An unidentified San Diego resident may be infected with the same rare, aggressive and highly drug-resistant strain of HIV found last week in a New York City man who has rapidly become ill with AIDS, health officials said yesterday.
"(The local person's) HIV has a similar molecular makeup as the patient in New York City," said Dr. Nancy Bowen, the San Diego County public health officer who held a press conference about the finding yesterday afternoon in San Diego.
It's important to notify the public about a new and possibly supervigorous strain of HIV so people can take extra precautions, Bowen said. But "I don't think it will do anybody any good to get panicked about this," she said, emphasizing that many details are still being sorted out.

No sympathy, here. Not sorry.
Keep your mouth & rump closed, trousers up and zipped. Exits and entrances aren't interchangeable, IMO.

Don't panic. He won't have it for long.

I knew one of the first AIDS fatalities in the US over 25 years ago. He was from Wichita, Kansas.

How aggressive is it and what is the pathology? Is it standard for HIV? I mean, we know it's "meaner" but what if it mutates beyond it's current MOT? Just damn...

S.D man? I would have guessed Tom Daschell, but he's not really a man...

It seems like the cell phone ad with the guy walking around saying "Can you hear me now?". In this case it appears that God has gotten a little clearer.

No it isn't. Just notify the homo communtity since they are the only ones who should care.

Oh great. I had just posted on another thread that it was hard to take this seriously until another case developed.

Health officials said the New York patient reportedly had unsafe anal sex with hundreds of partners while taking crystal methamphetamine. I'm sure he will stop all that once the evil Right-wing BushCo fascists allow gay marriage.

Sorry,but be careful before you post things like that.
My Godson died of AIDS in 1984 from a bad blood transfusion he had in 1982. He was 22,straight,and had an accident requiring surgery. This was in San Franciso.

This is what the arrogant polesmokers get for thinking that they can slam each other's hams with impugnity, and the worst they'll have to do is pop a cocktail of pills at the taxpayers' expense if they catch The Big A from one of the 50 organ grinders they pulled a Ned Beatty on the week before. I pity them, but I have no sympathy.
