Do you think its good that companies are using their products to help HIV/AIDS victims

Do you think its good that companies are using their products to help HIV/AIDS victims?
...I was thinking that its a bad idea. YOU give them the pills, and they go around living longer and having more unprotected sex spreading the virus. I think its mean, to want them to die..but isn't that the best option?

well i dont think all of them are having unprotected sex some might but not all but most ppl should be compastionate n like wear condoms

NO! If you could only imagine yourself in someones shoes who suffers from this disease. It can be caused by one mistake, and you can never take it back. I am hopeful that people that KNOW they have it will tell their partner. But to have them just die because of a mistake is horrible. Most people do not know they have AIDS that is why getting tested is important. I just got tested a few months ago and was scared as all hell....cuz it just takes one time, and condoms arent 100% effective. But NO, they need meds and deserve to live as long as possible. :)

No I dont think so there are babies w/ hiv they are not spreading it & children & ppl w/ blood transfusions no I think its good comp. are doing community service work & not just keeping the profits Think of iot this way u went to hospital got a blood transfusion & caught the virus would u spread it? would u want help You are talking about a small irresponcible percentage~ I think u need some education hope this gave u some

Why do uncircumcised people have higher chance of obtaining HIV/AIDS

This theory is not proven as this may be true for some STD's but not HIV, vice versa. However in theory when you are uncircumcised you have more skin surrounding the head of the penis which creates a reservoir for fluids like vaginal fluid or blood. (Did I just use the word reservoir to describe foreskin? LOL yes I did) if the foreskin tears during sex, it creates a gateway for fluids to fluid transmission if unprotected. Hope that makes sense
3 :
I always thought it was the fact the uncircumcised people whose skin is sensitive and more permeable than those that are circumsized at birth and have built up thicker skin over the years from friction.
4 :
? They don't. I'm going off of research and scientific evidence. MANY studies have proven the "circumcision prevents HIV" theory to be false. Circumcision has nothing to do with HIV/AIDS (or STDs, for that matter).
5 :
They don't. And there is no evidence that they do. The original assertion was made in 1986 was made when AIDS was thought to be a Gay Plague = since disproved. The infamous research in Africa was terminated before Final Report because 23% of the circumcised boys turned up with STDs. And the U S A with highest circumcision rates in Western World has highest HIV+ So to answer your question = they don't. +
6 :
Mike they don't If you have unprotected sex with a infected person circumcised or not you are at risk for getting infected with ANY std. anyone that does not know the sexual history of thier partner should protect themselves. curtdude uncutdude

WHY should a Christian die of HIV/AIDS, if our cure has been provided in the cross for us

Because religion is the least effective cure for anything.

Spiritually healed, not physically. His death has nothing to do with our life or suffering on Earth...only after.

Quit drinking paint. Nobody should die of AIDS. Yet religion teaches abstinence in Africa to curb it.. See how well that is working?
5 :
The Apostle Paul suffered much in his life and ministry. A litany of that suffering can be found in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27. Paul was killed for his testimony and according to universal tradition was decapitated after a long imprisonment. However, during this time, he wrote this testimony to Timothy: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that dayâ€”and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing" (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Another purpose for suffering is to be a witness to those watching that God's grace and strength is sufficient to enable a believer to stand in that suffering (2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul also gives us an example as to how we should view suffering as a child of God. "But he said to me, â€˜My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.â€™ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). And Paul also said, "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). Therefore, however a believer dies, in suffering or in relative peace, it is but a transition to "face to face" with the LORD. Once that transition has been made, all of the sorrow and pain of the suffering will end. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away" (Revelation 21:4).

A person who gets AIDS did it by not living a Christian lifestyle. God is not going to reward you with being cured when you are ungodly.
9 :
Our diseases are not universally healed genius. They can be healed thru prayer but we are universally saved by his stripes of the condemnation of death. Death and its power is a shadow to a christian. Why are atheists able to read words but not understand a single syllable? God Bless
10 :
What are you talking about? no TRUE christian would die of HIV/AIDS lol /endsarcasm
11 :
Why should Christians die of anything but old age, one may ask? The cross is for Christians' souls, not for any disease or accident the world may bring. You are, I think, confusing spiritual salvation with earthly comfort. I'm afraid we are all the same regarding the latter. C.
12 :
Our cure for SIN has been provided in the cross, not our cure for physical discomfort or sickness or distress or persecutions or trials or testings. In fact, we are told expressly that we WILL suffer in this life as disciples of Christ. Jhn 16:33 These things I Jesus) have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - (this was said to believers)
13 :
"By your stripes we are healed" is speaking of salvation of the soul. Cures don't come from the cross. Don't forget, Christ cured many people before he was crucified.

