A new form of AIDS has been discovered in Los Angeles, one which is untreatable.
Reasearchers have warned of the appearance of new strains of HIV, which due to patients abusing treatment programmes, have developed into super viruses which do not react to tradtional retroviral treatment.
It is claimed by the National Institutes of Health and the University of California that these super viruses are spreading fast in San Franciso among both the heterosexual and homosexual communities.
The reasearchers blame the attitude of average Americans for the current situation, stating that people have stopped taking the disease seriously and have ceased to practice safe sex.
Also therapies with drugs are not being respected, with patients in many cases beginning treatment and suspending during its course, making the virus multi-resistant to future therapies.
The researchers also claim that tens of thousands of people living in San Francisco have the new virus and that it is the new, multi-resistant strain of the virus which is passed on.
Given that California was one of the first focal points in the worldwide AIDS epidimic, it would be logical to assume that the same phenomenon will appear elsewhere in the coming years.
Given that the HIV virus is the one of the fastest to mutate, this seems like more of a certainty than a possibility.
Well, being an atheist fag is certainly a punishment. There can be no argument there.
This article came from PRAVDA, a Russian newspaper. I guess I'll have to start reading that formerly communist rag if I want the complete news.
Who'da thought?
Good point. Natural selection doesn't look so appealing when you're the one being (de)selected.
"I can no longer sit back and allow gay infiltration , gay indoctrination, gay subversion, and the international gay conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids... "
While is isn't at all impossible for such a thing to happen, and it's proven that it does in bacterial diseases such as tuberculosis, there is no evidence yet that HIV has developed a strain resistant to the protease inhibitors that constitute the current treatment regimen. In answer to the question posed earlier, vaccines are difficult to devise in this particular disease because vaccines depend on the immune system to work, and this disease attacks that mechanism directly. It's sort of like building a wooden wall to keep termites out.
Stifling conversation isn't something a true Rush fan would do.
That is not an accurate statement of my beliefs. Such simplistic statements are more effective at clouding the truth than revealing it. Any theology that can be defined in 'bumper sticker' terms isn't going to suit me very well.
I think some things are the result of our living in a fallen world.
If God had created AIDS to punish homosexuals, every homosexual on the planet would be dead already and Ryan White and Kim Bergalis would still be alive.
Seems pretty simple, doesn't it? Of course since most fags are leftists the idea that actions have consequences is beyond their grasp.
Then why is there no AIDS outbreak amongst lesbians?
