T...It isn't even as hard as you make it, Dave. To keep this PG-13, I'll just say that "normal" sex, even unprotected, is pretty damned safe unless one of the two of you are sporting any open wounds on your - ahem - <i>parts...</i> The rate of transmission in the normal kind of sex is vanishingly small, and in cases where it has happened, you can nearly always track it down to sores and wounds (possibly from other, previously existing infections).<br /><br />It is the "other kind" of sex - you know, the one that isn't really that normal unless you're Greek - that causes problems and transmits most of the AIDS. So what you're saying, while true, is even harder than it really has to be.<br /><br />I feel sorry for the folks that contracted AIDS in much the same way that I feel sorry for the motocross racer who broke his neck during a race and died. It is a shitty situation, it sucks, I feel badly for you and your family and truly wish that it had never happened to you. I'll even shed a tear for you at your funeral, and mean it. But you took your chances, and sometimes the result of jumping that 100 foot gap on your motorcycle is that you die. You had to know that. YOu had to know the risk you were taking, and you took it anyway because it was worth it.Goobernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237925.post-55617654144511980802011-12-03T11:41:52.599-07:002011-12-03T11:41:52.599-07:00...and that is why we shouldn't mess with tryi......and that is why we shouldn't mess with trying to "cure" AIDS - we're messing with Natural Selection when we do, and it's not NICE to mess with Mother Nature!Rivrdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685083857476811667noreply@blogger.com
