Gad, if AIDS was cured can you imagine what would happen? There would probably be a new sexual revolution along with a new baby boom. Last thing the world needs is a jump in the population.

I disagree. Aids/Hiv is only 1 of MANY non-cureable stds out there.

The CDC and a lot of other health groups have a hard time getting that message across that there is more then JUST Hiv/Aids. Having a high number of partners, not using condoms, etc... will juts increase your chance of catching more then 1 Stds.

I didn't say that it would be safe to have another sexual revolution I am just saying it would happen. People are stupid all they need is an excuse.

That's pretty cold.

I predict that, due to the laws of karma, you will be diagnosed with cancer and AIDS sometime in the future.

 

[azazyel]

they won't find a cure for AIDS no matter what. They will most likely get a vaccine if anything.

With a vaccine, it would be possible to virtually wipe it off entire continents.

Not really, look at small pox and other things we said are 100% cured.

Also, remember with small poxs you still have a chance of getting it from the vaccine.

It is not cold. The idea of getting rid of all diseases is counterproductive. They are here for a reason.

Hence the virtually part. I was primarily speaking of Western World countries.....

I voted for the third option on accident. My real vote would go towards cancer as my grandfather just passed away in part to cancer. My other only living grandparent is going through chemo for her cancer which has spread.

what he said.

 

[Ranger X]

Of course cancer. Cancer is something that can't always be prevented, whereas, AIDS can be prevented. A cure for cancer would be much more valuable than a cure for AIDS.

If we all live long enough it is inevitable that we would all get cancer. Most Likely I won't be getting AIDS as I am practically married to my HS sweet heart.

 

[Wheatmaster]

the probably with curing cancer is that there will be a new disease that will over take it.

Very well put.

I concur.

Nebor sorry bud this is a bad quote

You don't know what you're talking about. The numbers are going up amongst straight people, and african americans. Find me a gay man in this day and age that has sex without a condom. They have the big bowls in the bars, and people handing them out in the clubs.

My info is from the CDC. Gay men are no longer afraid of AIDS as they saee HIV positive people live for years and wear it as a badge of honor. Pretty F-up but That was on a liberal news show I saw that on...

AIDS is going down in every group and has throughout the 90's but in the past couple years the gay men are the only ones whos had gone up.

 

[sillymofo]

I think they have the cure for these disease right now, but treatment centers are making soooo much money. And when they "finally" got a hand on one disease, another "mysterious" deadly disease just seem to pop out of nowhere.

Fine, be right.... I guess I just assumed most gay men were smarter than that. I guess I should have learned something by how many drive Miatas.

And Skoorb, my lifestyle justifies the risk to me. I'm the selfish hedonist type.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Cancer, as AIDS is much more preventable.

Also, a LOT more people die of cancer than AIDS. So it would be better hor mankind.

 

[0roo0roo]

selfish answer = aids, free love again!
rational answer = cancer, since in most cases its not easily preventable unlike aids

 

[MAME]

cancer, aids should never be cured and all the ignorant and foolsih can die off

 

[Triumph]

Well lets see who in my family has died of cancer:

Mom
Mom's brother
Mom's sister

Yeah, I think the choice is pretty clear. AIDS is a f&cking joke, and anyone in 1st world country who contracts it, deserves it.

 

[moshquerade]

cancer.
right now the "treatments" they have for it are pitiful. at least with AIDS the drug cocktails they give 'em can make most of those infected lead a pretty good life.
