Russian Roulette sex, aids and microbicide grease By Michael Vallins
Friday, February 9, 2007
Do you recall the AIDs conference here recently? The one where Stephen Lewis and Bill Gates were feverishly championing the future microbicide grease for women to plaster on their private parts before sex to protect themselves against HIV? This was it! As simple as an oil change and a grease job. This was going to solve the problem and we could just go absolutely bonkers and have sex and more sex and, well, everything was going to be wonderful, and even the Toronto hookers came to the conference and just added such a touch of refined class with their endorsement. We were on the map! We could at last shake our fists at this incurable virus.
Well, er, sorry Stephen and Bill, not quite. The following Reuters article tells a sad tale
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Trials of a new product designed to help women protect themselves from the AIDs virus were halted on Wednesday after women using it became infected at a higher rate than women not using it, researchers said. The company that made the gel, known as a microbicide, said that it apparently made women more vulnerable to the virus, not less vulnerable, as intended. It is the second spectacular failure of a microbicide -- a gel or a cream designed for women to use vaginally to prevent infection with HIV. Trials of the spermicide nonoxynol-9 were stopped after it was found to raise the risk of HIV infection.

Smug SOB sounds happy that the microbicide failed.
That's not important. The important thing is that their intentions were good.
Perhaps he saw the folly in promising the obese a fat-stopper pill?
If people either never had sex outside of a truly monogamous relationship, and never once failed to use condemns during sex when it was outside of a truly monogamous relationship, the public would save billions on what would become needles drugs.
It is difficult to get HIV. You have to share blood or semen with someone infected. Other than blood-related accidents, it is only negligence that achieves the transmission of HIV and keeps it in the human population. Without that negligence the "epidemic" would be over already.
Correction:
Perhaps he saw the folly in promising the morbidly obese a fat-blocker pill?
*Insert Windows Joke HERE*
I wonder if John Edwards uses a MAC?
Heh, I see what you're doing there. ^_^
I thought the headline said "GEESE" and that this was some kind of bird flu thing. Imagine my confusion reading the article. LOL
The line that really made me laugh was "spreading GEESE on their private parts." Only in Canada.
Sounded more like an a-hole to me. Celebrating the failure because it helps you score a political point for your side is morally the same as Dems hoping for failure in Iraq so that they can re-take the presidency.
Thank you Wuli...that's so true. Do you know that when AIDS was still called GRID it is suspected that blood terrorism was committed by homosexual activists to escalate the urgency in finding a cure. It was published in homosexual magazines, but it is unproven whether it actually took place. But, we do know the blood banks were severely contaminated.
Homosexual activist Robert Schwab stated that "If [AIDS] research money is not forthcoming at a certain level by a certain date, all gay males should give blood. Whatever action is required to get national attention is valid. If that includes blood terrorism, so be it."
Well, no wonder it didn't work! ;-)
Must be global warming...
I have a 75 year old friend who got HEP C from tainted blood in heart surgeries (she's had two).....the surgeries were done in the 70's/80's I believe....B*stards.
On the other side of that era is a heroic gay activist, Randy Shilts (I think was his name) - who was made an outcast in his own community. He documented the refusal of gay community leaders, the gutless medical community and politically correct politicians to close down things like gay "bath houses". He wrote a book, "And the Band Played On", after some frustrating years as a prophet crying in the wilderness of his own community, with no officials or leaders listening. I think the epidemic had reached its peak before his own community (SF) started to make any serious changes. But, the younger generation never lived through that era, and they are more promiscuous than ever, at younger ages, fearless, and believing the public medical mantra that AIDS is now simply a "manageable illness". So, just as Mr. Shilts title his book, "And the Band Played On", it continues even today.
Yes, I know about Clinton....and, my friend MAY have had one of her surgeries in Arkansas and one in California...but, I know he was selling blood to Canada.....talk about BLOOD on HIS HANDS!
