phonebook of them.

[Pookee]

In a few weeks???? When did he have time..

Doing crystal meth and poking that many people a day is a full time job so we can safely assume this dead-man-walking doesn't work. Anyone care to guess where he gets the money for the crank?

[joe_broadway]

A big piece of pasta, twisted. One in a million, I tell ya.

bookmarked, thank you.

They are called Crystal Queens.

Check my profile for the latest. I hope to post a huge update soon.

Even in the height of my youth, with hormones raging--could I have found 100 people I would have found attractive enough to want to have casual sex with. Not that I would have, but you catch my drift.

thinking and doing are 2 different things, this man did it with 100+ in a few weeks. That just ain't normal

[Nebr FAL owner]

Think gay prostitute for meth. aka Dead Man walking.

[Beckwith]

It only takes one.

Google "Patient Zero".

He's the guy that started it all.

[xzins]

It amazes me beyond belief that anyone has the time, energy, inclination, .... etc., to be involved with that many people.

I cannot fathom it.
