Back to the ole, everyone is at risk. That is bullshit.
Female to male transmission is not in the same league as MSM.

I didn't say it was in the statement you quote above.

But clearly you understand that female-to-male transmission DOES
happen. And certain risk factors may increase the likelihood,
including sores on the penis, a foreskin apparently, etc.

It doesn't matter to HIV.

Male-to-female transmission happens more readily.

Unprotected vaginal sex and anal sex and sharing syringes are all high
risk activities between serodiscordant couples.

It is not, as you assert, just about anal sex.

Anal sex is fun! Perhaps for a victorian queen like you, it is not.
That's fine! But darling, really, you are far more of a twisted
perverted mess when you say you JW Gacy is your hero.

Perhaps this little explanation will help you understand through the
thick mists of your hate and bigotry. But I rather doubt it.

Perhaps one day you will find you can jettison all that emotional
baggage and live free of it? Wouldn't that be kind of cool?

Your statement, further, is vague. Female-to-male transmission, one
might say, is not in the same league as male-to-female transmission.

You try to make a point you cannot make because you know it is a lie.

>You lie for no reason other than, habit.

Not in the slightest.  You're the one lying about anal sex.

Anal sex is fun! It is not AIDS.

HIV transmission via unprotected anal sex can cause AIDS. Absolutely.

HIV causes AIDS. Not anal sex.

Now, dearest, please do find a psychotherapist to treat your
sociopathic hatred of gay people and get in touch with your inner
queer. It's a much nicer way to live free than to live with all that
bottled up hate that is destroying your fragile small mind.

"Faggot sex." That's exactly the kind of conflicted hatred that causes
gay bashing and killing. Not to mention your continued agony of your
sad, twisted little mind, churning out more hate, anger and garbage.

Sex doesn't cause AIDS. HIV does.

That's the lie you wrap yourself in to justify your bigotry, like some
fundamentalist religious nut job trying to justify killing his

Ah, Mr. Carter, there is evidence in the scientific literature that
unprotected sex is no more risky than protected sex-

?The constant per-contact infectivity for male-to-female transmission
was estimated to be 0.0009 (95% CI 0.0005-0.001)...We observed no
seroconversions after entry into the study...No transmission occurred
among the 25% of couples who did not use their condoms consistently, nor
among the 47 couples who intermittently practiced unsafe sex during the
entire duration of follow-up. This evidence argues for low infectivity
in the absence of either needle sharing and/or other cofactors ?

Padian NS et al. Heterosexual Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV) in Northern California: Results from a Ten-Year Study. Am J
Epidemiol. 1997 Aug;146(4):350-7.

From the January 17, 2002 Journal of Infectious Disease: ?The study?of
17 women who remained uninfected, despite a history of heavy exposure to
HIV through repeated, unprotected sexual contact with an infected
partner, and 12 of their regular, male HIV-positive partners.?

Well, what about male to male?

An April 1996 study in Nature Medicine focused on 24 hetero- and
homosexual men who?ve remained HIV negative despite ?histories of
multiple high-risk sexual exposures to HIV-1,? including ?sex with
multiple HIV-1-infected partners,? or ?long-term relationships involving
unprotected sexual intercourse over many years [with] predominantly a
single HIV-infected partner.? ?All subjects were HIV-1 negative,? even
though ?several [of their] partners succumbed to AIDS.? (Nature
Medicine. 1996 2(4))

What about longer studies?

?At Kenyatta National Hospital [Kenya] ?out of 31 couples tested, 23
were discordant [one positive, one negative]. Some of them have stayed
in a sexual relationship with the infected partner for more than six
years without the infected one passing the virus to the other. And when
these discordant couples brought their children for testing, all of them
were free of the virus?? (Horizon Magazine, December 18, 2003)

What about larger studies?

?[W]e studied 50 sexually active couples with discordant antibody
results [one positive, one negative]...seronegative partners continued
to have negative results in all tests for a mean follow-up period of 17
months despite ongoing sexual relations with their seropositive
partners?.approximately one-half of each group reported some instances
of unprotected intercourse?intercourse with outside partners was
uncommon in both groups, as was current illicit drug use. (Clin
Infectious Disease. July, 1995;211)

Ah, George, you might want to rethink that -sharing-needles-thing too.