Which areas of the world are likely to show an increase in hiv/aids cases in the future

Which areas of the world are likely to show an increase in hiv/aids cases in the future?
Any reasons for this trend?
STDs - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
All areas of the world are likely to show an increase in HIV/AIDS. There will be a higher increase in HIV/AIDS in developing countries that have lower education on HIV/AIDS and in countries that have more higher risk groups for HIV/AIDS. Countries that have more prostitutes and lower condom use will see a significant increase compared to other countries. My prediction is that in about 10 years time the Philippines is going to make headline news, due to an explosion of HIV/AIDS, like Thailand did a few years back. This will be due to their ignorance about HIV transmission, large number of working prostitutes, and low condom use.
2 :
YOU REALLY NEVER KNOW BECAUSE ITS EVERYWHERE AND PLUS ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW THEY GOT IT
3 :
Well the United States is already showing some increase, partly I believe due to the next generation and their desensitization of HIV. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "Well Magic got it and he's still alive. I'll just take pills for it and it's fine". Outside the United States it is the areas that have the highest rates of poverty. Condom use and prostitution are not just isolated things to fix. If a person doesn't have anything to eat and they need to sell their body to obtain money and the person is willing to pay more to not use a condom, the person is clearly going to not use a condom. There are two important things to remember when talking about safer sex. (1) Are all the person's basic necessities met? I can talk to someone about the importance of condoms but if they're starving my education means crap to them. I sometimes ask people if they've ever not eaten for a day and how their mood and behavior changes. We can't spend our resources on just isolated education without understanding the larger dynamic. The other important factor is (2) an individuals self worth. If I don't care anything about myself why would I use a condom? What would be the point? If we help the economic disaster some of these countries are in and give people productive activity that earns them income, then we can raise a person's self worth.
4 :
The United States of America. The encouragement to all from the youngest to the eldest of the citizenry is to be or become â€œsexyâ€ and to become and enjoy being sexually active. There is now a plethora of drugs and apparatuses to enable sexual activity and to increase the enjoyment to the participants. Instead of promoting exercise to hopefully better oneâ€™s health, exercise is used to encourage shaping the body so that the individual can look and feel â€œsexyâ€. Although everyone thatâ€™s sexually active is being warned and encouraged to use prophylactics, male and female, they donâ€™t. They are warned and encouraged to get regularly tested for the HIV and other STDsâ€¦they donâ€™t. Because the money to be made is in the selling of the drugs that enable some to not succumb as quickly to the HIV, too many are being duped into believing that â€œliving with the HIV/AIDSâ€ is the solution rather than continuing to focus on finding a cure.

AIDS is huge and growing problem in China. They barley acknowledge that the disease exists there at all. Treatment is almost non existent in China.... goat horn might put lead in your pencil in the mythical world of herbal medicine, but in the real world of medicine, it takes genuine, expensive drugs to treat the condition.
2 :
The other day, I heard some caller to a radio talk claim that the HIV/AIDs rate in China was 90% -- obviously ridiculous. I found one estimate of 650,000 cases: http://www.avert.org/aidschina.htm

have you been watching Foxnews again , you silly boy.
4 :
Considering the huge disparity between the number of men and women in China (through government policy) most of the men in the military probably have very little chance of getting themselves a woman. So it comes down to a few choices; no sex, homosexuality, sex through conquest (an asian tradition), or have sex reassignment surgery for some of the men. Which choice do you like? Of course the Chinese could cure Aids the same way they cure drug addiction; they put them against the wall and shoot them. Next the sell the fresh organs to rich Americans for transplants.

What's the percentage of having STD/HIV/AIDS in just 2 sexual encounters

What's the percentage of having STD/HIV/AIDS in just 2 sexual encounters?
Not sure if he has it so I ask him to used condom but we had oral sex. Is it still possible to have it even if neither of us have no sores in the mouth?

1 :
yes. just because you can't see or feel it, you could still have an open wound in your mouth.
2 :
2 unprotected encounters and i found myself with a minor STD! it's always best to play it safe, unless you fully trust the person you're sleeping with.
3 :
If it was an infected partner, could be 100%
4 :
If your only exposure was oral, then your risk is very low. Risk of contracting HIV from a single episode of oral sex is estimated around 1 in 10000. This is true, if your partner was infected, which is very unlikely as most people do not have HIV specially in north america... So to summarize, it is extremely unlikely that you contracted HIV from this 2 episoded (the risk would be around 1 in 5000). For other STDs, there is a low risk BUT oral sex is not a very efficient way to transmit STD, so the risk is low there (it is not zero though). Go get tested for HIV around 6-8 weeks after your last exposure and then confirm it with a 3 months conclusive test. expect a negative result. For other STDs, ask your healthcare provider for the window period and when you should get tested.
5 :
It is possible for you to get an STD from only one exposure. Many STDs do not have symptoms, but can be transmitted even without symptoms, so you can not assume that "no symptoms" means "no STDs".
6 :
If you had oral, the risk is VERY low. And unprotected oral really isn't a big deal, especially if your mouth is clean. I had a client, young, had sex 2 times with the same person and got a STD, when we tested we also tested for HIV and my client was HIV+ as well and only 16. The partner, a older man, friend of the family didn't even know he was HIV+.
7 :
0 chance...you only get AIDS off a toilet seat....

I recently reviewed a case in New Jersey where a young African American was sleeping with underaged high school girls and giving them HIV knowing he had the virus he spread the virus to hundreds of girls, He is currently on trial. As far as strippers here in America I can honestly say most of the ones ive met really dont sleep with their clients.
