A statement from the trust said: "We regret this has been a distressing time for Mr Stimpson and are happy to discuss any aspect of his care with him.

While he should cooperate, I'm wondering exactly what's going on that would be distressing him. I would like to find out what he's been going through with the doctors and media that would put him off form cooperating.

Two Sunday newspapers report Scotsman Andrew Stimpson,

Ah, the healing power of sheep

I think I'll go with "false positive" on this one.

There are also a fair number of people that are immune to HIV/AIDS because of a subtle yet little known birth defect. Basically the virus can't hook in to the immune cells. The person will test positive for exposure to HIV but has no infection.

they should inject him with the virus again to make sure

"When we became aware of Mr Stimpson's HIV negative test results we offered him further tests to help us investigate and find an explanation for the different results.

So far Mr Stimpson has declined this offer."

"Some 14 months later he was offered another test by doctors, which came back negative.

He sought compensation but has apparently been told there is no case to answer because there was no fault with the testing procedure. "

he sounds like a douche bag.

If he doesn't cooperate, could someone kill him and then use his body to figure out what was special about his immune system? Or does he need to be alive?

Sadly, I'm not kidding! What a pity if this prick decides not to help out others dying from the disease.

I'm sorry, but you're the prick.

Do you realize exactly how much danger he is in? There is millions of dollars of money on the line. Pharmaceutical companies rely on 'treatments' to generate constant revenue, not 'cures'

He's going to be assassinated or come up missing. At least, that's my guess.

 

[dug777]

hell, i'd beat him to death with a 15 inch black rubber cock if i thought it would help

I remember studying this back in college. There are a certain percentage of people (mostly caucasian) who have mutant CD4 receptors ( I think, it was about 8 years ago) that the HIV virus cant latch on to and thus the person cant beinfected.

If the person doesn't willfully want to help, then yes, I do think he should be murdered. He knows better than anyone how devastating that disease is, and any reasonable person would not then turn around and be unwilling to help others who suffer from the same ailment.

Oh, also, it's not millions of dollars, it's billions.

That's true, there was article ~1997 that talked about it. Apparently if both parents had the mutated gene then the child would carry it too. The mutation occured because they survived the black plague I think. It was an interesting article http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_plague/

Have a read.

If you got told you had AIDS/HIV, what would your reaction be?
I think you'd have some severe mental issues if you got told you had a terminal incurable illness that was only going to get worse over time.
That he survived/is cured is good, but I hardly see how he's a douche for wanting compensation for his trauma, if he had been mis-diagnosed.

fair go, but ****** him if he doesn't want to help the millions of people who have AIDs worldwide

First off, I don't think the guy is obligated to do anything nor help anyone. You may not look upon it as right, but it's his life, his choice. To say he should die because he has refused is absurd. If he wants to, he should help. He should probably also get some compensation. They will be running countless tests on him, and there can be billions made, so he should get some as well.
