Would you want your child to get an HIV vaccine, assuming it is completly safe and it works 100%?

Question

Considering the response to the HPV vaccine, I was just curious about what people would say to this.

to untameable, it is a good point. Studies have actually shown that HIV is weaker in the US than in africa because infection rates are much lower and the person needs to live longer to infect somone else.(from the hiv point of view infecting more people is a good thing)

Answer 1

Yes. Anything can happen from getting exposed to infected needles or chosing a infected partner. Its better to be safe then sorry. And I would also get the HPV vaccine. Why are people so stubborn about such great medical results?

Answer 2

I don't think I like the sound of that. Here is why. They say that the Chicken Pox vaccine is completely safe as well. But, there have been a few cases reported where the child has become very ill from it and died.

I don't think that I would take my chances with an HIV vaccine. Considering how HIV is contracted, it is very unlikely that my children would contract this disease as children anyways. Being a rape survivor, I know all too well about testing of HIV, how it is contracted, and how long it can stay dormant in a persons body.

There are no 100% guarantees when it comes to vaccines. My son had all required MMR shots. He still got the mumps when he was 6. They found out that several children who received their shots withing that time period got the mumps because the vaccine was no good.

Answer 3

yes. I'd hope my children (or anyone else's) would enjoy what life has to offer.

I didn't realized there was an HPV backlash, but I'm not surprised. Just look at the "morning after" pill. It does the exact same thing as regular birth control pills, will not harm an already fertilized egg, and yet somehow gets labeled as another abortion pill. People in the U.S. have a problem with any thing that allows more sexual freedom. Hopefully this means that through Natural Selection they will so be extinct.

Answer 4

You do spend time reading the present education on vaccinations, do no longer you? Or do you merely take part the "fearmonger's keep"? i'm no longer using this to located you down, yet understand that information superhighway information superhighway websites are literally no longer dated. education you're reading may well be 10-15 years old and punctiliously old form. The preservative used in guy or woman vaccines isn't used in toddler's vaccines, working occasion. once you're demanding, evaluate an altered schedule which demands merely one injection for a bypass to. you may desire to do greater useful visits, even though it may nicely be plenty much less complicated to look after. interesting be huge unsleeping: I actual those days have been given right here throughout out that particular situations of continual colitis (an infection of the intestines) may well be brought about by using technique of rotovirus (a adolescence diarrhea ailment for which there is now a vaccine). it would desire to additionally be brought about by using technique of norovirus. Now, I had norovirus greater useful than a month in the previous and it nonetheless is inflicting issues for my intestines. I now help that vaccine besides now that I understand the destiny concern concerns that could take place to a pair.

Answer 5

The HPV vaccine does not work 100%.I would be in favor of a HIV vaccine that worked 100%.

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure I would. Why would you chance your children's life to a horrible disease when you can prevent it? This has nothing to do with sexual promiscuity to me. Your child could be raped by someone infected with HIV, or what if in the future they are married and their spouse commits adultery and gets infected with HIV? If your adult child has unprotected sex with their own spouse they could get infected, too, through no fault of their own, since they are married and having unprotected sex is acceptable and normal.

In this country we get vaccinated for other viruses like measles or the chicken pox, why should HIV be any different?

Answer 7

I know this sounds insane. We as a whole society and world are getting biologically weaker. We are coming out with vaccines to more and more things. Like getting Chicken pox when you are young is no big deal, very few kids die, or were permently hurt. But it does build up your immunity, they are better off to get chicken pox. With HIV it is a different story, that has a guaranteed chance of death. I think they should, if they develop one, vaccinate all kids.

Answer 8

Of course I would, why would I want to be at risk of HIV?! I already got the vaccine for HPV. I'm 15.

Answer 9

Of course.

What responses to the HPV vaccine? Don't believe everything the liberal media tries to tell you.

They quote part of what someone says and take it out of context. All that was said was that it shouldn't be used to condone indiscriminate sex (outside of marriage).

Answer 10

Of course I would. I'd also get one. I think just about everyone would want one. There would be people lined up, just like when the polio vaccine was first available.
