From Mbuttachusetts! 2113On Fri, 25 Feb 2005 11:56:29 -0500, "R Palino" We do, however, still have a large number of homoloveuals f***ing each other in the butt, bareback! This has brought us to the edge of... Aside from you snipping the quote (particularly snipping statements made by nationally known experts), you might consider the paragraph that preceeded the quote above: To date, the virus has been spotted only once, in an unidentified 46-year-old gay man who reported having hundreds of unprotected loveual encounters, often under the influence of crystal methamphetamine. Now, "wbt" claimed this was a virulent, fast-acting strain of the HIV virus. The man in question reported having hundreds of unprotected loveual encounters, and had 10 partners from the start of his illness (i.e, symptoms) in early November until late December (when he stopped due to being too sick to function), shortly after he was tested in mid-December. That test turned out positive (his previous tests were all negative, but he stopped regular testing in May 2003, which was when he had his last test before the one in December). So, why then to date do we only see 1 case? Unlike the early 1980s, we have medical tests that can detect the virus, and I'm sure quite a few of his partners have been tested after being contacted by public health officials. It is simply idiotic to jump to conclusions until researchers determine what is actually going on here. So I'd say that "wbt" (aka Bill Talyor) has once again made a fool of himself. What else is new?
