According to the radio, either wittingly or unwittingly.
A scary stat. Considering the big news/media push in the late 80's/early 90's and you don't really hear anything about it nowadays do you?
Is that Good Aids or Bad Aids?
I'm glad you said that so I don't have to get flamed for saying it 😐
AIDS, or HIV? (or "High five" as I once heard a junior doctor say - think about it...)
DrP
Its mainly only the gayer's though. Thats why you don't hear about it. A bit like when foreigners die in earthquakes and plane crashes and things.
Anyway... Its their punishment from god for constantly touching each others bottoms
I'm glad you said that so I don't have to get flamed for saying it
It makes all the difference, as long as they're all Good Aids victims we're OK, otherwise we're descending into Hell 😉
And cats.
Anyway... Its their punishment from god for constantly touching each others bottoms
You can get Aids from touching other people's bottoms? My god, it will be spreading via toilet seats next....
binners, years ago that may have had alot of truth- complex mix-meetings etc etc are spreading the risk now though.
Years ago I had a test - the Dr said 'have you had sex with someone from Africa or unprotected sex with a man'?
no.
'So why are you here'?
Nowadays its strains of Gonorrhea and mixed-casual sex that are spreading.
100,000 is a bloody lot. Probably not much as a percentage but **** 😯

Was that your reply to the doc?
Can you catch it form wearing another gentleman's leather chaps?
Just curious, like....
No it's bird flu now or was might be swine flu, we've also had ebola.
DrP points out rather briefly though that AIDS is not what a lot of people think of when they here the word.
what about 2nd hand PVC fetish gear from trans-gender triathletes?
That sort of stuff seems very popular on STW recently.....
maybe we should get the forum tested?
But I've never even injected! 😥
Not a very interesting stat in isolation. Better to look at trends and whether the number is on the increase? There's also a certain amount of estimation that goes on for the undiagnosed figures. Also people with HIV are living longer and mortality rates are apparently comparable with the general population.
Edit: oh and as DrP suggests, the figure is of people living with HIV and not AIDS.
Isn't it becoming a bit more like Prostate Cancer these days*? I.e. most blokes over a certain age have it but it's such a slow burner that they generally die of something else before the PC gets them?
* Obviously the girlies can get HIV too, and no doubt there are other differences, but hopefully the gist is accurate.
Now if you'd said 100,000 are dying from AIDS
But they're living, God has chosen not to take them
Actually, I think he's waiting for the result of a vote on gay Bishops before deciding what to do with them.
Also people with HIV are living longer and mortality rates are apparently comparable with the general population.
Good point.
But I've never even injected!
Not too late to make up for lost time. Start off with Vim then work up to Cillit Bang...
As a percentage its 0.16% of the population.
I dont find it surprising, i saw a young man in custody the other day who had ejaculated blood the night before....(christ knows why i was asked to see him during his detention, it had no bearing but thats another story)....he said he was sleeping with upwards of 2 girls a day and not using condoms....when i asked why not he didnt know why, he just proudly stated that he had never used condoms....when i asked how he was picking up 2 girls a day he said its easy....friends, friends of friends, facebook friends etc etc....he then said that a few of these girls had told him they had STIs but he had sex with them anyway....
....what chance is there when scum like him (and those he's sleeping with) have this attitude to condoms?!
a friends wife is hiv positive (cheating ex husband!)
doesnt affect them much,they did try ivf but ended up adopting- as long as she keeps on the meds life expectancy is about the same,

Its mainly only the gayer's though. Thats why you don't hear about it.
interestingly, the stats seem to show its only about half gayers, the biggest recent rises are in black heterosexual immigrants fom africa... about 1/3 of the total - its like a daily mail headline in itself 😯

😯 😯 😯
I gather he, and his doubtless numerous offspring will soon be adding to the figure then? EEK!

A friend at Uni had Hep C because her boyfriend liked sleeping with prostitutes. She only found out when her life suddenly drastically changed forever when she became really ill.
Additionally, from a medical statistic point of view, you need to be aware of the difference between [b]prevalence[/b] and [b]incidence[/b] when stating figures like these (I say 'you' - I mean the press etc)
DrP
[i]....what chance is there when scum like him (and those he's sleeping with) have this attitude to condoms?! [/i]
Says more about the women, than him...
Never wear another man/woman's Lycra pants or double dip the old chammy cream is sound advice.
....what chance is there when scum like him (and those he's sleeping with) have this attitude to condoms?!
Can't we just round them all up and dump them on the Isle of White?
😉

And sadly, their children.
And due to the prevalence of prejudice against them, it's usually necessary to keep the facts of any infection secret from the school they attend.
Now there's a daily mail headline.