What are we to think when there are studies like this in the medical
literature?

High rates of HIV infection among injection drug users participating in
needle exchange programs in Montreal: results of a cohort study.

Bruneau J, Lamothe F, Franco E, Lachance N, Desy M, Soto J, Vincelette
J.

Department of Psychiatry, University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Needle exchange programs (NEPs) are designed to prevent human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission among injection drug users.
Although most studies report beneficial effects in terms of behavior
modification, a direct assessment of the effectiveness of NEPs in
preventing HIV infection has been lacking. A cohort study was conducted
to assess the association between risk behaviors and HIV seroprevalence
and seroincidence among injection drug users in Montreal, Canada. The
association between NEP use and HIV infection was examined in three risk
assessment scenarios using intensive covariate adjustment for empirical
confounders: a cross-sectional analysis of NEP use at entry as a
determinant of seroprevalence, a cohort analysis of NEP use at entry as
a predictor of subsequent seroconversion, and a nested case-control
analysis of NEP participation during follow-up as a predictor of
seroconversion. From September 1988 to January 1995, 1,599 subjects were
enrolled with a baseline seroprevalence of 10.7%. The mean follow-up
period was 21.7 months. The adjusted odds ratio for HIV seroprevalence
in injection drug users reporting recent NEP use was 2.2 (95% confidence
interval 1.5-3.2). In the cohort study, there were 89 incident cases of
HIV infection with a cumulative probability of HIV seroconversion of 33%
for NEP users and 13% for nonusers (p < 0.0001). In the nested
case-control study, consistent NEP use was associated with HIV
seroconversion during follow-up (odds ratio = 10.5, 95% confidence
interval 2.7-41.0). Risk elevations for HIV infection associated with
NEP attendance were substantial and consistent in all three risk
assessment scenarios in our cohort of injection drug users, despite
extensive adjustment for confounders. In summary, in Montreal, NEP users
appear to have higher seroconversion rates then NEP nonusers.

Have you read this article?

What are its conclusions?

Why does it talk about a highly selected cohort?

Were these cases normal or so uncommon that they warranted a specific
study?

One of your premises is false.

HIV is not a highly contagious virus. The only time you hear that it is
in a strawman argument from dissidents.

The medical literature that you refere to and have not you yourself
read suggests that there are some individuals that are resistant to HIV
infection. They found some of these individuals and looked at the
ability of HIV to infect their CD4 cells in vitro.

Once again you insist that HIV is highly contagious. It is not. This
does not mean that it is not sexually transmitted.

There are many studies in the literature that provide evidence that HIV
is sexually transmitted.

Try reading this one.

Note the dependence of transmission risk upon infection stage. The risk
of transmitting HIV to a second person else is much higher in the
period immediately after you yourself are infected.

Note that genetic sequencing was done to confirm the transmission
pathway.

So they sequenced some genetic material or other.  What the hell did they
compare it with?  Some piece of RNA or DNA they declared: "This be from
HIV"?
It couldn't be the real thing, because nobody really has anything that can
be proven to be HIV.
Earlier in the abstract there is a sentence with the  key word
"retrospectively".  That smacks again of "reverse statistics" (Look at the

You could find out by reading the paper. What a novel idea.

"At the time of the retrospective analysis reported here, archival
serum samples were available from both partners in 46 (64%) of 72
couples with seroconversion, which permitted the assessment of
molecular linkage between the index partner's and the seroconverting
partner's HIV-1 strains. Viral sequence data from the gag and gp41
regions [14] were compared in both partners on the basis of sequence
distance and phylogenetic inferences, by use of bootstrap methods [8,
1416]."

Brilliant. You don't even have to read the abstract. You can just
dismiss a paper based on the number of authors.

My only question is whether that applies to dissident papers too.

All of your ad hoc excuses for ignoring evidence that conflicts with
your views can be applied to dissident papers aswell.

Chris Noble
Iconoclaster - 08 Nov 2005 00:39 GMT
>"You could find out by reading the paper. What a novel idea."

I do read papers, even if they've been written by 13 authors.  But I read
them critically, which you don't seem to be able to.

>"Viral sequence data from the gag and gp41 regions [14] were compared in
both partners... yadda yadda yadda..."

