we're sure taught a lot about HIV and AIDS. by eight grade, we've seen so many videos and guest lecturers, it's just like white noise to us. "yes you can get it the first time you have sex. no, you can't get it from toilette seats, drinking fountains, or everyday casual contact..."
did you know that if you come into contact with a risky situation, there is a seriese of shots you can get immediately thereafter that will nearly eliminate your chances of contracting the virus? i had no idea of this until my mom, a doctor, told me. this is appearantly a need health care professionals run into fron time to time from treating people--accidentally sticking themselves with a used syringe, etc. when it happens, they get these shots.
why don't we know about them? or was it just me? my thought is: these shots are terribly expensive, and if the knowledge were made widely available, the public would demand that they be administered without charge in an effort to control disease.

the "powers that be" probably calculate that hoardes of careless people would pour into health departments everyday to be vaccinated.

I didn't know that.
I knew that some people control the disease by taking a very expensive combination of drugs for the rest of their lives.
But I have never heard of a one time series of shots to prevent the disease.
My guess is that this treatment is still in the experimental stage and no one knows the long term affects over time.
It does sound like we are being deceived though.

If a person is clean with themselves, why should they have to worry about all these diseases in the first place. It is the whole, it is my body and I can do whatever I want with it, then want to yell they have aids and other std's. Since your Mom, a doctor told you this, then why worry about it, I am sure she can get you a shot when you need one. As for as all this suppose to be hidden information, I do not believe it.
