New Untreatable Form of AIDS Virus Discovered in Los Angeles (10,000+ infected in San Francisco)
Pravda English Wire ^ | 7-2-2002 | Timothy Bancroft Hinchey

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.

Quarrantine.

Works when it is caught in time.

Makes sense, it wont spread any where after that.

It was only a matter of time. This thing will never be beatable, it mutates too fast.

The only problem with a quarrantine is that if every country isn't doing it then they'll just migrate and continue to spread it.

Why are they blaming the average American -- why not put the blame where it belongs -- in the gay community and especially the folks that consider themselves bi-sexual who have managed to transmit AIDs into the heterosexual community! This person from flyover country resents being tossed in with the SF and LA folks!

Is it possible for someone to slip infected blood where it might infect someone else on a large scale with the HIV 'super virus?'

I think the first report in Africa of the super virus was only 5-6 years ago..

And someone (most likely in the gay community) had to bring it over from where the super virus mutated.

I had thought we were doing thorough checks from those areas in Africa where the mutations occurred.

"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."

Once again, the Sodomites have demonstrated the wisdom of the Biblical injunctions against pervereted and unnatural sexual acts.

--Exactly. This "average American" and everyone he associates with is in almost zero danger from AIDS and intends for it to stay that way.

Maybe the "reasearchers" scribe needs to learn to spell, too--

Its a lie its rampant among heterosexuals. By heteros the researchers principally mean drug addicts and prostitutes and johns who don't practice safe sex. Now let's cut to the chase and reveal what every one knows about AIDS but which isn't politically correct to say in public: that homosexuality is an unhealthy lifestyle and hazardous to human health. As in the appearance of the new super AIDS virus in American gay communities. Now there's a fact the heterophobes of GLAAD and GLSEN and all the glowing portrayal of gay characters on TV show are loath to tell the heterosexual world. As a result its entirely possible one will have to choose between one's health and one's sexuality preferences. All in all the bottom line now is its news the gay lobby just does not want to hear. BEING GAY IS DEADLY TO ONE'S LIFE.

I guess that depends on what you mean by large scale. Maybe at a blood bank distribution location, but then again ...maybe.

Is this for real? Why do we have to find out about a new strain of AIDS in California from PRAVDA?

Pravda's "Truth" is always suspect. AIDS has never been curable, only treatable. The facts are that it is avoidable, but not 100% avoidable. Those that risk acquiring the virus understand that they are at risk but choose to engage in risky behavior anyway. My response? Bon Voyage down the River Hades. The exceptions are, of course, victims who acquire the virus through transfusions and children born of an AIDS plagued parent. For them, it is a lottery win in reverse.

Because anyone who reports this story stateside will be branded a 'racist, homophobe, bigot.'

Pravda is just reporting the results of the scientific study.

This is a terrible source folks. Pravda had turned into almost the Weekly World News of Russia. I doubt this story is true since they are the first source. If anybody thinks a half broke inaccurate Russian paper is the first people to get this story from the United States, I have a square in Moscow to sell to you.
