WOW!!!
Had no idea about this. Such stupidity is better to happen out my knowledge.
I work in Health system and HIV is just and stigma given to a disease where most of us where made to think is was just affecting homosexuals, drug users and such a kind of people, when reality is so different.
When I was studying medicine in 90´s many university students tested and were +, most of them are actually lawyers, engineers, doctor in whatever, etc.
Have you ever think just kissing an infected partner after a teeth brush is a possibility of getting it (usually we have micro open gingival injuries after brushing teeth, that means blood to blood in an open injurie.
Have you ever think most of us have little injuries in fingers, near nails most of them and when you get contact with any sexual fluid in a masturbation is just contacting virus with and open injurie?
Have you ever think any dermatological lost of skin integrity, just after running, just an infected hair, just a depilation injurie is enough to open a door to HIV, because fluids (vaginal) use to go down preservative to inguinal and escrote zones???
So what?
We should have to become into plastic all ourselves to have any not necesary complete sexual relationship???
By the way, HIV can be in you and not being detected in 6 months in blood tests...
By the way, most people I know actually with HIV are people you will never suspect they are infected.
Won´t you help in an accident a child bleeding in an accident??? Then you shouldn´t, I know many children infected and remember about injuries in hands...are evil open doors...
HIV is just and infection which way of being contagious is simply the same than some liver diseases ( ex: B and C). Actually is probably easier to die by a viral hepatitis C disease than HIV. But you know somebody with BHV is "well seen" and HIV is demonized, what a shit when way of transmission is just the same, simply the luck you got.
And by the way...do you know most the infections in european we notice actually are people with parnert with no other relations out of it which got it from their partners because they where infected long time ago whithout knowing or simply because of an infedility??? Remember blood test do not confirm after 6 months...
Well at least in last test I was (-), health workers use to make test every year at last, but putting and example in my career: Eyes are wide open doors to any kind of infection, are just like open beeding injuries, one day stiching one man an artery was touched and suddenly a blood shot impacted my eyes...man was infected with hepatitis, but we could not know if something else because of that window period for HIV, I was makink test every 3 months for a year. All (-), but I could had been perfectly infected by anything. Accidents similar this in emergencies several a year (all uniform stained with blood...OMG I have a little injurie in arm made this morning at home!!!
So I have thought is better not to live in paranoia, just the prudence knowing risk and thinking if I can get it working...many people as normal as me can get it in such stupid situations as descripted before and suddenly one day they can be demonized for getting simply an allness without knowing how they did it.
Different those who play with fire, and those who are bastards and spreread the disease for being bad. I should have no problem in having a worker with HIV if that is not a risk for others, and for example if they get hurted while working, just advertising don´t contact their blood (if you say you have that potentially lethal C hepatitis, probably nobody will touch you and everybody will think you are a honest man/woman). We stupid human specie.
Cheers and just take care on everythig, but remember there is no 0 risk, even using preservatives or whatever. If anytime have played lotto is that you have thought minimum statistics could smile you, so if it´s possible for good, so can do it for bad
