Both drugs and condoms needed to stop HIV: study

HONG KONG (Reuters) - HIV infections could quadruple over 10 years if HIV-positive people who are taking antiretroviraldrugs become complacent and stop using condoms, researchers in Australia warned.

The warning, published in The Lancet, comes after the Swiss Federal Commission for HIV/AIDS said in a controversial statement earlier this year that HIV-positive people on effective treatment were sexually non-infectious.

But the Australian researchers stressed that while the risk of transmission from people on effective therapy was low, it was unlikely to be zero.

Guys need to be taught to control their dicks, and to stop trying to get laid with girls. This is the only real way to slow the spread of HIV and AIDS.

This is an amazingly dumb comment.

Why the hate against guys? You should be telling women to stop having sex. Tell women to control their vaginas.

How very retarded anyway, to think to tell people in general to stop having sex.

Real solutions:

1. Cheap and quick HIV testers.

They have 15 minute saliva tests now. Make the more available and cheaper.

2. Microbicides gels and creams that kill HIV

It has already proven that it is possible and a number of creams/gels are being tested. They need more funding and people pushing the governments to get them on the market.

3. Thinner and better condoms.

The reality is that many people, men and women, hate condoms:

A. Many people are allergic to latex

B. Many people are allergic to the spermicide gels put on the condoms.

C. The condoms cause erection failure in many guys. So many guys hate wearing them.

D. The condoms cause many women to get dry so sex hurts and many women don`t like using them.

Deal with what really is going on and try to make the condoms better. It is time to stop the unrealistic marketing lies about condoms because they have been around forever but people are not using to the level they could.

It is also time to get real about sex and stop saying dumb things like "stop having sex", because there is no way that is going to happen.

There are some obvious alternate solutions that can be tried.

You don't understand. Guys are the ones who usually try to initiate sex, because they walk around with constant boners! If there was a way to prevent guys dicks from going up, there would be a lot less sex going on, and less STDs and AIDS!
