if retrovirus like HIV can only be transmitted through humans. why we don't simply put all AIDS patients in AIDS city?
in 30-50 years AIDS won't exist anymore and we can stop shelling billions into HIV research
we have a chance to eliminate the problem for good, but we rather endanger people and keeping patients alive on medicine

what if we make an HIV database where you pay 30$ to access a month and you simply look for the person you want to have sex with. if that person is infected it will show in the database.
the subscription fee wil go to funding medicine for HIV patients
>>
>>8951972
making something illegal (e.g. it being illegal to continue to live your life in your city after contracting AIDS) only drives it underground.
All of a sudden there is an incentive to keep it a secret, to not even get tested. Those who have it will then live in fear, with a reduced quality of life. Seeking treatment will be difficult to impossible and prohibitively expensive except for the most wealthy, and even then is a risk because it may uncover your secret. Some of them will continue to spread it, as they will be too scared to tell their sexual partners, out of fear of deportation.

etc, etc

tl;dr
Making things illegal doesn't make them go away it just drives them underground and makes many facets of the problem much worse

Sexual transmission of HIV is 0% for oral <0.01% for vaginal <0.03% for anal. The contamination is 99.99% due to drug addicts and blood receiving. Sex is not the problem here if you get HIV from sex you are truly unlucky. Plus HIV patients tend to live a good and long life as the medical expense for their drugs gets cheaper. So no need for radical measures. Just wear condoms, dont do iv drugs and you are good to go.

Because it's an inhuman way to treat your fellow human being. Transmission is easy to prevent. Treatment is available and it effectively controls progression of AIDS. If medication is administered quickly enough

The actual numbers are total bullshit.
Oral: negligible unless one or both partners has open sores, warts or contact is made with menstrual blood.
Vaginal sex: .04%
Anal sex: 1.43%

These numbers assume your partner knows they are infected and is receiving proper treatment in a first world country. Risks are four times higher when having sex with someone who is not receiving treatment.

Acute infection (about 12 weeks after first contracting the disease) increases your risk by 26 times. Many people are unaware they are even infected at this point.

Other STIs can increase risk such as active herpes sores in either partner will increase risk by about 8 times or by 30 times if both parties are infected.

You are clearly a poz'd fagot who is spreading dissinfo putting lives at risk and you need to be shot because the bullshit you are spreading can kill.

Too bad, that's going to be the case regardless of what you do.

>this is why i suggest the database,
Then people just won't put their names into the database.

If you want to address AIDS, you will need the co-operation of people who are suffering from it. That basically requires you don't try to do stuff that will fuck them over, like putting their names in a public database or locking them up in camps. Otherwise people just won't get tested, and If they know they're infected they'll keep it a secret - making the problem worse.

>>
>>8953403
>there should be no citizens walking around with something deadly as HIV inside them

It's not HIV that kills you, it's the opportunistic infections people contract after they develop AIDS. Without several rounds of laboratory testing, people will simply not know they're HIV+ until years after exposure. They will literally remain asymptomatic for years before anything that even remotely resembles AIDS starts presenting itself.

>when others don't know about it.

Even if someone knows they have HIV, they are not obligated to inform you of that fact.

In my country you're actually forbidden from testing anybody for HIV without their express permission, or even asking them about it in something like a job interview. The reason people passed this law is because of uneducated, prejudiced individuals such as yourself who would discriminate against sick people at the earliest opportunity.

>a person who carries HIV is basically a weapon.

This is the kind of idiotic statement that proves how dumb /sci/ is. HIV isn't gonna jump out at you. Last time I checked people don't fuck or get blood transfusions from random people off the street.

>this is why i suggest the database, which helps both HIV patients and actual people that don't want to get infected

Do you know about the silly sex offender database the USA has? You can earn a lifetime registration in that list for the most idiotic of reasons even if you were just a teenager doing stupid shit. In the future people will instantly assume you're a child molester.

Public lists only help prejudiced idiots who want to pass quick & easy judgement on people they never met without needing even a slight understanding of the problem.

>that's what im saying.

