Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / July 2007Another heterosexual HIV spreader
<http://www.thelocal.se/8009/20070726/>: ----- Begin quote ----- A 27-year-old man who had sex with several women without telling them he was HIV-positive was sentenced to seven years' jail in Sweden on Thursday. [...] The identity of the man, who is not Swedish, has not been revealed but according to Dagens Nyhetter newspaper he is from Zimbabwe. [...] A doctor found out in March that several HIV-infected women had had sex with the man, according to TT. An administrative court first sentenced the man to isolation earlier this year, where he was offered therapy sessions to make him understand the gravity of his acts. After the isolation he was arrested and detained until the trial started last week. "He does not have any excuses," judge Sven Martinger said. Other cases of men spreading AIDS have surfaced recently in Sweden and an inquiry has been launched about a 32-year-old HIV-positive man who could have had intercourse with hundreds of women. ----- End quote -----  Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> Moible: +447939991519 "Martin" <martin@hiv-poz.co.uk> wrote in message > Other cases of men spreading AIDS have surfaced recently in Sweden and > an inquiry has been launched about a 32-year-old HIV-positive man who > could have had intercourse with hundreds of women. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/aids/ >"Martin" <martin@hiv-poz.co.uk> wrote in message >> Other cases of men spreading AIDS have surfaced recently in Sweden and >> an inquiry has been launched about a 32-year-old HIV-positive man who >> could have had intercourse with hundreds of women. > >http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/aids/ ----- Begin quote ----- "Quite unexpectedly, our results show that interrupting therapy increases the risk of serious non-AIDS-related events," Dr. Wafaa El-Sadr, one of the trial's co-chairs, said in a statement.

The article in part: But a November 2006 study in the New England Journal of Medicine provides more evidence that life-long antiretroviral therapy has turned HIV/AIDS into a chronic disease rather than a countdown to death. The study showed that people who take a break from HIV therapy to reduce the side-effects are more than twice as likely to die than those who take a steady course of the drugs. "Quite unexpectedly, our results show that interrupting therapy increases the risk of serious non-AIDS-related events," Dr. Wafaa El-Sadr, one of the trial's co-chairs, said in a statement. She is a researcher at the Harlem Hospital Center in New York City. The trial on nearly 5,500 people infected with HIV in 33 countries was stopped early when the advantages of continuing therapy were clear from the preliminary data.
