Isn't there a story somewhere that people who are naturally resistant to the Bubonic (or Pneumonic) Plague are also resistant to HIV/AIDS.

Which might or might not be true since you're not sure.

The experts agree: ppl who are naturally resistant to Bubonic Plague may or may not be resistant to HIV/AIDS

No, they reckon the selection pressure of Plague wasn't enough. It was probably originally a smallpox resistance, although it may also have contributed to plague resistance.Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

That's not true. Even in the days before anti-retroviral therapy most people infected lived for about ten years after becoming infected. How rapidly the disease progresses depends upon the route of infection. Those infected via sex have a longer "latent" period, about 10 years, while those infected via transfusion of contaminated blood products generally have the shortest, about 3 years. The disease also has tended to develop more rapidly in Afriicans than Americans and Europeans and in those with underlying debilitating diseases.Originally posted by VJ
What makes you think that this'd be some kind of new form of HI-virus? It's not that rare for it to take less than a year if you don't take any medicine.
I wonder if this strain has the same probabillity of infection via incidence of contact as the other strains? The risk of becoming infected by a single sexual encounter with an infected person is only 1 in 50 to 100 among Americans and 1 in 25 to 50 among Africans. If the probability of infection / contact is higher than the other strains than the number of people infected might not be lowered!
Then again, I'm wishing it to be true... if there'd me a new form of HIV which'd turn into AIDS within a very short timespan, it'd practically greatly lower the amount of people infected in the long run (and wipe out secularists & perverts quicker)."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

call me evil if you will.
I'm losing sympathy for this disease. I read about many unprotected sex partners and drug use.
Irresponsible behaviour.

Im starting to wonder if this is true and how it will affect those of us who work in the enviroment were they can be stuck with a needle by a person that has this new strain.When you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

Re: Potentially new, HORRENDOUS news... faster infecting HIV
here's a link, I don't know how legitimate they are. but here you go.Originally posted by Vesayen
A news story on my local radio said the New York health department found two men with a form of aids that mutated from HIV to full blown aids in 3 months... it can take 10 years.
I've been unable to find anything about this online.... if this is true... OY.
Anyone got a link to a "legitamite" news source with this info?

Only thing I can really add is the fact that if the virus dont kill these people the drugs will. 2 years ago working as a scrub nurse I got stabbed in the hand with a knife blade and the patient had hiv and hep b I took the drugs for 2 weeks and they made me sicker then anything i had ever felt. Since then i have undergone these tests every 3 months to make sure that i am not infected so far everything has been negative. Maybe time for me to call OSHA to check on this new strand.When you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.
