Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / March 2007Hey, everyone
Hey, where has everyone gone? I'm getting a bit lonely here. :(  Signaturehttp://hiv.positive.googlepages.com/ HIV Positive wrote... > Hey, where has everyone gone? > > I'm getting a bit lonely here. :( I can't imagine how you'd be lonely with all the goddamn AIDS patients in the world. But for some reason I've noticed that people with HIV are only attracted to those without it. There are no singles clubs for the HIV-positive, they feel compelled to mingle with the general population and have the attitude that their filthy disease isn't really that contagious and not that serious so it is no big deal if they accidentally infect their healthy partner, and besides, they are such a great catch that anyone should be willing to assume the risk of AIDS just for the privilege of having sex with them. >HIV Positive wrote... >> Hey, where has everyone gone? >> >> I'm getting a bit lonely here. :( >I can't imagine how you'd be lonely with all the goddamn AIDS patients >in the world. Having something in common with a large number of other people doesn't stop someone feeling lonely. Approximately half the men on this planet are male, like me. That doesn't mean that I automatically feel a natural bond with them all, or prevent me from feeling lonely. Anyway, as I've mentioned before, it's debatable whether or not I have AIDS. >But for some reason I've noticed that people with HIV >are only attracted to those without it.

I don't have enough information or personal knowledge to properly respond to your comment about people who have been diagnosed HIV+ being attracted to those who haven't. If it is true, it may be because the number of people diagnosed HIV+ is quite small compared to those without such a diagnosis. And, of course, some people are attracted to the opposite of themself, while others are attracted to those similar to themself. Your comment about there being no singles clubs for HIV+ people isn't totally correct. There are some meeting places, well certainly here in the UK. And there's even a website specifically for people who have a sexually transmitted disease or have been diagnosed HIV+. It's at http://www.datepositive.net/. Presumably your attitude is linked to your feelings about your brother you've previously expressed here. I suggest you look carefully at that relationship: I suspect you will hate him while he's alive and then hate yourself for hating him when he's dead. Life is short; death lasts forever.

I have to tie my own until one of those 2.5 billion (or so) males offers to do it for me and my "filthy disease." :) CVs and a list of references by email, please. Form an orderly queue against the wall...

The medicines, Tenofovir (Viread) and Emtricitabine (Emtriva), will be subsidised from April 1. Pharmac medical director Peter Moodie said the investment would cost about $1.5 million over five years and up to 159 HIV patients would be eligible for treatment within three years. Tenofovir and Emtricitabine were similar to other subsidised drugs but funding them was important because HIV could become resistant to existing treatments. Tenofovir also had fewer side-effects for some patients. Foundation positive health manager Eamonn Smythe said the drugs had been available in Australia for some time but delays involving funding here - specifically for Tenofovir - had meant patients had been unable to access them. HIV was a complex virus that changed rapidly and new medications, once tested and approved, needed to be made available to sufferers quickly. "Delays of this kind can affect the quality of life, and even life expectancy, of HIV-positive patients," he said. The foundation estimates just over 2000 people here have HIV and the pool is increasing, especially among gay and bisexual men. "Some 177 new diagnoses were recorded in 2006, the second-highest number for a single year." - NZPA
