If it's the letter you posted here, then I read it. I saw that you posted many ways that it could be transmitted and your suggestion that people have mandatory screening.

We've all suggested ways of preventing transmission, none of which involve tattoos, yet you keep coming back to this idea even though it is not a viable option. I cannot comprehend why you're not getting that.*

I must have overlooked those prevemtive measures even though I have read those which followed my firas entry.. Could you refresh my memory? If you do I promise not to post here again.

Wear a condom.
Don't share needles.

I figured this out 30 years ago. Neither one is difficult.

Here is where I first posted in this thread. I guess it was a different thread where we mentioned all of those preventative measures before, but there's a link to it in this post. So if you go to that thread, you'll see a lot more.

I'm getting the weirdest feeling of deja vu. Have we (TFS) had this conversation before? And was it about this? I mean...it was almost exactly "EVERYBODY SHOULD BE TESTED FOR _________ AND THE CARRIERS SHOULD BE ID'D!!!"

Wish I could remember what it was. I'm 99% certain it was Wash's idea too...

Yep...here it is. https://www.theforumsite.com/forum/topic/US-May-Renege-On-AIDS-Assistance-Committment-to-Third-World/405929

But don't worry, they were posted here too.

How hard is it to be that careful of your bodily fluid contact? Use condoms, don't touch other people's blood, don't share needles. Get yourself tested, insist that any partner get tested before you get into a serious relationship (unprotected sex). It's really not that difficult.

Agreed. How hard is it to NOT sleep with someone until testing is done and use condoms for that six month mark. I think it can take up to six months to test positive? Use super safe sex until well in the relationship.
Having voluntary unsafe sex is up to the individual, but stupid if you have it IMO. It is well known how HIV can spread.

@boxerdc Said

Using condoms and not sharing needles is really all it takes. So, why all this fuss about a virus that is not easy to transmit, and is easy to avoid, if you don't have a bias about the "type" of people who you believe get it?

@boxerdc Said

It's pretty easy to avoid sharing needles, and it's also pretty easy to put on a condom. Pregnant women are routinely tested for HIV and encouraged not to breastfeed..

So.. your CONTACT fears are really unwarranted.

Open your eyes or hire a seeing eye person to read for you.

I spent over 40 years solving problems. Stating what HAD to be done so as not to have those problems again. Just remember that prevention is NOT a voluntary option. It MUST be applied to each individual, No exceptions. Tgat is all!

You have not solved a problem.. You've decided upon a "solution" that will not solve anything, and despite literally dozens of people here telling you exactly why your "solution" won't work, you keep pushing it.

That's not a sign of a problem solver.. that's a sign of an atrophied mind.

I agree. I had a sister that was HIV positive. They said "We can give you medication and nothing else." Well, if it is that bad then you should have started doing something BEFORE this point in time. Someone gets Ebola or the bird flu and everyone wants to stay inside, lock their doors, wear masks, wash their hands and all because the CDC or Department of Public Health told them to while they rush to find a cure. But, somebody is HIV positive and they say "Here's some meds. Sorry. That's all we can do." and other people treat them the same way as if they have a highly contagious disease, but finding a cure is on the back burner (it seems).

If they cure it, they will run out of customers for their treatment.
If patients die too quickly (Ebola), they will run out of customers for their treatment.