Assuming you meant they can donate HIV+ blood.

Doctors don't transfuse random blood into patients either. They test the blood for diseases before it's approved for transfusion. HIV is certainly on the list.

>HIV is not a virus where you can easily detect so its like ricin in a sense

A cheap, highly-sensitive, quick HIV test takes 5-10 minutes to do and only requires a drop of blood. I've done many such tests in routine primary care and pre-natal care. If the result is negative you can be reasonably sure you don't have HIV. If it comes back positive, you follow up with specific tests to confirm the diagnosis.

When people know they have HIV, they're likely to seek treatment. If they take antiretroviral medication correctly, they will extend the latent period of the disease and remain healthy for a very long time. It will also pretty much eliminate their transmission of HIV.

https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/testing/

It's also absolutely nothing like ricin. It's not a poison, it doesn't kill you and it will take years to completely take out your immune system.

They can't even argue that they contracted HIV because of muh need fuck strangers. The fact is people can be promiscuous and use protection at the same time. Barrier type birth control methods protect against sexually transmissible diseases, HIV included.

The risk of HIV infection during unprotected sex exists but is small if compared to sharing needles. People can literally put on a condom and be reasonably sure that the risk of HIV infection is so low as to be negligible.

Sometimes I wonder if 4chan virgins have even seen a condom

>you don't know if you have HIV because there is no such thing as HIV symptoms

But there is such a thing called laboratory testing for HIV. You know, the subject of the paragraph that precedes the one you quoted. When people get tested for HIV, they receive a test result. Coupled with clinical evaluation by a healthcare professional, the test results become a diagnosis, which has the nice effect of informing people about whether they do or don't have HIV. The diagnosis also comes pre-packaged with information about prevention or treatment options.

>>HIV infected guy works at the blood bank
>>shoots up some HIV into blood deposits
>>100% infection rate on all patients

Healthcare professionals aren't waiters who spit in your food out of spite. It's time to stop posting and check yourself into a mental institution before your paranoia makes you hurt or kill innocent people.

>if we weren't sleeping on the problem

Actual scientists (the real kind, not /sci/ kind) are constantly researching HIV. You can verify this by checking any reputable journal. If you're even aware there is such a thing.

>you don't even argue a different solution

I don't need to "argue" in favor of a different solution. That implies I set out to convince you specifically. Last time I checked you're not in charge of public health policy, so your idiocy won't impact an entire country's worth of people. There's no need for me to argue about anything with you.

I'm posting here for the benefit of other people. The only thing I did was explain the extremely simple & effective prevention and treatment options we have today, as well as basic facts about HIV and AIDS to dispel the mist of prejudice you kept casting.

Also, these things happen because of statistics, not incompetence. There is no perfect test. Even the most sensitive HIV tests are only like 95% sensitive. There is a small chance of false negatives.

but that's not my point, have you ever been to the doctor? usually when you fever or something you get like 9 referrals until they might conceive you have HIV. i believe that in most cases they won't even bother checking because there are thousands of illness that comes with fever and shaking and doctors are always looking for the thing that makes the most sense first

>Healthcare professionals aren't waiters who spit in your food out of spite.

im not paranoid, its reality. if i told you 50 years ago that there is this thing called HIV and there are millions of infected you would laugh at my face.

Great smear campaign you have there.

That's the most problematic part of the article. Failure to follow biological security procedures is gross negligence. Other dentists in the area probably didn't have HIV.

>Before Miss Bergalis died at age 23, she and her family waged a crusade for laws mandating that all medical workers get AIDS tests and be forced to tell their patients if they were infected.

I didn't know that someone could be an even bigger idiot than OP is.

>>8953512

I literally told you I'm a healthcare professional a couple posts ago. HIV tests are part of a routine STD panel as well as standard in pre-natal care.

>which included the use of masks and gloves while treating patients. Acer used neither

If this is true, then it's gross negligence. This specific dentist neglected to take measures that would protect his patients from his own infection.

You do realize that the article was published in 1993.

Rules about forced quarantine are some of the oldest we have as a society, going back before the founding of the nation.

