2 new patients may hold clues to potent HIV (NY Man claims 100's of Partners last few weeks)
SFGate ^ | 14 Feb 05 | Lawrence Altman

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.

We have had twenty years of AIDS education, condom distribution, diversion of obscene amounts of money for drugs for AIDS, World AIDS days, rock songs, fundraisers, quilts, etc.

All for a disease which is preventable by behavior modification.

Yet, herein is the dirty truth that no one speaks: it is the wanton, rampant, condomless and random sexual acts by homosexuals that promulgates the disease.

Glory holes, indeed.

And one of the sob's wouldn't cooperate....

Shouldn't that make him eligible for the death penalty?


Um, I may be wrong, but I believe he's already received the death penalty, its called HIV. No need for jurisprudence here.

You ever hear of bath houses? Pretty simple to rach up a hundred in a day or two. We here in Calif tried to shut them down but they sued us to re-open them.

I don't even know hundreds of people!

Well, there's knowing and there's knowing, if you know what I mean.

Sick.

I read an article about 'barebacking' or the thrill of these types to engage in these acts without condoms. No kidding.

I try not to judge but this episode speaks for itself.

later,
papa joe

This is A STUDY FROM GEORGIA...MULTIPLY BY XXXXXXX

The ratio of AIDS to non-AIDS Medicaid medical costs from 1992 to 2000.

Kotzan JA, McMillan CA.

Pharmacy Care Administration, University of Georgia, Athens, USA.

Our research objective was to calculate and forecast the monthly increase in medical and prescription costs for Medicaid patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and compare these values with costs for non-AIDS patients. A retrospective analysis of AIDS patients and a c

ontrol group of Georgia Medicaid beneficiaries was conducted between January 1, 1988, and December 31, 1991. AIDS patients were defined using the Keyes algorithm of combinations of International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification codes. The AIDS patient group was matched demographically to a group of non-AIDS patients. Data were adjusted to account for eligibility status, and the ratio of AIDS costs to non-AIDS costs was modeled with an econometric time series procedure. A total of 1966 AIDS patients were identified from 900,000 Medicaid recipients in the study period; 58.0% were male and 59.8% were black. Age was bimodal at < or = 1 year and 33 years. The best fit for the medical cost ratios produced a significant regression coefficient of .37. The initial ratio of AIDS to non-AIDS forecast was 4.25 in January 1992. The January 2000 forecast of this ratio increased to 42.56. This increase equates to an additional $8510.19 per AIDS patient-month for January 2000 in 1991 dollars. The outpatient prescription ratio for AIDS versus non-AIDS patients was not predictable. However, the greatest observed discrepancies were attributed to the expense for antihemophilia products. Overall, the most important finding was the accelerating medical costs for treating AIDS patients compared with costs for treating non-AIDS patients. These results may, in part, reflect additional costs for treating intravenous drug users and pediatric AIDS patients.

hundreds of men with whom the New York man told health officials he has had sex in recent weeks

just a perfectly "normal" lifestyle - what's the problem? Teach it to our kids - or be guilty of "hate" and discrimination.

Know what? I AM a discriminator.

Discriminate: "1 a : to mark or perceive the distinguishing or peculiar features of b : DISTINGUISH, DIFFERENTIATE 2 : to distinguish by discerning or exposing differences; especially : to distinguish from another like object intransitive senses 1 a : to make a distinction b : to use good judgment"

When I choose one book or one rose or whatever over another one - I discriminate. If I choose chicken over steak for dinner, I have chosen (discriminated) one over the other. Discrimination - we do it all day long - but the word has been bastardized to mean BAD.

Discrimination is how we make good vs bad choices, or even just one preference over another.

those who choose to live this kind of lifestyle - have no right to present to my kids as "just another normal lifestyle." - with me being the hate-mongering criminal if I say "NOT on my watch!"
