muck4doo: .6% adult population under these stats would equal over 1.4 million with HIV, unless I have my math wrong.

That's a lot of people to round up and tattoo.

stonicus: Can we tattoo "BAD DRIVER" on people's foreheads, so you don't accidentally ride with them?
--------
muck4doo
That should be painted on their car. I could go for that.

What if they borrow someone else's car? No, it has to be on their forhead. And, go ahead and tattoo "CLUMSY" on people's face as well, lest they slip and cut you with a sharp object.


Disagree. I can't see their face while I'm driving. I want it plastered on their car where I can see it easily.

Or maybe they found condoms?

Sure, condoms greatly reduce the risk, but they don't guarantee immunity. 20 years is a long time to be infected and not even know it...

Since when is using condoms a hate crime?

stonicus: Barakku:Why is the tat thing so farking evil? We're talking about people that lie about a fatal disease for a fark. They wanna fark like animals and not use condoms or common sense/decency, treat 'em like farking animals.

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. So, your solution is to calssify ALL people with AIDS as liars and scum? Sorry about your uncle, but unless you can stop arguing emotionally on the topic, instead of logically, than your voice will not be heard.


We have two situations here:

Asshole: Won't tell his partners. Tatto needed

Nice person: Willing to tell their partners. Tatto is a slight hurdle at first glance, but nothing they aren't going to say themselves.

Now, if people managed to wrap their dicks in some kind of protective wrapper, and were taught about it in highschool...nah.

Everyone who is HIV+ doesn't farking lie about it, asswipe.
The ones that do...yes, they are shiat. Don't group all people into one category.


As I kinda just said...a nice person will tell anyway...so the tatto is only doing the harm of not letting them put it nicely.
There exists no person that both suffers extreme harm for said tat (assuming it's hidden from the public) and is open about it.

I suspect they're rounding them up more because if they have HIV it means that they were doing something that Islam forbids, therefore they are guilty.

I was that way once, sweetheart, so I know you a lot better than you think. You think you are so intelligent, and have the answers to everything. Well, you know what, you don't. You want the easy way out, which is stigmatizing a group of people, so you don't have to deal with it. Learn from history before it's too late. But I forgot, you won't.


the stigma thing only works if everyone knows. the only people that need to know are potential partners or needle sharers.
and based on testing, i'm smarter than 99% of people, so for now I will keep thinking i'm intelligent.

dj_bigbird: We quarantine people with TB, why not AIDS?

Because you can catch TB from across the room or from an inanimate object that made contact hours after the infected person has been there.

AIDS on the other hand requires direct blood to blood transfer. TO achieve that you need bad blood handling (unscreened blood transfusion), (prolonged) sexual contact, or needle sharing.

You are either trolling or woefully uneducated.

The vast majority of sexually transmitted HIV infections are from carriers unaware of his or her status. Lying is not necessarily a factor.

If testing positive could result in being tattooed or forcibly relocated, nobody in their right minds would get themselves tested voluntarily. The only way that system could work is if there was a program of mandatory tests, including a draconian government agency to enforce the program with threat of prison, there's no way the system you're describing could work. And I for one would not want to live in that society.

May I propose a less fascistic alternative (pops)?

And this will NEVER EVER be abused by anyone that is in control of the marking. And people with the "mark" will NEVER EVER be subject to any kind of stigma or ostracizing. Because the mark will be "hidden". I see your point, but it never worked before and won't work now.

exactly. the ones who will tell a potential sex partner are good, and shouldn't object too much to a discreet tattoo. if people are only tattooed after transmitting to someone, then the plan fails, because transmission already happened. all people with AIDS/HIV are in the same category; the category of people who have AIDS/HIV

Just a quick question - You meet someone who tells you they are HIV+. Would you be willing to have sex with that person if you were wearing a condom?

Without dodging the question with "I'm married" or "I don't have sex with strangers" (etc, etc) would you rely 100% on that condom to protect you, and literally stake your life on that?

You keep bringing this up as a solution that's all...

Sounds to me that you want to have sex an not use a condom or actually have to discuss and talk about HIV and AIDS with a partner.

Get over it, we all have to deal with this problem. Not make finding sex easier for you.

As someone who has been positive since 1990 I am so fascinated that no one takes responsibility for their own actions and being an idiot and having unprotected sex.

I don't play the victim. I got it being an idiot and not using protection. It is no one else's fault but my own.

Considering that the highest growth segments of the HIV+ population are young white women I doubt that.

Also what religion that forbids tattoos, forbids blood transfusions?

/other than JWes of course
/highest percentage growth
//it had traditionally been very low

If you're having sex with someone for any period of time, or if you want to lose the protection, you really should get tested. There are clinics in most cities that offer cheap tests on a wide range of common STDs. If the fella is shy about going in to get tested at one of those "dirty gay clinics," you can donate blood together and compare the cards you get back in the mail. Then at least you know the bloodtype! That won't find nasty STDs tho.

Condoms are important, but so is getting checked. You can't be too careful these days. Using condoms and getting checked with new lovers can allow you to be a complete hussy without getting (or giving)any nasty surprises.

Uh, I've gambled my life on way lower odds than 99.97 (or is that the baby number)%, so if I really loved someone...yep.

Random person at a bar? It'd be a turn-off, but being hetero means my odds are lower (technically being gay nor does gay sex increase the risk, it's the specific act of anal that increases the risk, due to increased risk of bleeding [do not want]). But I'd definitely have to think about it.

But for reference, I am talking proactive, not reactive, about the condoms. We'd probably nib the problem in the butt if we weren't all "snowflakes" about public education.

A girl giving me head, it needs to be somewhere she can see mine and I can see hers.

Me giving the girl head, same thing.

I don't see a common location for both cases where the tattoo is 100% going to be shown. And what about makeup? My friend wore makeup on a tattoo he had on his leg to hide it from his dad. His dad didn't know it was there for almost 7 years.