Aids is a biological weapon that has been used to kill in countless occasions.

Your just a fucking fagot who deserves to be shot to rid the earth of your aids.

But honestly I don't really care. Aids kills the degenerate, I just hope it continues to gain immunity to the treatments you throw at it. Soon all the fudge packers and niggers will die.

You do know that Clinton foundation conspired with producers of aids medication to jack up rates in america to pad there pockets (and the clintons coffers). Treatment that costs ~$200 per year to produce costs Americans $36,000 per year. Meanwhile they give this shit away like candy in Africa to boost the nigger population.

In america our total fertility rate is 1.87, and that's including all the minorities and immigrants that shit out babies like a pez dispenser. Half of Affrica is over 5.

So yeah, let all the liberals and fagots get aids, then cut off the supply to meds and we won't even need the day of the rope. Most people who have it deserve to die for there degenerate ways anyhow. Not like we cant afford to purge hemophilia out of our gene pool anyhow.

I'm not arguing ethics. Where the hell did you get that idea.

>then its not too bad if i want HIV patients to not reproduce.

It is too bad. Too bad for you, not them. It shows how stupid and uneducated you are.

Given proper treatment it's possible for HIV+ mothers to gestate a completely healthy fetus. There's a reason pre-natal care includes tests for HIV: it's because we can treat the HIV+ mother and newborn. What's the point of testing if you can't do anything with the results?

>we legally allow people to abort children

My country doesn't allow abortion in the general case -- only in case of anencephaly and rape. This isn't an argument since it's an open ended question people have debated for centuries with no real answer in sight.

>we we give 10 year old kids ssri and amphetamines

Antidepressants and stimulants are well-researched and have proved to be quite safe even in children. If the benefits outweigh the risks there is no reason not to use them.

ADHD affects adults too. By the time adults get diagnosed they've already developed coping mechanisms of variable efficacy. Treatment with ritalin or amphetamines are safe and highly effective and dramatically improve quality of life for patients. They do cause some dependence but that just means you can't stop using them abruptly. You have to gradually lower the dosage instead. The biggest concern is the increased cardiovascular risk associated with stimulants. There is no problem with using these things under medical supervision.

I would bet that if doctors don't prescribe proper treatments it's because the USA government goes apeshit when it comes to controlled substances. Even when it's medically warranted they feel the need to butt in and start claiming it's "excessive" or whatever as if you were a drug trafficker with an M.D. Nobody wants to deal with these faggots and the patients miss out because of it.

I'm not sure what your meaning is here.

The combined epidemics of rape and HIV here are no joke and it is definitely not feasible to say that infected persons should just be responsible about it. I agree that a leper colony or a register is a stupid idea, but then what is the short-term solution for my country? I know better education could fix the problem but South African education has been steadily getting worse for a long time now. So we just have to sit on our hands and wait for a cure?

>>8953641
Tolerance is a product of neuroadaptation to toxic neurotransmitter concentrations. There are too many neurotransmitters, so the post-synaptic neuron destroys some of its receptors in order to maintain the same response. When the drug wears off, neurotransmitter concentration goes back to normal but neurotransmission is impaired because there are less receptors now. Tolerance happens with drugs that provoke explosive release of high concentrations of neurotransmitters. This is also associated with the administration route; how quickly the drug enters the brain.

Prescription stimulants are safer because they avoid all of the above. Drugs like lisdexamphetamine are designed for slow, all-day release; a much healthier stimulation profile if compared to your illegal street drugs.

They do actually. It's called "medicine" and is the domain of "doctors". They "inspect" people via questioning, physical examination and complementary testing. They "track" people via medical history, which is confidential information by the way.

Unlike your pathetic damage control proposal, medicine actually helps the sick and by extension society. It's called health care for a reason: people actually get paid to care about other people's health. There's stark contrast between medics, who care about other people, and people like you who don't give a single fuck about the well-being of the HIV+ and would rather they all just disappeared or died.

