Personally I like this idea of teachers with no degrees.
I mean, why create this barrier between the teacher and the student?
Let the blind lead the blind, see what happens )))
This way you can also smoke some crack with your professor in the informal setting...can't beat that

How did the lady he cheated on his wife with get HIV?
Did he get ARS? How did he know that he got HIV? Did he get the HIV test after he found out she died of AIDS?
Did he put his wife at risk of HIV?

Yes the woman was infected at the time he had sex with her and he didn't know. No bournemistake it was not his first sexual encounter in life. It was the first and only time he had sex with her. Yes he cheated on his wife and now he regrets it dearly.
I have a girlfriend that I haven't known long, but already she wants sex and I can't do it with this over my head. God works in mysterious ways. Before this I had to wine and dine. I meet a girl who can't keep her hands off me, and I can't do anything.
Just curious, the case you mentioned was a) vaginal b) hetero-anal or c) too much info to share
I'll say he regrets it. I guess some people just have horrible luck. If his wife is still with him, she is an incredible woman and he is lucky he has her.
Just curious, the case you mentioned was a) vaginal b) hetero-anal or c) too much info to share
I don't understand. Do you mean his first encounter with the infected woman? Or his first sexual encounter ever in his life?
Yes, I know a guy that contracted it on his first and only encounter. He is also married and he's lucky his wife has forgiven him. He found out later the gal died of AIDS.
That came here and didn't know a darn thing. Would you like me to bring up your worries?
I have high cholestrol and IBS...
does it make me an expert in those ailmets?
I teach, work in hospitals and consult in the area that I have my degrees in.... I do that because I am an expert... the wallpaper that I have verifies that. Otherwise... im just a guy that has read a lot of stuff.

I think you are the most expert person on these forums in my opinion.
Do you personally know anybody that got HIV from heterosexual intercourse with less than four encounters of said intercourse?

I think anyone who lives with the disease, (the disease that we all fear and cant stop talking about) and teaches a class on it is an expert by most standards.
I'm not looking for a title of Expert. I'm just a person that lives with the disease and I happen to teach classes on HIV/AIDS. I too would go to a doctor to ask questions, one that treats patients for HIV and AIDS, that prescribes tests and one that knows pharmacology and is up to date on treatment and trials that are available.
A "B" average does not mean much when the grades are inflated to begin with.
and technically, you could maintain a B average, with a C in a course.... A + C = x/2 = B so there went that statement.
If I ever had a person with a H.S. diploma walk into my nuerology course to be my instructor because she is a self proclaimed expert... that would have been the day I resigned from school and began teaching at another "college." Why, because they are obvisously in dire need of qualifeid instructors. I would have also demanded a refund. You, know I never thought my college to be outstanding until now. I thought I just went to a mediaocre college. I didn't realize it had such high standards, after all... I got accepted, based on my good looks, in ability to spell, and charm.
I think we have someone here trying their best to justify, or at least up-lift their standing ont this forum. Well, if that be the case, you do not need it here at this forum. We don't care about degrees. If we did, we would pay the 15$ and ask the doctor. Otherwise, we are just a bunch of folks looking for assistance among freinds & family. Teak, there is no doubt you know a lot about what you are talking about and probably you fit your deffinition of an expert. But that deffinition you like use sure does not apply at my uni's.
