I do find it concerning when people say the odds of catching it are low. Makes me wonder how the 10's of millions with it worldwide got it if it's that difficult to get.
"it has been estimated that the heterosexual HIV transmission rate in Thailand (where subtype E predominates) is fifty-fold higher than that observed in USA and Europe (where subtype B predominates)."
Lots more here, not sure how up to date it is, but type E is easier to get via heterosexual intercourse.

"Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

Reminds me that Stickman posted on his webpage a few months back that there was a girl in Nana, who frequently bare backed customers and knew she was HIV+. He declined to name the bar she worked in...

I think the UN estimates/guesstimates that around 40 million are hiv positive worldwide, mostly Africa, India, Russia and China. I'm sure that's a conservitive figure, for sure, but when you read stuff from the OP story and some of the other links/facts etc presented then I'm amazed it's not 10 times that number considering the recklessness of so many when it comes to sex, especially after becoming intoxicated with something. I suppose we can only guess at the numbers of people walking around that are positive and don't know.

True, thoughOriginally Posted by chitown

This has to be true if only 40 million have it out of a current world population of 6.796 billion. I ain't got enough 0's on me calculator to do the percentage. Any clever dicks out there ?Originally Posted by Don Juan
Very true Sd...but there'll always be those willing to risk it...

How do you know it wasn't a Thai? Plenty of Thai hookers overseas; plenty of Thai blokes going overseas on business having a bit while there.
Prat!
Actually type 'E' is found mostly in Asia. It is very much a local strain. Other strains of the disease are found elsewhere.
My amulet protects me from HIV infection. It also protects me from bullets.

It's strange it's so hard to find information on tranmissability... wikipedia says it's 0.04% per incident for female to male, but "can be 10 times higher in 3rd world countries". Wiki also says condoms reduce the chance of transmission "by 85%".
And in this thread the number "50 times higher for strain E" was tossed around.
I found another interesting thread on the topic which came to the conclusion that basically, statistics don't count for much. There are going to be some who have a very infectious viral load and if you happen to hit one of those your chances of contracting are way higher.
As for "local" diseases, there are no local diseases anymore. All diseases are global.

Of course you could also just buy one of these...

You complete and utter Fu*kwit...fancy saying something so utterly stupid as that...I haven't read the article, however she got it it is her duty to inform anyone who is likely to have sex with her that she is HIV+. Not doing so is tantamount to murder in my book.Originally Posted by Wallalai
As is I'm sure in most countries. Knowingly giving a deadly disease to someone is surely murder.
I know a few people with HIV and most did not catch it directly, usually it was their husbands who were playing away and then...what do you know...your fecked...It's a very sad illness and a nasty way to die...generally slow and painful.
As for your comments about it being an uneducated farang...what the hell does it matter educated or not???? many people uneducated or not contract HIV one way or another..
"It's not a local disease and the farangs brought it here" WTF!!!! AM23 is a moron.....bet a millon % also a Thai!!! Both seem to go hand in hand...there you go we can all make stupid comments
Sympathy for anyone with any deadly disease is the human thing to be thinking, not callous and ridiculous judgements...Ah your mum's got cancer..serves her right...what kind of mentality is that????
Anyway you get cancer, your pretty much dead...You get HIV you can live for many years.....death is death and dead is dead...whichever way you look at it....It all brings misery and sorrow to those left behind.
