I was led to believe that it doesn't kill you at all, strictly speaking.

As I understand it, HIV breaks down the immune system to such an extent that you become extremely vulnerable to other illnesses. Hence people with the virus tend to die of things like pneumonia.

And you'd be right

Most heterosexual infections are bi sexual men giving it to women

I'd be interested to know where you got that from?! Sounds like bullshit to me

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

why do you say that

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its a plian fact it is much harder for a man to caught HIV from an hiv + woman than a woman to catch HIV from an hiv + man

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Thank you

The important thing here is that someone has died sadly young, perhaps on reflection, the cause is none of our business?

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Because ive just done a 2,500 word essay on HIV / Aids, and i didnt see that stat anywhere in my research!

You're welcome!

Exactly, just because he may have been gay doesnt mean he had HIV!! How is it our business anyway?!

Read, and the shut the f*** up, thanks.

I seriously doubt it, given the far lower prevelance of infection in bi/homosexual relationships to begin with these days. If you're putting forward random theories, I'd suggest that heterosexual drug users are the widest spreaders of HIV to heterosexual women - drug use being one of the main transmission vectors. The infection rate for receptive unprotected vaginal sex is only 20% that of receptive unprotected anal sex, but those practising anal sex are far more bombarded with safety warnings (whether they chose to listen to them or not).

Statistically the chances of catching hiv from an hiv positive partner on a one off event is

Woman to man protected sex 5000/1
Woman to man un protected sex 500/1
Man to Man un protected anal sex 33/1

Well its none of my business but I just wondered.

What does annoy me though is that the BBC just say he's died and because he was one of theirs, don't give a reason. If it was anyone else they would have 10 cameras plonked on his doorstep with every personal detail of his life bandied around.

But that's in Ireland! I thought we were talking about the real world?

gives - 5 in 10000 for the second (2000/1); no figures for the first.

Remember, however, that in anal sex theres a receptive and non receptive partner. The receptive partner has, according to those US govt. figures, a 50 in 10000 chance (200, not 33) of infection, and the insertive partner a 6.5 in 10000 chance.

All of which are odds I'd still rather not to take with my life, though.

Are these your odds or do you actually have a source?! I'm genuinely interested!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

the figures are fact

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

WHERE?! My GOD you are so annoying!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I try my best

Is that your way of saying you never intend to have sex?

I was quoting unprotected figures. It'd be rather late to back out of it all together...

If you've nothing useful to contribute, I'd suggest going back in to your corner and continuing to wank yourself silly and not bothering anyone else, OK?
