The Eternal Question

[Spinaroonie]

This is one of those things that I wonder about..

I know that there's several threads that suggest that AIDS may not be an STD, etc.

But.. I just wonder

Do AIDS patients sometimes find other AIDS patients and decide "Hey, we can't get any more infected with AIDS, let's fuck!".

I guess they could get like.. a flu from the sex or something. I don't know.

Course, If I knew.. I wouldn't ask.

My goodness, this is a wierd question.

Have you ever known someone with AIDS? This is such a personal question, I doubt you have.

I watched a friend die of AIDS. He certainly wasn't thinking of sex. He was too busy trying to live between all of his sickness.

If you are seriously asking the question....


Yes, some people who are HIV positive will chose to date others who are HIV positive.

Fucking?

I suppose they do what the rest of us do or should do. Get to know one another a bit etc.


No potentially fatal disease is reason for puns or sarcasm. Not HIV , not Cancer, not any of it.

So, I hope that you aren't being so callous as to poke fun in that direction and are actually curious.

I assume so. That's one of the most basic reasons the disease sucks, it limits your dating pool.

Every 'thing' has a potential for humor. Some of it is just in bad taste to some people. The ability to laugh at everything is what makes it fun to be human.

Yeah, I got a big laugh out of the biopsy they did on a mole on my back. I was laughing for hours. I did joke around with my wife about it. I mean come on, enough is enough already! Give me a freaking break!

it is an interesting question

The virus adapts rapidly. If you have one strain and then get another, different strain, will they co-exist making life even worse for you or will they blend?

In other words, can you get AIDS twice and thus decrease your quality and duration of life that way?

I suspect so, but don't know and haven't looked it up -- I suppose the answer is on the net somewhere.

Quack,

And of course looking it up only took one second. "AIDS" and "twice" on google gives this here article as the first link. The term is "superinfection" and the answer to sd412 is "If they do, they risk getting even sicker."

Interesting. I assumed this was a serious question, just one I'd never thought of myself.

I'd never heard about "superinfection" before. I guess it makes sense. I hope the people who would be affected by it have heard of it!

God, that sucks! I was thinking that while an STD it still doesn't eliminate your natural desires, and being one of the four essential things hardwired into your brain, you're still going to want it. But... You gotta curtail, I guess.
