The kid that sits in front of me in my biology class had it. He said he couldn't get out of bed for a week, that's how bad his body ached.

That's what I couldn't understand when the NHL announced on Tuesday that Ladislav Smid (Oilers) has it, but he played both Tuesday and Wednesday. Appears he contracted it two weeks earlier but never knew it. How do you not know you have the flu?

Either way, hope you're feeling better Zilla.

Maybe is he just a carrier somehow? That's really odd.

My brothers were still walking around, playing computer, watching TV, all the usual when I went home. Everybody else I know who has had it (which isn't that many people, really) said that it wasn't that bad. His case sounds eeeeviiiiil.

Actually I did know that! I thought that I had already said that here so I didn't bring it up again. My pulmonologist told me so.

For me, if I worry about where she has been, or who she has been with, I wont bother. I dont engage with indiscriminate sex, Im pretty choosy....besides, after like an hour of swapping spit, an hour of oral sex, isnt a condom a bit of a moot point by then?

But I do agree with the priorities of the country sometimes. I still feel it is a propagandized scare tactic by the government to promote health care. I never trusted the government agencies.

Respectfully, I disagree......Dont do any of it if you feel you are at risk.

Well considering I'm a 19-year-old woman, yeah, I'd say it's a risk to have sex without a condom...

HIV isn't transmitted through saliva. The possibility of it being transmitted through oral is unlikely. The possibility of it being transmitted through intercourse is high for the receiver; even more so for anal.

So no; the insinuation a condom would be an afterthought after foreplay is simply not factual. These facts about transmitting HIV don't change at any point in the mating ritual.....

So if you knew someone had Aids, would you be ok with french kissing? And why do doctors, nurses, or officers wear face shields if they are at risk of saliva spatting them in the eye or mouth? I'm not arguing, just asking. For me, I'm not taking chances and staying away, just like I practice with sexual situations..I dont go there if I have a concerned.

I said unlikely; not impossible. The fear of that chance of infection (even if remote) would influence my thinking; granted. The person could have an open wound, as could you/I. Not likely, but neither is it impossible.

Nurse's and Doctors deal with so many people that face shield's are often used - not just for HIV, but airborne pathogens such as hepatitis. Dealing with people who are immune deficient would also mean the facial protection is protecting the patients from potential infection.

The likelyhood of me getting into a car accident is probability speaking, unlikely; but I wear my seat belt, and would even if seat belts were not mandated.... It would stand to reason that driving habits being equal, the peson who drives the most has the greatest chances of incident.

I believe in erring on the side of precaution in both cases.