How the hell do they know these sequences are viral?  Right, because they
have sequences where they have declared from the pulpit: "These be from
HIV"  And I should believe that? <groann!>
Even worse: You have the nerve to ask ME for evidence?  How about some
excuse why you think these sequences are viral?

And about the "reverse statistics":  I *know* they had all these data
lying around.  Clinical departments have hundreds of years of data on
their shelves, ready to be picked up and fitted with a explanation by
anyone with an agenda.
Let me explain the scientific method once more to you:
When you have a theory, you can use it to make predictions. THEN you do
the necessary experiments, to see if the predictions come true.  And you
use statistical methods to test the significance of the outcome.

In HIV-land they do the opposite:  They gather some old data, find a way
how to explain them with the theory they wanted to prove in the first
place, and add some extra quirks to the theory if the original version of
the theory doesn't fit the data.  Finally, they use statistical methods to
get probabilities and CI's for numbers that were already known with
certainty before they started.
THIS SUCKS.  But then, most clinicians make lousy researchers anyway.  So
they hide in the masses (13 authors or so), to protect their reputation if
their paper turns out to be a dud.

>"Brilliant. You don't even have to read the abstract. You can just
dismiss a paper based on the number of authors."
>"My only question is whether that applies to dissident papers too."

Not a bad idea.  I think I'll make that a guideline.  That will save me a
lot of time (and aggravation).
But yes, it also applies to dissident papers.  So pay extra attention when
there is a single author (such as Peter Duesberg), or two (Brian Ellison
and Peter Duesberg).

Duesberg does no experimental work to support his views on HIV/AIDS.
His opinions have all the experimental validity of his armchair. Of
course he can write single author papers. I doubt he could find many
other people that would be willing to put their names on one of his
papers.

Natch, his funding has been cut off years ago, because the orthodoxy is

My opinion is that none of Duesberg's proposals were of merit and did
not deserve funding

Can you produce any of Duesberg's research proposals that would
distinguish between your wild fantasies and my not-so-wild guesses.

Duesberg gets funding from private donors such as Robert Leppo.  Leppo
can fund the production of propaganda films and the purchase of medical
marijuana dispensaries. Why can't some of his money be used to test
Duesberg's ideas?

No, but then I haven't seen Duesberg's research proposals.  But I wonder
what my "wild fantasies" could possibly be.  I'm the one with both feet on
the ground, and I don't believe in any of the wild fantasies the HIV
jockeys have come up with.  I have not presented any theories; I only keep
pointing out that all the observations can be explained much better by
rejecting the idea that there is a virus involved.

That's just the point.  Private donors have their own agenda.  They only
fund what they believe in.
The government should be different, because it's the government of all the
American people.  They should not have an agenda when it comes to spending
on science.  They spend hundreds of billions on HIV research.  Why not
spend $50,000 on one of Duesberg's alternate ideas?

No. You keep on asserting that all the observations can be explained
better with a non-virus model.
You have neither provided a coherent model nor shown how it better
explains all the observations.

Leppo is a HIV-rethinker/denialist. Why doesn't he fund Duesberg to do
experimental research on HIV or recreational drugs? Duesberg's armchair
has cost Leppo thousands of dollars.

There are many alternate ideas. Should they all be funded? What about
phlogiston science should that be funded too? Is there an
anti-phlogiston political  agenda? Without seeing Duesberg's research
proposals that he allegedly submitted it is impossible to say whether
they should or should not have been funded.

What?  Do I have to come up with a coherent model explaining why people
get sick and die?  Nobody has been able to do that for millennia.  Why
should I succeed?
What I can do, and have done for many years, is to point out the flaws in
the virus model.  It just doesn't fit the observations.  A depressed level
of lymphocytes is just not an infectious syndrome,   and certainly not a
sexually transmittable one.  So, after 20 years of searching in vain,
abandoning the virus model is long overdue.  We should look in other
directions.  The virologists had their chance and failed.  Now give the
job to others: immunologists, toxicologists, pharmacologists, for
example.

>"Leppo is a HIV-rethinker/denialist. Why doesn't he fund Duesberg to do

There's a simple answer for that: Duesberg's expertise lies in virology.
And that's exactly the field where we should NOT look for answers, after
20 years of failure.  Duesberg actually disqualified himself.  The job
(and the funding) should be given to someone like Tim Hand, who is a
pharmacologist.