Advisable not to sleep with a bi-sexual african immigrant then?
100,000 people in the UK are living with AIDs
Is that all 😯
Asthma Key facts
5.4 million people in the UK are currently receiving treatment for asthma: 1.1 million children (1 in 11) and 4.3 million adults (1 in 12).
There were 1,131 deaths from asthma in the UK in 2009 (12 were children aged 14 years or under). That’s on average, 3 people per day or 1 person every 8 hours dies from asthma.
People who are inadvertently infected with AIDS/HIV is very sad but sometimes the press needs to keep things in perspective

You can't catch asthma from african immigrants or gays, so it doesn't really make a good tabloid headline.
We're never going to fit that lot on the Isle of White!
The press has only stated a fact, not declared an epidemic .

Sadly very true in our media driven lives 🙁
I got cat aids once but it turned out to be an allergy to the washing powder.
Where is the Isle of White??
Do you mean the Isle of Wight?

Its kind of academic at this point. We're going to fill it full of ill people, then nuke it!

Then it will be the Isle of charred rock and chav 😉
But, but.. If you send the RAF in to bomb it, the bomb may be sent to some far off land in Narnia or a crushed Atol the French have obliterated already, and you don't want to waste bomb'idge do you.. I mean, bombs cost £'s and in this period of austerity you have to quite accurate where your spendings going.
Just saying like.
And, can you get on with it please, I'm looking forward to the view out of my bedroom window of a vast open ocean with no rubble and pointy rocks in the way, not to say the change in the sea state would also be most welcome, the SWly's will be most impressive.
Fair point, just dump them all there and stop the ferries. They can run feral and have as much sex as they like with each other....
Bingo lives there 🙂Do you mean the Isle of Wight?
^^ but its like that over there now ^^
Bingo lives there
Do you get conjugal visits
Only 100,000?
You're not even trying: [url= http://www.avert.org/aids-botswana.htm ]Botswana has 300,000[/url]* and homosexuality is illegal.
Seriously: unprotected sex with randoms is a stupid thing to do whatever continent you're on. Antiretrovirals are for life, not just for Christmas, and if you forget/stop taking them you're even more stuffed than before.
As you were...
*if you didn't click through: Botswana's population is 2,000,000
Sadly poeple living with a HIV infection, is a lot less than those liveing with drug deppendancy, alchohol dependency,cancer,heart disease and astma, all life threatening.
And like HIV, can be avoided by subtle changes in life style and better education.
Its kind of academic at this point. We're going to fill it full of ill people, then nuke it!
i think there's a reasonable case for just nuking the isle of wight anyway.
Poor Bingo! Oh well.... Say your goodbye's Hora!

Still;Im not going to take any chances.
I may have missed someone posting it but...
100,000 are you sure that's what you heard?
Up to 10,000 unaware of their infection, says study
I still say we need to bomb the Isle of Wight.
Is it still there? It bloody well shouldn't be! I issued strict orders and grid references a couple of hours ago.

Is it still there?
Not checked, but it can't hurt to have a fair few strikes, just to make sure....
no it doesn'tSays more about the women, than him...
Those asthma stats are scary
"looks out of window, Yup.. Yup it's still there"
"Can see Ryde Church Tower from bedroom window"
"waves, both hand and sea variety"
I may have missed someone posting it but...100,000 are you sure that's what you heard?
Maybe he did but that's HIV positive in that report, like I said some people misunderstand AIDS and HIV.
You can actually cure HIV, the problem though is that the treatment involved has a far higher chance of killing you dead and therefore reducing your life expectancy 
than HIV does.
Killing you dead, that's the worst kind of killing.
I was being silly
Years ago I had a test - the Dr said 'have you had sex with someone from Africa or unprotected sex with a man'?
I had the same and REALLY pissed off a White South African girl by ticking yes!
Is too dark to drop bombs now..
Maybe tomorrow??
I was being silly
O'reily?
or "High five" as I once heard a junior doctor say
They'd do that once in my presence. And once only.
The local euphemism is 350D. I know not why.

On the cure thing, if you accidentally get porked in the rectum and realise the perpetrator was shooting you full of HIV, you can take a high dose of antiretrovirals within the 1st few days to have a chance of it developing into positive HIV!
I put some money in a charity shaker raising money for Aid's support in the UK at Kings Cross the other day - I swear most men are too afraid to give any money because they think others will assume they have AIDS if they're donating to charity. Everyone gave the man and woman collecting a huge birth as they walked past.
I blame the women to be honest, every time I sleep with a woman, about 1 out of 8 will make me wrap up, quite a passion killer but after I've shot me muck I feel glad I covered up, women should have more responsibility as its them who'll be hosting the child! I've had clamidea a few times but that isn't bad at all, in fact a common cold is worse and they give u a tablet to clear it anyway and free jonnys if u can be arsed wi em! 😆
