What "industry" would that be?

It's been well known now for decades that HIV is not transmitted through saliva and therefore NOT through kissing?

New to the concept of how HIV is transmitted are you?

People would still have sex. Syphilis caused very painful deaths for tons of people back in the day, and it didn't stop anyone. HPV and herpes can both bypass condoms, and that doesn't stop people from having sex now.

And HIV is no longer the death sentence it once was.

I’m 100% sure they would still have sex. Most people think it won’t happen to me, and many don’t see it as a death sentence anymore. With medication it can be managed.

Some would, but the great majority of people wouldn't. Hell, the reality of HIV even doesn't stop people from engaging in unprotected sex today.

Good question. The highly trained medical researcher "industry"?

Many different, unaffliiated physcians and other researchers across the world have been studying the disease for close to 40 years. Contact with saliva alone has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV.

The urge to merge is a natural human emotion. I doubt anything short of a physical issue would negate that.

I am saving myself for my wedding night partly due to STDs but other reasons.However there will always be fornication and sexual sin.Jehovah and Christ and the Holy Ghost created us to be sexual creatures but sadly the majority of people are unchaste.The Bible doesnt scare most people from sleeping around so no disease could stamp out sexual depravity.

You have heard correctly. I don’t know if you are a woman or a man but ... if you are a man you might have an idea of how many of your peers are not just willing to but would prefer to; forgo the condom. With a hooker.

If you are a woman; you don’t even want to know.

I assumed he meant “bisexual sex”. And he’s actually right. You become an “equal opportunity” mode of transmission.

Bi sexual people, on the other hand; will be as individual as anybody else. And you can have bisexual sex without being bisexual.

It's possible the poster meant that, but as is the post reads highly incorrect and unfair to people who are bisexual. The assumption that bisexual=promiscuous is very common but untrue. It's important to be very clear when one is talking about people's sexual orientation vs specific sexual activities. It is certainly not true that bisexual people are the most "dangerous." Anyone, male or female who engages in anal sex outside of a completly monogamous, HIV tested relationship would be at highest risk for HIV.

Quote:
This is why bi-sexual people are the most dangerous, regarding venereally-spread diseases. If you discover that your partner is bi-sexual, you are at much greater risk of catching something. Obviously, a bi-sexual person would have at least two sexual partners. And if someone cheats on their partner with one other person, they are more likely to do it with more of them. And most viruses can penetrate the mucus membranes, such as the genitals, anus, mouth and eyes. Some lab workers have contracted HIV, by getting a splatter of infected blood in an eye.

Yes, it would reduce it to a degree. But it would also inspire people to learn more about the facts. This is a blood disease hence it always coming from anal intercourse or needles. Hiv dies during oral sex and male female vaginal intercourse. Making people understand this is very difficult. The Center of disease control makes these facts a little vague to make you fear even herto vag intercourse. Their minds they are doing it to protect you. It is like when your trainer says no food past 6 pm but you they know you will eat up to 7 or 8pm. If they told you 8Pm (which may be ok for your body) you may eat at 10pm. They are being really strict b/c they know you are going to cheat.
