    Default New Strain of AIDS Virus

    There are articles about a new strain of the AIDS virus that becomes full blown AIDS in about three months. They say it's totally resistant to traditional drug therapy for the most part. It's scary stuff. With this knowledge, I think we should call it something else. How about ScAIDS. Like scary AIDS. Or maybe, BAIDS. Like, Bad Auto-Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Any ideas? Oh, and by the way. If you have a problem with this thread, please remove it. I apologize. And also, I want you to know, I have posted this thread of my own free will. My goddess has nothing to do with it. She's monitoring me right now.

    y'all funny!

    But to be serious, this does sound kind of scary. The patient in question is an NYC gay man in his mid-40's who had rampant unprotected butt love while high on crystal. Way to perpetuate a stereotype, dude.

    The NY Post (a lovely local tabloid) blared headlines about the new "Superbug".

    AIDS is especially frightening in it's ability to mutate and it's upsetting that so many people out there assume they can bo back to fucking bareback since the assume the protease inhibitor cocktail is basically a cure because there are so many people out there that have responded very well to it.

    AZ, way to go on having a bitch! Luv ya!

    Exactly.

    Lots of needless hype right now, with a lot more to be determined.

    There are already many different strains of HIV. This strain just happens to be more resistant to class three protease inhibitors . It already has a name for this particular multi-drug resistant strain it's called 3-DCR HIV. In "normal" HIV, ten to 20 percent of newly infected patients show resistance to a single antiviral drug. Resistance to more than one drug usually develops over the course of several years of drug therapy because of the virus's ability to mutate. So resistance to drugs and quick decline in health is what marks this strain different.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Let's not exaggerate. It could be nothing. Stay Calm.

    Robert Gallo, a co-discoverer of the Aids virus, told the NYT the combination may be just chance.

    "It can be the patient, not the virus that is rare," he said.

    Roger Pomerantz, of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, suggested: "Every medical centre in a major metropolitan area will have cases like this. You've got to really prove something before you go on CNN and scream about a super-strain."

    In Britain, Barry Evans a consultant epidemiologist for the government's Health Protection Agency, said: "At the moment, it is only a single case. There is enormous variation in people's progress to Aids. We know of some people, only a small number of cases historically, who have progressed very quickly."

    I'm not so sure. the San Fran chronicle has just reported a potential NY-California connection based on California lab data.

    LOL Neither are we really, he's just got a ridiculous sense of humor. He likes to fuck with me. But that's ok, cuz he bought me a dvd-vcr for Valentine's Day. He can fuck with me all he wants cuz he treats me better than any man has. I feel like the luckiest girl right now. And can you believe we met online? Yahoo personals actually. Sorry, I'm going way off topic. Just wanted to let Madcap in on it. Btw, good to see you again!

    Well, I'm sorry but while reading that article I just couldn't help thinking: a single paragraph just should NOT include the words HIV/AIDS and at the same time mention a "Dr Ho". LOL

    Sorry, bad joke of the day
