of course, and there is no concrete proof that a little tiny porcelin teapot circles that the sun does not exist either...

How's that?? It's about educating people not making them ignorant..

I like this thread.

it is one of the more balanced discussions i have seen on the subject.

I've answered this question 3 or 4 times already..

Punter - bloke who frequents above...

Have to admit, I knew only half of those. And I consider myself a pro.

Yeah....But he considers himself an authority on the topic which should include the lingo.. You haven't claimed that title..

you didn't really.

you sort of said that adults are more likely to make bad sex options in dark continents than kids and therefore african adults have aids a lot more often than anyone else because they have mosquitos more than someone from bridgend or Omaha or prague.

i think there is a lot more to this than the mozzie story.

actually could be all that reggae musik that they listen to!

rots the brain you know!

YES i agree, Oh fok it I'm off to bed.

Scienceline » If malaria can be transmitted through a mosquito’s bite, why not HIV?

seems the scientific community ruled it out in about 1988.

Thanks for the link this is anything but definitive!! And it was in the first 2 paragraphs!!

Scientists have pretty much ruled out the possibility that mosquitoes can spread the virus that causes AIDS. No documented case of HIV has ever been linked to the hated bloodsucker. While lack of evidence cannot by itself disprove a hypothesis, the chances of a mosquito transmitting HIV are so slim that the idea has faded out of scientific discussion as researchers face the real challenges of the immense predicament of AIDS.

^^ thats no fun! I was lookin fwd to your intelligent resposnes to this thread!

unless ya got a couple of take aways wiv ya!

^ ya got me! if u read my post i'm agreeing wiv ya on that one! I cannot conclusively prove that mozzies do not transmit AIDS,

same as I cannot conclusively prove that God DOES NOT exist.

That can be changed real quick

really?

still retains a 100% fatality rate....

and 25-30 million infections is a fairly big number, no?

Err well yes, quite. But HIV isn't absorbed through the pores of the skin so no problem

^Not just that, but apart from condom-less vaginal penetration, it's probably not likely to be spread at all. As I stated earlier, unprotected oral sex is highly unlikely to be a risk for HIV. (Yes, it is a risk for other things, but those aren't under discussion).

Party on.

careful, Driventown will have stats that proves it does, and then ask us to disprove the theory!

tell that to the Indian truckdrivers who are all contracting it....