That's what your stupid thread is about. "Hey guys let's rationalize to each other our fear of AIDS! God why don't they just die already, that'd solve everything"

It's not society that's apathic, it's you kiddo

Literally too many people have HIV/AIDS. You might as well become a time stopping ultra being and prick all of them with clostridium botulinum .

There is a problem though: There exists a virus far more worse than HIV/AIDS.

RV 144, or the Thai trial, is the name of an HIV vaccine clinical trial combining two vaccines that failed on their own, vaccinating in Thailand over the course of 24 weeks in October 2003 then testing for HIV until July 2006 [2], publicly releasing efficacy findings in September 2009. The initial report shows that the rate of HIV infection among volunteers who received the experimental vaccine was 31% lower than the rate of HIV infection in volunteers who received the placebo.[1][2]

There is currently a debate in my country on whether PrEP, some medicine that prevents catching and spreading HIV, should be compensated by basic healthcare. There's apparently a lot of people who would take that pill if it were free, yet refuse to use condoms. So they realize perfectly well they're at risk of getting AIDS, but they'd rather get AIDS than use a condom.
So yeah not all people are rational.

Because for a start, it is not possible to round up every person with HIV/AIDS, segregate them into a single city, cut research funding (because with this mind set, the problem is mostly 'solved') and expect the world to be a better place for it. We can treat HIV to the point where the infected are non-infectious even during unprotected sex, we are even making huge steps to curing it outright, but what is much more difficult to rid the world of is inhumanity on the level you are talking about.

In short, if we are discussing the best approach to increasing global human wellbeing, cultivating inhumanity and social segregation is the opposite of a solution. You might enjoy /r9k/ a little more than /sco/, such notions masquerade as 'rational' all day there and no one notices anything amiss in the reasoning.

They did actually try that in Cuba, though I don't know the result. But there were a lot of complaints about the human rights violation. And with good reason – AIDS is not very contagious, so why should people be quarantined as if it were?

Also, in practice what you're suggesting would be very highly counterproductive, as it would discourage people from getting tested and treated for AIDS, so it would end up being spread faster.

We do indeed have a chance to eliminate the problem for good, by doing what we (in western countries at least) already are.

Not feasible. Huge project that would require millions of people to be displaced over the course of their whole lives, countless different working together and a single case lost could spread the virus again. Stupid idea.

Medication prevents spread. It's already been proven that countries with AIDS programs that provide the meds for patients have reduced costs derived from treatment of complications that make these programs cost efficient, i. e, cheaper to treat than not to treat.

Furthermore, current medication has already turned HIV into a chronic disease that can be managed and guarantee the infected a good life.

If you don't know shit about public health, you really shouldn't talk about it.

>>8953049
There are two groups who are infected through Sex:

Homosexuals:

Because anal sex without lube is much more likely to result in bleeding in the anus or dick and thus the disease can spread.

Africans:

Because in Black Africa sleeping with a women that is wet is considered gay and disgusting. So similar to the gay community small wounds are much, much more likely to appear and thus the disease can spread.

Pretty terrifying because it's very slow to progress because the bacterium that causes it divides once every 15-20 hours (in comparison, E. coli takes about 20 minutes) depending on the data you want to believe. The scariest thing is that we actually don't know a lot about it.
Antibiotics help but it's usually a long course (we are talking 2+ years) and people tend to think that when they show no symptoms they're cured which is false and facilities drug resistance.

I think an extreme drug resistant strain similar to its relative, XDR TB, will cause hysteria in hospitals in developing countries one day.

I've never understood the hype about AIDS...

There are dozens of STD's, some of which are deadly without immediate treatment, a few of which drive you insane, and almost all of which are much more communicable and highly prevalent in the heterosexual community, all of which have been with us for a whole lot longer.

...And there's the one thing that even non "degenerates" have to worry about, and the gays don't have to worry about at all, a condition that's likely going to have effects for your entire life and possibly hundreds or even thousands of people beyond you, even after you're dead, and it's the most common outcome... Namely: pregnancy.

I mean, trust me, I'm old enough to know this, being stuck on AZT for the rest of your life is a hell of a lot less problematic than a child (or indeed, half of those other diseases, for that matter - none of which we talk about quarantining folks for).

