You know--you're right. I thought you were wrong, and I looked it up. The last time I paid much attention to AIDS transmission information was in the 80s when I was 20 something, and at that time it wasn't clear, and they assumed all body fluids were an issue. Thanks for correcting me.

I want to see this man's birth certificate. He clearly knows too much about Africa, so he must secretly have been born there.

How do you know she is a witch?

She looks like one.

Right! Yeah! Yeah!

You all are guilty of the same close-minded dismissiveness as the senator.


Oh good lord. I'd link some epidemiological studies on the origins of HIV but somehow I think it would be wasted on you.

For the record, there are 4 bodily fluids that can readily transmit HIV....

* blood
* semen
* vaginal fluid
* breast milk

Experts say that it would take one or more gallons of saliva consumed in one sitting to produce enough of the virus for infection.

Back on topic... Tennessee Senator Stacey Campfield is clearly an idiot.

Which, as I posted , would make him a perfect Republican candidate....well, maybe he's not as goofy or stupid as Rick or Newt but they're both pretty much out of the picture so the Repugs have an opening...

So let me get this right. Since Stacey knows about gays now, he is now converted to gay? The gene pool and hetero women are breathing a sigh of relief he's changed sides. Good luck to you AUM. Y'all are gonna need it.

It's a cultural thing, irish. Most city dwellers are naive. They don't grasp that a wife could be socially compelled to have sex with a kennel of dogs like in arkansas. Although I do wonder about those blue laws in vermont prohibiting mules in bathtubs. Sounds fishy.

So what exactly are those lonely bachelor farmers in montana doing with those sheep?

"My understanding is that it is virtually -- not completely, but virtually -- impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex...very rarely [transmitted]."

Heterosexual AIDS(BP-411E)

The World Health Organization estimates that heterosexual transmission has accounted for 75% of the HIV infections in adults world-wide.


Some humans are just too stupid for words.
