I've heard horror stories and what not about people purposly spreading HIV to others. One story was about a woman who has HIV, sleeps with men, and then writes "welcome to the wonderful world of HIV" on their mirror with lipstick before she slips out the door. Has anyone else heard of this? Thanks.

I've heard stories like that too, but I don't know how true they are.
If someone were to do that I think they would do it for revenge on the person who gave it to them. It's pretty stupid though, because they really aren't getting revenge on that person, they are getting it on innocent people who did nothing to them.
This is why it's so important to know your partners STD status as well as your own before you jump into bed with them. There are some nasty diseases out there and even deadly ones, like HIV/AIDS.
Take care!

There was a case in Australia in 1996. In which a girl about 25 escaped from a Psychiatric hospital in Melbourne, called Laurundal.
She was HIV positive with AIDS which she got while prostituting herself in Perth, Western Australia.
When she escaped from Laurundal, she went back to Perth and starting prostituting again. Infecting men who she regarded as being guilty of giving her the disease. Any man would do.
After sex she would tell them.
She was arrested and returned to the Secure Locked ward at Laurundal.
She said the reason she did it was because they had condemed her to a long, lingering death. And were responsible for her getting the disease. So she wanted revenge by infecting men who may or may not have the disease.
After that I don't know what happened to her.
It was all over the news.

I've never heard that one, but I've heard others. Yeah sometimes it's real, some people have actually been criminally convicted for it, either being deliberate or negligent. That story sounds a little far-fetched, especially because there is no guarantee the guy would be infected after only having sex once with the infected girl. You could google though to see if it's on snopes or somewhere.
The moral of this story is....always use a condom, get long-term partners tested, and be very careful with one-night stands.

There was a story about a girl in Mexico that got HIV that way...a cunning cute HIV + guy tricked her durig a trip to Cancun...and gave her a note and a rat as a souvenir! It was real and quoted on a book by Cuautemoc Sanchez.
That happens because they are very resented and want to take with them as many people as they can. They dont forgive the person that spread HIV to them...nor themselves for having it.

Yes... While the "welcome to the words of aids" stated as an urban legend, people DO spread the disease knowingly. IMO, the ones who spread it unknowingly are JUST as guilty. The test costs $50, condoms are cheaper. TEST yourself regularly and expect to see test results from anyone you're considering having sex with.
I just lost someone very important to me earlier this month. He'd had HIV for 13 years, and was one of those people knowingly exposing others to the disease. I don't have hard, verifiable figures, but knowing him the way I did, there are in excess of 100 people in the Kansas City area who have had unprotected sex with him(there were at least 30 that I DO know of in the year I was with him)... How many people have THEY had sex with... and THIER partners...
It boils down to... Protect YOURSELF... test regularly... monogamy ISN'T 100% since you can only be sure YOU are monogamous and there is still the risk of nonsexual means of contracting the disease, use latex, and ask for and expect RECENT test results...
We have all do some CRAZY things for love... but dieing shouldn't be one of them.

Yes they do sweetheart. Do not trust any good looking young stud for a quick booty call. Those are the ones that are most likely infected. Some do it because they either got themselves that same way or because they had gotten hurt in a past relationship and cheated and got sick and are now out for revenge by infecting the whole female/male flock. So be careful what you do, who you do and most importantly just take care of yourself. Live life for life is too short for nonsense. Sex can always wait.

Yes, it's true. There are men and women who are out there spreading HIV deliberately. It's all part of not wanting to take responsibility for their own actions and the consequences, which is their infection of HIV. They blame the world so they go out and try to spread their misery. It's horrible.
So, people... Wrap it up.
Trust no one.
No glove, no love.

Here is a tip. You assume people will do the right thing and tell you if they got a problem before getting in on with you (provided they know they have the condition.) Guess what? People are so irresponsible that they will refuse or not mention their condition to those people that are about to give them what they want.
Assume the worst from people and you will not go wrong.

Never heard about it. But i heard that some HIV victims prick their selves with a pin and use this to prick to someone. The blood carries the virus and the wound is the easiest mean to transfuse it other than sex.

I remember reading that as well. I also read that a man was infecting women with HIV. He was arrested and brought to court and was founded guilty. Of course that happen a few years ago he and all of his victims are dead now. But its a serious crime to spread HIV.
