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.

Is this S.D. man a regular at the DU?

[Caipirabob]

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...

[evolved_rage]

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

[taxesareforever]

It's important to notify the public about a new and possibly supervigorous strain of HIV so people can take extra precautions,

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.

[spodefly]

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.

Talk about "chickens coming home to roost", after too much pushin' at the back....

[Viking2002]

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.

[sgtbono2002]

You can bet your butt(no pun intended) that if one guy in San Diego has it he has planted his seed and the seed of the new strain of HIV in someone elses butt. These guys spread HIV like peanut butter.

[speed_addiction]

This will surely be an epidemic by summer. The signs are all there. The numbers of partners these guys are having over a short time and the lack of safeguards but wealth of drugs.

The guy in NY got it from somebody, no telling how many men he had sex with. At a drugs and bareback party he could have easily infected (a low number here) 3(?) others (quite possibly more). The circles this guy was running in probably mirrored his behavior. 3 a week per guy with each new infection nailing another 3 a week? Unbelieveable numbers can be reached in a very short time.

That this strain appears to be so aggressive may be a good thing. It will burn itself out and not break into the hetro population as stealthily as the original strain did.

[mabelkitty]

Whole lotta bad comments going on in this thread.
Love the sinner, hate the sin.
Don't darken your hearts.

Pray the guy doesn't suffer, and pray he didn't pass it on. Pray that there are those who will learn lessons from this new supervirus.

Have compassion.

An unidentified San Diego resident...

Of course they can't identify the homosexual carrying it, that might interfere with his nightlife of spreading this among his fellow perverts.

Who am I kidding, that would probably make even more popular with the "bug chasers" crowd.

Diversity is our strength right?

[FightforFreedomCA]

ahhh...let the self righteousness of the freepers run wild. I love this forum, but hate the homophobic rants. I am opposed 100% to the homosexual agenda, but you have no idea who this guy is and what his story involves. The NY guy, yeah, he pretty much brought it on himself. And btw, being a gluttonous lardass is as much of a sin as being a homosexual. Donut anyone?

[bray]

Gee, I wonder how he caught it??? Playing Rump Roulette is a dangerous game.
