Up to 50 Teens Exposed to HIV at Missouri High School

NORMANDY, Mo. — Students at a suburban St. Louis high school headed to the gymnasium for HIV testing this week after an infected person told health officials as many as 50 teenagers might have been exposed to the virus that causes AIDS.

Officials refused to give details on who the person was or how the students at Normandy High School might have been exposed, but the district is consulting with national AIDS organizations as it tries to minimize the fallout and prevent the infection — and misinformation — from spreading.

I'm sure that no one would dream to imagine the worst.

Ping for another reason to homeschool.

[Boiling Pots]

Considering that AIDS is a Civil Rights status more than it is a communicable disease, it’s no surprise that it’s politically incorrect to speak the reasons why it’s spread out loud.

[therut]

Sex or needles or both. Otherwise overeaction?

[G.Mason]

This has got to be bogus.

With all the sex education and rubbers handed out at publick skools we all know the chillun are safe & sound.

[Dilbert San Diego]

These people are not saying how the students might have been exposed to HIV? Don’t they teach these things in the sex education classes? Haven’t they been pushing the “safe sex” lessons for 20 years now? How do most people get HIV/AIDS????

Well, if they don’t tell us more details, then people will draw their own conclusions about who or how this has been spreading.

Missouri ping

Low volume ping list

FReepmail me to be on, or off, this list.

Marcus Holman, a 14-year-old freshman, said he never imagined HIV would become such a widespread threat at school.

They must be missing something in the sex-ed class then. It's like telling kids that they can get hit by a car if they don't look before crossing the street, and they think "that always happens to somebody else, it'll never happen to me".

“Officials refused to give details on who the person was or how the students at Normandy High School might have been exposed,”

Then carry them out nude. I am guessing this peaceful display will get the answer in 4-5 minutes.

Why would they need to check out fifty people?  We have been told constantly
that it's amost impossible to get AIDS as long as you use a condom.  And outside
of human sexual contact, why it just doesn't get communicated to others...

Scratching head...  they weren't lying to us were they?  Nah, of course not.   /s


    Out of the mist they come, the Final 300 FReepers
    of this quarter's FReepathon.
 
    We were a little over $3,000.00 from this quarter's
    goal this morning.  It would only take 300 of us to
    donate $10.00 to put us over the goal.  Would some
    of you like to be a part of the Final 300?  Let's end
    this FReepathon today.

AIDS is actually pretty hard to catch.
This sounds bogus.

[thefactor]

i bet if anyone gets the virus, it will be more girls than guys.

What a bunch of crap. As I have been explaining for years now, only to seemingly beat my head against a wall of homosexual violence and fraud, HIV was INVENTED. It's a harmless ubiquitous retrovirus. The so-called AIDS test neither tests for AIDS (an impossibility since the 'syndrome' is now composed of more than 25 unrelated common disease states) nor does it test for active antigen. IT'S AN ANTIBODY TEST! It merely indicates the presence of antibodies to retrovirus, not actual viral infection.

So just for the record and for these morons in the high school, MAGIC JOHNSON IS STILL ALIVE YOU STUPID DICKS! HIV doesn't cause AIDS and AIDS is NOT a sexually transmitted disease. The entire 'gay' disease is found in ONLY two subgroups in our culture-- IV drug users and male homosexuals!!!!

And no, there is NO such thing as 'African AIDS'. I'm not even going to bother explaining it again for the 3 billionth time!

They're not saying that 50 people caught it, only that as many as 50 people have been exposed. It has to be related to sexual activity or needles such as drugs, tatoos, or peircings. Perhaps the person who started all of this has been peircing kid's ears or doing little jail-house tatoos.

In order to protect the privacy of the 50 possibly exposed, they're funneling the entire school through the gym for the opportunity to be tested or to refuse.

“Jasmine Lane, a 16-year-old sophomore, said her boyfriend from a neighboring high school broke up with her on learning of the news — after she bought them tickets to homecoming.

“I cried so hard,” she said.”

He dumped her? And she had homecoming tickets? Whaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! I hope she hadn’t bought her dress! Gag.

MAGIC JOHNSON IS STILL ALIVE YOU STUPID...

If you're having trouble getting people to listen to you, perhaps you should consider changing the way you deliver the message.

I'm not saying... I'm just saying...

[razorback-bert]

Why were there 50 blood transfusions?

Oh, there wasn’t, then it is Magic.
