janks369: because people lie for sex. do you think people get AIDS intentionally for fun?

Why not accept the very real fact if someone has unprotected sex they're putting themselves at risk, willingly, for an STD. Your logic fails and is intended to ignore that basic fact..so you get a warm fuzzy feeling that you can have big goverment protect you.

For someone that claims to be 'republican' you don't seem to grasp the concept of personal responsibility.

Although, a quarantined tropical island with all the free marijuana and froo froo drinks they want might just be paradise to many of them.

janks369: muck4doo: BearToy: janks369: Jews are not a disease.

No. And neither are homosexuals but we got a little pink triangle arm band to make sure we could be rounded up for the "re-education" camps.

Marking people with AIDS would only give the non-infected a way to not have sex with people who have AIDS.

If you don't assume every person you have sex with has HIV and every other STD imaginable and protect yourself accordingly then you richly deserve whatever you get.

Seriously.. we don't see people with your level of blatant stupidity that much anymore. You should probably be studied. But that might take awhile so please, for the sake of the gene pool:

No really. Do us a favor.

what the hell. this isn't about being gay, it's about AIDS. i know gays were also persecuted by Hitler, but how is that relevant? and as I said, it would be hidden by clothing most of the time, so 99.999% of people would never know.
The only problem with that is some people don't take off their clothes until it is dark. So victims wouldn't see it. How about stitching their anus shut and re-routing the colon to their sides so they can still poo?

well then, my crazy idea is to turn a f*cking light on. if they won't turn a light on, they are probably ugly as hell, so no real loss.


Wait, are you saying ugly people don't have aids?
 
2008-02-16 10:41:38 PM
Dunit: Hibno: I think most people who give somebody AIDS give it to them before they find out they have it. By the time you lock up AIDS victims, the damage has already been done. It's nothing but punishing somebody for contracting a disease.

Correct. You could have HIV for literally 10 years before even seeing symptoms of any illness.


if you were going to the quarantine thing, i'd guess there would be a mandatory blood screening for everyone. otherwise it would be pointless and piss off people

I personally have known someone who was hiv+ and would brag about his exploits and threaten to infect people when he got into an argument.

muck4doo: Wait, are you saying ugly people don't have aids?

no, if the AIDS symbol program existed, and if you were going to have sex with a rando who refused to let a light be on, you couldn't see the symbol, so you wouldn't have sex, but it wouldn't matter because they must be ugly.

a perfect sentence.

Then people would not get tested.

Most of the spread is done before they know they are infected. All we need is free and compulsory AIDS testing.

Quick cheat summary for the trolls:

A quarantine policy for viruses like HIV, which can hide in the body for years, will only cause people to NOT get tested for HIV/AIDS, and will cause those who do suspect they have it to hide it. Making it harder to detect. This includes branding people with a barcode, or making them wear a star of David or something also. A shame list would also have the similar effect.

By the way, this is why you do not make public health policy here, because you don't think things all the way through.

As it stands now people must take personal responsibility to not get it, and to not spread it. If you know you have AIDS, and you spread it, you can be charged with murder. It's happened.

Ha, leads me to a funny thought; most of the douches that are advocating a quarantine would most likely otherwise beat their chests about personal responsibility at any given chance they have. How quickly they shed that heavy millstone when it comes to something they fear.

I say set up a special city for the HIV-positive. At least they won't have to worry about infecting someone by mistake that way, and the rest of the population won't have to worry about getting infected. Doctors in the city will know to take special precautions, and can get hazard pay for serving there.



So, they would be separate from the rest of society but still equal?

I agree that if someone is HIV+ it should be taken into consideration for certain positions (surgeons, butchers, prostitutes), but I'm not sure it's ok to segregate someone from society based on a disability.

I'm fine with tattooing a nice, big, scarlet "AIDS" across the infected's foreheads.

If they did so, my uncle would still be alive, because his whore of a boyfriend knew he was HIV positive and gave it to him on purpose. Was tested, and lied through his farking teeth because he "didn't want to be alone."

Now my uncle is dead because someone didn't want their feelings hurt.

j0ndas: I don't think HIV-positive people should be put in mandatory isolation, but I do think that the current US policy of hiding people's HIV status, or not allowing employers to discriminate based on it if they find out, is retarded. Either it's an incurable, dangerous blood-borne disease, or it isn't. If it is, you sure as heck better announce who has it so that people can take precautions, and keep anyone with HIV away from sharp objects and open wounds.

I say set up a special city for the HIV-positive. At least they won't have to worry about infecting someone by mistake that way, and the rest of the population won't have to worry about getting infected. Doctors in the city will know to take special precautions, and can get hazard pay for serving there.


Rarely I'm forced to say this, but the world would be better without you in it.

HIV positive people don't represent a threat to anyone they aren't farking. You can't isolate groups of people because some of them are arseholes. For instance, I'd hate to be isolated because I share the internets with you.

Just had a quick look on Wikipedia which says "Clinical latency can vary between two weeks and 20 years" so you are absolutely right.

I wonder if all the people advocating mandatory testing have themselves been tested just in case? Or are they all 100% sure that EVERY person they have had sex with in the past 20 years was HIV-?

Marking the AIDS/HIV infected is a little harsh. But, isn't it time for an instant test? It may be more possible than curing this beast. That may be a little easier to apply. But, problem being that the antibodies for the disease don't show up for 2-3 weeks so that doesn't do much good for test those who just got it, among other things.

No, I'm terribly sorry, but your uncle is dead because he was stupid about safe sex. Period. End of subject.

After I came out I assumed that absolutely everyone was HIV+. After much agonized internal dialog, 16 years ago I finally stopped letting a virus run my life through fear and decided to live with the man I love even though he is HIV+. Since then, we have both played with lots of other men together and apart. I am still HIV- because I will not do anything that might make me HIV+.

I'm totally ok with that. If you have AIDS and will lie about it to get laid, then get a tattoo. So, now all we need is a "lie to get laid" test. Do you have one? Nope.
