stronger strain of hiv detected.

I heard that tin foil hats can protect against this strain.....


Although I think that might be because tin foil hats actually protect against getting laid.
 
The new strain of the virus that causes AIDS, called A3/02, is a fusion of the two most common HIV strains in Guinea-Bissau. It has so far only been found in West Africa.

WTF do we have nukes for if not for this? I don't think anybody will miss West Africa.
 
They also recently discovered a new, stronger strain of botulinum toxin.

Officially the most lethal substance on earth.

Thats probably less of a global threat than normal AIDS.

AIDS is scary because it has a really big dormant period where you can go spreading it around without knowing you have it. This is just going to kill the host quicker.

Yeah I'm not saying that you want to encourage either of those diseases, but a high mortality rate with a high incubation time is scarier than one with a lower incubation time. (unless the incubation rate is longer than you'd normally live or something daft).

but aids is all around us. i am convinced that you can get aids from seemingly harmless things. you must always be vigilant and can never be too careful.

You do realize that HIV is not aids? And no, you cannot get HIV from harmless things.

You would think in this day and age, people would be better informed but its clear from this post that and those other links that not the case.

I am a scientist and I work with all sorts of STD positive patient serum. HIV, HepB, HepC, syphilis, herpes, along with TB.

Yes, I have to be careful in my line of work. Am I worried about catching anything?

No, not ever. I would be more wary of catching Hepatitis B than I would HIV. Although there is a vaccination for HepB.

"The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants," Palm said.

why nuke something, when we already have meds that work on it?

much ado about nothing.

when they announce a super strain resistant to all meds, then we can "panic"
