From what i've read is higher in MtM sex, and varies from 1 out of 10 and 1 out of 1000.... its still scary to know that you flirt with those possibilities.
That's a nice dogmatic statement (look it up because I'm not sure they taught that one in the 3rd grade).Quote:

So, what "facts" are you "dealing" with? Your comments seem like the 12 year old which you probably are, devoid of any real facts and when proven wrong, making statements like "I dont have to prove nothing to close minded robots who accept everything they told". Well, what would you call a person who took what you had to say without anything to back it up with? I've got the CDC in my corner. Who's in yours?
Yes because a fist fight is what is needed in this situation. You shouldn't make such ridiculous statements if you don't want anyone to call you out based on what you have written. Calling AIDS a lifestyle disease and implying that it's deserved based on te lifestyle someone leads is in fact idiotic.Quote:

GS, see when you're quoting folks, try not to mess up the quote attributes so it suggests the ignorant, prejudiced BS uttered by nitwits like worthy2 was actually spoken by me, please.Quote:

Oh God! That's a lot of wrong information about HIV tests in this topic.
I'll try to help a little:
The tests that search for the presence of antibodies (ELISA and Western Blot) are older than the PCR based techniques, but are still the most used to confirm or rule out the presence of an infection. The Viral Load test is RT-PCR procedure, in which you have a Reverse Transcription of the HIV RNA followed by a PCR amplification of the cDNA. It is not used to confirm or rule out an infection, since it has a detection threshold of a few thousand viral copies (it is a semi-quantitative method). The gold standard for HIV detection is what can be called a qualitative PCR. In this method the DNA of lymphocytes is extracted and tested for the presence of the integrated HIV provirus (the provirus of a retrovirus virus is its "DNA form", after the reverse transcription and integration steps). This test is used only in cases where both ELISA and Western Blot tests are repeatedly negative but the patient has nonetheless convincing clinical signs of AIDS.
And by the way, when one gets a positive HIV result, it is a composite of at least two tests (usually an ELISA and a Western Blot. The former is very sensitive and the latter has a high specificity).
Thank you, bh_boyy2. Anything that can be done to prevent gullible people falling under the sway of the kind of ridiculous denial of well-stated and repeatedly proven truth that worth2 has been pandering, is very welcome.Quote:
