Wow, I really hope you are joking OP. You cannot get aids or pregnant from doing your laundry period.

This could totally happen if you're a hot babe and go to the laundry mat dressed to kill and get raped by someone with aids or are some guy and hook up with a real looker that had aids.

are you stupid?

the only way you get aids or pregnant from doing laundry in laundromats is if you got bent over and had unprotected sex or if someone with aids transfered his blood onto your cut or you shared a needle or something...

what a dumb question...

why take the risk?

i would! in a heartbeat. do you know why? because it's dumb to think that you could get aids by sharing a washer.

i'd be $100,000 richer... easy money. basically, i would have gotten $100,000 for doing my laundry and wearing my clean cloths.

hell, it doesn't even have to be $100,000... i'd settle for the guy paying for my laundry.

Yep! I would love that money right now, it would get me a good car and a cheap house (some parts of the usa houses go for $6k in good condition, no joke, check rural kansas not that I would ever move there again) and would start a small hosting business as well.
All for washing my clothes.

Can you get AIDS or PREGNANT from doing laundry in public laundry mats?

OF COURSE, which is why you should buy yourself a private laundry mat.

Using someone else's laundry mat is akin to repeatedly french kissing the welcome mat at a inner city Church's Fried Chicken emporium, or sticking a used place mat from a Chuck E Cheese up your rectum without having it first blessed by the Pope.

In times of possible Democratic electoral success like these you simply can't be too careful. The pregnancy virus is everywhere, affecting men and women alike. And for most men, anal pregnancy is awkward, embarassing and painful!

So, your best bet is to swiftly purchase your own private laundry mat, immediately take it home, place both of your feet within it's safe confines, and never move again.

You sound like a limp-wristed fairy when you cry "intolerance". In fact I can picture you saying it with a lisp. "intoleranth for the loth"

And I think you're pregnant with aids, 91TTZ. How else to explain your confusing "ignorance" and "intolerance", even to the point of posting a rant about it.

Well of course...are you telling me that unprotected sex isn't part of your standard laundromat routine? What kind of lame laundromats do you go to?

Haha! That, my good sir, is pure gold. :laugh:

And darn those careless individuals for leaving their small bottles of AIDs just lying around.

This thread totally delivers!

You obviously never saw a hot chick doing her laundry then. Of course they can't prove anything.

This post is full of win. Reading it gave me AIDS.

Lets say a guy that has aids and somehow got his blood stain on his cloths, and you happen to be the next up after him. You happen to have a cut on your body, Is it possible to get aids from him from wearing the cloths you've washed in public from a previous washer load?


and as for the ladies can they get pregnant from wearing their underpants from washing their cloths from a previous load from a guy that had semen in his cloths?

If it was that easy to get HIV/AIDS, then everyone would have it. You might want to avoid eating out at restaurants since us HIV infected people use the exact same plates and utensils as everyone else. We are plotting on infecting the entire world by eating out and using laundry mats.

In other words, you're an idiot for even asking such a dumb assed question.

I'd guess that the washing cycle would be enough to kill any viruses. Too hot, and too many chemicals - that, plus an insufficient virus concentration to be dangerous.

too hot? you probably need boiling water inorder to kill it off, and no one washes their cloths in boiling waters.

but you make some good points.

for $100, would you wash your load after a guy if you knew he had aids?

No it doesn't take boiling water to kill the HIV virus. But I would expect no less ignorance from you considering your original post. HIV can not live long outside of the human body because it is a parasite and depends on cells from the body to live. It also does not do well with temperatures both much higher and lower than body temp.

Ask my brother and his son if they would wash their laundry after me? Both have been doing it for years and neither one of them are HIV infected. You sir are proof the Government needs to turn off breeding in all humans until they can pass a idiot test.
