Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / January 2008HIV prefers druggies, gays and blacks
<http://www.thelocal.se/9549/20080103/>: ----- Begin Quote ----- A record number of Swedes were infected with HIV in 2007. Stockholms intravenous drug users suffered a major outbreak which added to the high infection statistics. The virus strain is new and appears to have come from Finland. Through the middle of November 2007, forty-five new cases of HIV infections were discovered among drug addicts in Stockholm county. The figure is more than double the twenty-two cases confirmed in 2006 and significantly higher than the twenty-six cases recorded in 2005. This is amounts to a real emergency, said Åke Örtqvist, a doctor of infectious diseases in Stockholm. ----- End Quote ----- And <http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/92926.php>: ----- Begin Quote ----- The number of new HIV cases among men younger than age 30 who have sex with men in New York City has increased since 2003 despite a decrease in the number of overall new cases and AIDS-related deaths, the New York Times reports. According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the number of annual new HIV diagnoses increased by 34% among black and Hispanic MSM between 2001 and 2006 and increased by 32% among all MSM younger than age 30. There were 100 new HIV cases among young white MSM in New York City in 2006, compared with 228 new cases among young black MSM and 165 cases among young Hispanic MSM. New HIV diagnoses among MSM older than age 30 have decreased by 22% during the same time period, according to the Times. ----- End Quote -----  Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> Moible: +447939991519 4739 days and counting...

Those lucky people who live in Sweden have quite a lot of choice when choosing which version of killer HIV to have.

He told QX that he was revealing his status now because 'I feel I am at the right stage in my life.' Lundstedt is the first Swedish entertainment star since the eighties to admit publicly to being HIV positive. He said the strain of the virus with which he was infected is not as aggressive as some other strains. ----- End Quote ----- Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> Moible: +447939991519 4739 days and counting... Before there is "disease," there is aberrant biochemistry. The likely reason for the "AIDS epidemic" circa 1980 is that is when most of the "at risk" groups had arachidonic acid in their cells, unlike previous generations (who had Mead acid in their cells). The difference in dangerous biochemistry once extreme stressors occur is huge. There were several good studies on this in the 1980s, for example, on the AA metabolite, PGE2, in semen (in large amounts), but because the "germ theory" crowd prevailed, there was little in the way of "follow up." |
