No VoodooRuutz. I feel keeping a open mind IS the direction to go. I man main point is we cant just pray aids away or wish it didn't exist as a only defense. I can Identify w the researchers not following mainstream so of course I would not just brush dem off.

Look up the "David Gutierrez" case!

The outcome of this case from what Iget of it goes completely against the accepted way of thinking when it comes to HIV's sexual transmission.

Yeah this goes against the popular misunderstanding about transmision. At least the misunderstanding among regular people. "Defense lawyers argued the risk of infection by an HIV-positive man during sexual intercourse with a woman ranged from a 1-in-10,000 to 1-in-100,000 chance per sexual encounter, which they contend is so low that it doesn't meet the legal standard for assault. Prosecutors countered that the exposure risk was closer to 1 in 500. The court concluded that even if the risk were 1 in 500, transmission of the disease was not "likely" to occur."

http://www.catie.ca/en/pif/summer-2012/putting-number-it-risk-exposure-hiv 1 in 500 to 1 in 2500. For each time. Meaning if 1s partner has it, after some months/years together, 1 more than likely to get it. And the thing is the partner could have it without knowing or displaying any symptoms until long after dem both infected. You have to get your head around the numbers at hand but the case really didn't throw up anything new. Funny thing about the case was, the numbers he were coming out with ...next to the research.. Reveal exactly what he was doing inA sodom, smh

Ok, I think I looked at the numbers of the trial a certain way but they can be looked at differently also. One way would make this risk seem higher than the other, still tho I think supm aint all what is made to be but still not supm to play with

Lol, Like most things they tell us half de story right ... What we do know is InI a suffer!

Messenger: KnowThySelf333 Sent: 9/25/2015 6:55:51 AM

But even if they are living together for years the chance of transmission is the same everytime they have sex.It doesnt get higher. Its like playing the lottery for years may or may not raise your chance of winning because everytime you play the odds are the same. Still,you dont wanna play lottery with your life. So stay safe.

^^Not quite. The ratio will remain constant for each individual time you play lottery yes. But a person with 10 tickets a week is clearly more likely (even if slightly more) to win than a person with 1 ticket ever Check this: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1270573/probability-of-winning-the-lottery-the-more-you-play-it Another example. The probability is 1/2 every time you flip a coin. But if you flip a coin 100 times you are more than 50% likely to get at least ONE 'heads' for example. All you need is one positive transmission.....
