Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / September 2006CDC Recommends Routine, Voluntary HIV Screening in Health Care Settings
The recommendation are designed to increase early diagnosis of HIV infection as a pathway to improved treatment and prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5514a1.htm I wonder why they don't make the same recommendation for diabetes. Diabetes screening would benefit many times more people than HIV screening.

We drew a line with typhoid Mary. I have seen many quarantine signs and have been checked in school for several commonable diseases. No one has any form of right to pass a fatal disease to another person. I do know I would isolate myself if I was found with Aids Smoke screening of the Aids issue is not the way to go. Exposure is arbitary thing. Society choses to treat it. and help the afflicted. It is no right.

It's actually surprisingly hard to catch, the virus is very fragile, compared to, say, Hepatitis B In alt.support.diabetes on Fri, 29 Sep 2006 23:11:46 -0400 in Msg.# <asnrh2l6o1bpvk3sr5nj1h7si48sdqdrni@4ax.com>, Ma¢k <stopthespam@shootspammers.com> wrote: > [Default] On Fri, 29 Sep 2006 23:29:21 GMT, guys@consolidated.neet > (guy) Maniacally Screamed the following like a drunken > guys@consolidated.neet (guy) into the madness of usenet: > > >HIV is a dangerous disease that will finally kill. You're aware of the recent reports of people with HIV/AIDS who are now living long enough to die of what other people die of, right? You certainly seem like someone who keeps up, huh? Of course, the sad difference is that those are people in the US who can both afford & live with the side effects of the anti-viral cocktail drugs. In any part of the world where that's out of the question, yes, it is rather quickly fatal. > >Some forms of diabetes may be genetic. > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >and have been checked in school > >for several commonable diseases.

Let's isolate & quarantine the drug companies & researchers until they come up with a cure & a vaccine - not drugs that have to be bought every month forever!

I thought they were talking about HIV screening for all ages from teens to near-seniors, who turn up in various health-care places, which includes that middle-age dm-prone age group. bj |
