so because some japanese girls go out with Africans they re going to spread the virus ??? How many Africans people do you see in Japan ?
How many Japanese and foreign men go on those sex expedition in Thailand ? The thing is japanese girls themselves favor white men , so there again your argument is wrong.
If you wanna be racist , please be ,but don’t say that africans are spreading aids in Japan .

Kumiko is going to be just fine. I urge you to give her to read my message. HIV test are unreliable. Tell your ex Kumiko demend the HIV test disclaimers, ALL of them ELISA, WESTERN BLOT, PCR. She needs to read them carefully. She needs to read the small print. They all say they are NOT design for diognostic use, they are not design to detect the presence or the absence of HIV infection. She is pregnant. One of the 60 well documented conditions and diseases result in false-positives is PREGNANCY, because when a woman is pregnant she dvelopes massive amounts of antibodies against her own body thus resulting in false-positive HIV test. HIV is harmless passenger retrovirus and has nothing to do with AIDS defying diseases. There are thousands of people called “dissidents” who are 20+ years “positive” and live normal healthy lives without toxic HAART’s drugs. Antiretroviral drugs are DNA chain terminators and often times mimic AIDSyndrome. Please, please, please tell her not to take toxic drugs and read read read before she makes such decission. There are AIDS people who are HIV negative, newethereless they also die. Much questions remain about HIV=AIDS hypothesis. She can learn about it at perthgroup.com, rethinkingaids.com, virusmith.com and such. There are at least fourty websites of AIDS rethinkers.

Yes HIV+ positive people die from AIDS, however the number of those positives who remain alive after 20+ years without taking medications and never develop AIDS far outweights the number of those positives who die of AIDS and those who on HAART’s. That alone raises the question of just how lethal HIV is and if the eversoevolving virus is a sole cause of AIDS. AIDS in Africa is a totally different from AIDS in the West and Europe, but you need to research that on your own and I promise you’ll be amazed at the differences of HIV=AIDS in different countries!

Fighter, I urge you to read Vladimir Koliadin’s hypothesis about The distruction of friendly microflora in the gut as a main cause of AIDS in homosexuals. Google Vladimir Koliadin or go to virusmith.com and read about his work very carefully!!!

Good luck to all and stay healthy. HIV is far from a death sentence!!!

One of the major barriers I have found so far in Japan is the lack of understanding of what HIV is and what it can do and what it can not do. I told one of my female Japanese friends (mid 20s) that I was HIV+ and she freaked out as she though that it was AIDs and I was going to die before the end of week. I couldnt believe it. In fact she didn’t know there was a difference between HIV and AIDS.

Ironically despite such a lack of public awareness of HIV and a lack of sex education, Japan actually does treat HIV patients well and like normal human beings. There is extra support from the NHI system, and it is classed as a ‘disability’ so that you can be eligible for various discounts, and tax exemptions.

Anyone else in a similar situation? I would love to hear if anyone else has gone through the same thing.

As a med student taking the career in Mexico City, I’ve only seen 1 HIV positive patient (very briefly), but I’ve met several people that got Hepatitis B and C. One of the people that has Hepatitis B is a teacher of mine who doesn’t even know how in the hell he got the virus, just that it probably happened during his internship year and it was probably by handelling contaminated blood. Luckily he was of the 70% of people that managed to fight the virus and his liver won’t get ruined because of it. Makes me feel kinda icky in the insides because I’m not vaccinated yet, I just don’t have the cash right now.

The two patients that got Hepatitis C got the virus by blood transfusions and one of these two people didn’t even know she had the virus in the first place, she only came in because she had a very bad case of skin petechiae and protruding blood vessels in the abdomen, along with a bad case of ascites that appeared just a few days before she went to the hospital.

I’ve heard rumors that a resident of Ear-nose-throat got infected with HIV treating a patient in one of the hospitals I go to. Just to show you don’t have to be a floosey to get the virus.

No matter where you are, educate people about STD’s, they are more common than you think. Hepatitis B and C infection is like 100 times more infectious than HIV and the disease kills you a lot faster. There’s some treatments for both, but getting the deadly chronic form of the disease is like russian roulette. There’s over a 95% chance of getting chronic hepatitis C infection and there’s no vaccine for it.

Mexico isn’t the eden of sexual activity responsability either (mexican males think using a condom makes them less macho for some reason), but at least they try to teach the generic dangers of getting HIV in schools here.

I feel sorry for the poor girl who got dumped when her boyfriend discovers she has HIV. Just shows how little love he had for her in the first place. The worst that can happen to a person with a disease like this is to be socially outcast and living in a hut waiting to die as if we were back in the days when antiretrovirals didn’t exist. Hope the fianceé of the author of this article didn’t leave him; and I’m sure the experience has taught him a valuable lesson about safe sex.

You’d be surprised to know how many faithful mexican women get infected with HIV from their spouses who went cruisin’ when they were illegal immigrants in the US and come back when they get deported with the virus as a good-bye gift.

As for those medical articles, I’ll enjoy reading them (it’s 2:30 am right now, so I’ll read em when I’m more awake).
