I have raised this question again simply because I feel there is a need to reinform people on this one.

I am a PhD scientist and I can tell you for certain that it has been proven that condoms do not prevent the contraction of HIV/AIDs. The virus is actually smaller than the latex barrier. I was so horrified when I learnt of this fact that I have been doing my best ever since to try and warn people that would otherwise not put their lives in danger if they realized this.

A study carried out at University of Miami Medical School which used live couples to test HIV transmission found "that 3 out of 10 women whose husbands are HIV positive and were always using a fresh condom for each intercourse, contracted AIDS Related Complexes (ARC) in an 18-month period". This translates into an infection rate of 11.2 per cent first year, 21 per cent in 2 years, 30 per cent in 3 years, 45 per cent in 5 years and 70 per cent in 10 years.

...made me think and worried.
I am a donor and I donated every organ and tissue after I die.
But the idea of having any part of my body transferred into a murderer or any kind of human monster scares the living daylight out of me.
Its very serious, I never thought of this before.
Is there any way to prevent this? Like if I contact NHS do you think its possible to make a statement of this sort to avoid it?

If a group of people were shown a specific color and then asked to select that color from a set of related colors, it is safe to assume that different people will select different colors. What does this tell us about our memory and recollection of our color experiences?

I've just finished taking Microgynon 30 and am awaiting my period. Next week I start a new pill, Loestrin 30. The thing is I will be due on next Xmas Eve. As I have awful periods when I was on Microgynon (heavy, painful, awful nausea, back pain, bowel problems etc) I'm worried how these new ones will affect me. I want to run 2 packs together so I'm not on over Xmas but have done this once in the past with Microynon and found my period worse than ever because of no break for 2 months. Has anyone ever taken 2 packs together on Loestrin 30? Any advice at all would be much appreciated, thanks

I made out with a guy a week ago but I just now remembered my lips were a bit chapped and I might have a canker sore (but was at the end of it)...should I worry about HIV?

I just got tested (negative) but am scared to wait 3 months despite all I've read about the small chances of this happening...

had lower back pain on & off with some pins & needles in buttocks & left leg.
Y/day I got out of the car & could barely move, i have pain under my bump & my bum is numb - spoke to the surgery & they will apply for s phsio appt but there is a waiting list - advised me to take co-codamol & paracetamol with a hot water bottle & plenty of rest (i have 2 children of school age)
Today I am in just as much pain, should I call them again or just suffer it out until i get this physio appt, dr thinks i may of slipped/pulled a disc in my back?

junk food is generally prohibited to eat.But what if its made healthy with the original junk taste? The question is HOW can it be done. Some examples of foodstuffs could exlain it better.

Ive always had bad headaches but they would be once or twice a month, they have gotten worse. lately i have them almost every other day, but right now ive had a headache for the past 2 days. ive seen a doc about them, dont an EEG and found nothing. ive even had to go to the ER cause they got really bad oneday, and they did and MRI and found nothing. I have an RX for Imitrex and it doesnt even help. Ive tried every thing and nothing helps. I dont even have to be stressed or tired or any thing to get them, they just happen. But im starting to get angry cause i get them so much now and they affect my daily life. I just got my eyes checked so no problem there. Im not at a computer very much, Im not around any thing loud either. So i really dont know what is causing them or what i can do to help them.

So can any one PLEASE help me? I really need the help and i dont know what kind of doctor to see, my normal doctor game me the imtrex and a nurologest did the EEG.

PLEASE HELP!!!

After eating a big meal, a lot of times I will get a severe pain in my solar plexus area that last for several hours, usually starting around 2 or 3 AM and am unable to sleep until it goes away which could be several hours later. I've tried all the acid reflux over the counter stuff like rolaids, tums, alka-seltzer. Even got prescription for prilosec, nexium, etc. None of that crap works. What's weird is, if I eat my first meal for the day and wait about 8-9 hours before eating my second and final meal for the day, I'm usually fine. It seems to have something to do with digestion, like my stomach needs to have fully digested a prior meal before taking in any more food. There was also a couple of times when I had the pain, then had a large bowel movement, and it cleared the pain. Anyone have similar problems or any solutions for my pain? When I'm in pain, it is unbearable. I just wish I could find a way to alleviate the pain when it comes.

My parents and I are thinking about bringing my grandmother to the U.S. but we are worried about health insurance. My grandmother is 87 years old and has many medical conditions so we need to get her something that would cover the medical expenses. She will be an immigrant because she doesn't have U.S. citizenship or green card, and she has never worked in this country. Since she is over 65 years old, she cannot get a health insurance, but I am hoping that she can get something that is similar to Medicare, Medi-Cal, or Medicaid. I know that Medicare is for people who is either a citizen or permanent resident and who has worked least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment. Is there anything that my grandmother could be eligible for medical health plan or insurance although she is an immigrant, over 65 years of age, and never worked in the U.S.? Any advice or suggestion would be much appreciated.
