"Hence, HIV is no guessing work."

Love that comment.


And true,....no matter the risk.....it is still  a "risk", despite the "probability".
After all,....who really wants to play the probability game with their life/health?

Certainly not me.

In India, majority of HIV transmission is due to heterosexual events and the HIV subtype C accounts for 84% of HIV strains in India. India has 3.8 million people infected with HIV.

*The HIV subtype C is observed predominantly in the affected heterosexual community and subtype B in the homosexual community.

Hence, HIV is no guessing work.

Lol. There is just never no agreement in this forum. Dr. HHH who seems to be the main HIV expert says that any 1 risk for a man who has vaginal sex with a HIV positive female is 1 in 2000. I do not understand how you can call that high risk activity. I aint bashing anyone who said it was high risk activity either cause you all know more than me, but going by what Dr. HHH said, I dont get where this high risk comes from. Of course 1 in 2000 or not, its not a chance im willing to take.  So I dont know really what to believe anymore.

I looked up aquaculture, that stuff looks really cool!  I'm not a big lobster fan, but it does go well with beer...

Fish is cool, I love fish, especially "Finding Nemo".

HIV is a huge subject.  I'm an expert in some areas, less so in others.  I must admit that there are some things about HIV I know almost nothing about - even though I probably should...