There are more than 2.5 million cases of HPV among faggots annually in the US.

The a.shole infection rate in faggots are the highest. Infection occurs through skin-to-skin
contact ( sex ) including areas not covered by con-dumbs and warts need not be present for

Most infections are transient and are cleared by the immune system. Of the 40 or so types of
HPV that infect the a.shole, those that cause genital warts are deemed "low-risk" whereas those
linked to cancer of the a.shole are termed "high risk"

LOL. That wasn't the question and you either know it wasn't amd are
bluffing or you're even more of an idiot than you have thus far shown
yourself to be.

Nobody is asking you to do that. I am asking for an explanation for the
progressive loss of CD4 cells and subsequent opportunistic infections
that occurs in patients with the presence of particular antibodies,
antigens, RNA and DNA sequences. Please present a coherent and
axplanatory hypothesis that better explains all the observations.

There are physics kooks that say the same thing about relativity. There
are religious fundamentalists that say the same thing about evolution.
They are very proficient at finding "paradoxes". What they cannot do is
provide a coherent hypothesis of their own to explain thel
observations. It is one of the hallmarks of pseudoscience.

Circa 2002 and 2003 the CDC published datas that told of about 18,000
deaths from AIDS in a pool of about 1.1 million people that were deemed
HIV positive.

Why is it that these people are experiencing a much lower death rate in
2002-3 than those of the 1980's who also exhibited the very same
progressive loss of CD-4's, the same particular antibodies, antigens,
RNA and DNA sequences?

Nothing you wrote addresses my request. I take it that you cannot
present a coherent and
explanatory hypothesis that better explains all the observations.

You have provided absolutely zero contribution of any value so far.
You have produced no evidence and have made no positive statements.

Why are you suddenly so concerned about the realities
and impact of AIDS?

I thought you HATED homosexuals and were repulsed
by anything having to do with AIDS.

But now, you are seemingly interested in something you
have pretended to loathe so.

How revealing!

Here's a related question.  Why is it that about 50,000 Americans
with AIDS died in 1995 and, a mere 2 years later, only about
20,000 died in 1997?

It has to do with the plunge in infections due to safe
sex approximately 12 years earlier - in 1983-84.

David-

I would bet that it is because AZT dosage/usage was decreased.

I would bet too that 3TC (an antioxidant), decreases the cellular
amount of AZT, and replenishes the glutathion amount

That too... of course, I was mererly answering CanziPants

Oh, I threw some punches all right.  Some were right on target.

But Mr. Stein, you didn't really think my goal was to convince you or any
of your co-perps, did you?
But there are also open-minded people reading this forum...
You guys are sitting ducks, you can't get out of the corner where the
blows are landing.  That's the position you maneuvered yourself into.
Sorry, but it's your life, and it was up to you to screw it up as you see
fit.

On the other hand, I'm free to get in and out of a discussion

But generally the on-target ones gave you the black eye...punching

If HIV had never been isolated Claster then the odds of as you claim "some
random piece of RNA or DNA" producing the same genetic sequence in two
different patients would be astronomically high. Yet that is what is found
in the real world how do you explain that simple fact?

You show your ignorance yet again Claster. Do you even know what a
retrospective study is? A retrospective study looks at the medical history
of patients over a period of years prior to the current date at the time the
study is initiated. Retrospective studies are by there nature very precise
and accurate in that they do not attempt to or need to forecast future
outcomes in that they know the medical history of the patient currently and
are looking at past medical records to see what lead up to that condition.

That is NOT what has been found.  The sequences found vary all over the
map.  That's why the "Viral Load" method, which is based on PCR, doesn't
give valid results.
And no, HIV has never been isolated.  If you can prove it has, here's your
chance!

>"You show your ignorance yet again Claster. Do you even know what a

Yes, I know.  I've given a long rant about it somewhere on this forum.
Clinicians produce lots of data.  That doesn't mean it's good scientific
practice to dig in these mountains of data to look for those that support
your pet theory.  I'm not going to repeat all that.

As Chris points out, this is the incompetent Liam Scheff's complete
misinterpretation of Padian's original data.

In short, it's a whopping lie. Liam Scheff is as incompetent, stupid
and useless as a journalist as Gina Kolata is.
