Hey, thanks.
200 encounters sounds made up, but even if were 1000, the odds are only 1%, max. More likely 0.1%.
Not condoning the behaviour in the least, but staying on topic, no normal heterosexual got infected. The odds speak.
The vast, vast majority of real AIDS cases are gay men, drug users, or somebody already with the clap.
If somebody not in that group did get infected by this woman, I will admit I am wrong.
I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

A lot? You're going to have to define that; ...Well, you're right about what a lot means in comparison to the general population. As with all relative things, it would depend on an individuals perception. After all, 1,000,000 is less than .05% of the general population in the U.S., and not even a noteworthy percentage of the world population. OTOH, some people would consider 10,000 or 100,000 to be a lot. What's it mean to you?
5 or 10 tricks a day isn't exactly rare for prostitutes in the big cities. Most would barely make a living with that many. Of course, it could also depend on what the definition of sex is, you know. From what I've heard from my cop aquaintances, a large part of it is the Monica type of sex now, and we all know that that isn't really sex.

I still can't understand why men would have sex with women with a condom on ...... Ummm....you aren't serious, are you?
Yes, I am. What's the point of having a one night stand. You date, it gets more serious, you both get screened, iof she deosn't use B/C then I could see why you would use one, but if you're not sure she's clean .... don't do it.

Only takes a few bad apples to ruin things for a LOT of people. :-(
Then again, those that abstain from risky sex aren't very likely going to catch anything from her or her partners.

Well, I certainly agree with the point about the one-night stands. I guess I should have thought a little more carefully about the whole context of your post. My viewpoint was more along the lines of people who know they are in a relationship for the long haul. Of course, the truly Christian viewpoint is to save one'self for marraige, but we all know that sometimes that simply doesn't happen.