AIDS is just way overrated.

You literally think killing off a productive, tax-paying, economy-contributing part of society is better than simply giving cheap ass medication to people who need it and teaching the healthy how to prevent infection, the cheapest measure of all. We're talking about a virus for which we already have reasonably effective treatment that allows people to lead normal lives, and preventing new infections is easy. There's absolutely no reason to waste time and money killing off or casting away perfectly good people. God damn what did they do to you when you were a kid that made you THIS fucking stupid? Did they rape you in the mindhole? Scramble up your brain matter? There's no explanation for this idiocy. It's so fucking tiresome. You're "pretty sure" huh? Yeah I'm "pretty sure" you're a retard.

Actually, the AIDS infection rates have been go no where but down, except in nations that have made condoms illegal - largely because the US started violating its constitution, giving religious charities in Africa cash directly, and they in turn became so powerful as to have political dominance, and started making such demands under threat of removing their support. Thus, in many of those nations, condoms are either extremely expensive, or outright illegal to sell.

Not that AIDS isn't a disease blown out of all proportion. It makes up about 2% of the world's STD related deaths. (Considerably less than that, if you add in deaths related to complications from pregnancy.)

That depends entirely on how we define "moral," and as such is merely a means of begging the question against moral systems counter to your own, again, because of your feefees. None of what you're asserting here is anywhere near rigorous.
>>8954587
"Best practices" in healthcare and scientific research are pragmatic and utilitarian, mate. You need certain things like public trust in the system, its professionals, and its ability to produce quality results, patient compliance, etc., for the system to function properly in the first place.
Do you really think professors don't let you cheat on exams because of their feelings? It's because, should the reputation that school X's Y department tolerates cheating spread, all degrees from that school become suspect and worth less, to the detriment of every graduate of X, the school's interests, the department itself, and to a lesser extent every college graduate if enough places do it for it to seem unconstrained to one school but a fact of higher education in general.
Similarly, as people have mentioned, revealing personal information undermines patient trust and goes against their autonomy and best interests/wishes, and as a result, would undermine public/patient trust in the system and patient compliance, leading to inefficiency. Have you ever stopped to consider why scientists, the most dispassionate, objective, autistic demographic around, have chosen to structure their activity around a code of ethics? Hint: it's not emotion.

I'm surprised nobody addressed this but assuming you could get everyone to agree to this it would still not be enough.

To get rid of AIDS completely you would not only have to isolate all said patients but also destroy several species of primates and ban the practice of bush meat entirely to the harshest degree.

The chance of that happening to any given person is astronomically low. Even if that does happen to you, the risk of persistent HIV infection is also low. If you're not retarded, you'll get help and receive full antiretroviral prophylaxis which has > 90% chance of completely curing you.

BTW the former president of the United States disagrees with that statement:

>>8956527
Oral sex only matters if you have open wounds in your oral cavity. This could facillitate infection.

Are you so dumb you cannot connect the dots? Why women are at higher risk than men? Why anal sex is riskier than vaginal? Why oral sex just isn't a concern when compared to wounds, especially the self-inflicted contaminated needle puncture kind? Why doctors remain remarkably HIV-free despite accidentally stabbing themselves with bloody HIV+ needles all the god damn fucking time?

Not exactly rocket science we're dealing with here. I know /sci/ has a million chips on its collective shoulder when it comes to biology but this is just sad.

>>8957378
Because anal sex is more traumatic. Penetration has a higher chance of tearing the anorectal mucosa than the vaginal mucosa. Tears are wounds, entry points for microorganisms such as HIV. Also explains why men are in less danger and why stabbing yourself with used needles isn't such a smart idea.

Another factor that's at play here is the actual amount of HIV that gets inoculated. Condoms aren't completely impermeable to the virus, but the concentration of HIV people are exposed to is so low that the body can deal with it. If it's low enough even getting stabbed with a needle isn't going to give you AIDS

HIV evolved from a similar monkey virus SIV and crossed the species barrier in at least three occasions. Humans can catch SIV but it is a weaker virus when compared to HIV.
