medical certificate - HIV positive
A lot of people are attacking me in this thread and it mostly just reveals their white privilege. Native Americans were nearly wiped out because of deadly, contagious diseases that the white man brought from the Old World. Unsurprisingly then, we take the topic of deadly and contagious diseases like HIV/AIDs quite seriously. I no longer think that quarantining HIV/AIDs patients is the most appropriate measure to take although I will happily defend the Cuban approach to the HIV/AIDs crisis. Once again, it was sneering white liberals who raised hell about the so called human rights violations of the Cuban government because they were so wicked as to quarantine people who were infected with HIV/AIDs in the 1980's. Nobody can argue with the statistics. Cuba has the lowest incidence of HIV/AIDs in the western hemisphere and one of the lowest rates in the world. The Cuban government relaxed a bit in the 90's and now they only force newly infected patients to live in a sanatorium for a few weeks and to learn how to properly take their medicine and how to prevent spreading HIV/AIDs.

Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.

From the very same page:
(...) If people with HIV take ART as prescribed, their viral load (amount of HIV in their blood) can become undetectable. If it stays undetectable, they can live long, healthy lives and have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to an HIV-negative partner through sex. (...)
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/tyler-cu ... 32221.html
From the above:
For those who are still unsure, an HIV-positive person can achieve undetectable levels after undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART). A level of a person’s HIV viral load is what causes them to be more or less likely to transmit the disease. An undetectable viral load reduces the likelihood of transmission by 96 percent. Once a person achieves an undetectable status, it is possible to remain at this level provided that the person is compliant with their ART medication.
To be honest there is still a lot of discussion about who is and who isn't infectious. Some scientists agree with the above and some say there is 0 chance of spreading the disease. Even in people with undetectable levels, and on ART, there can still be "Virus Spikes" in the body without any warning. This means going from possibly a 0% chance to some chance. Everyone makes their own choices.

Again nonsense! Hopefully you don’t work for an NGO, training other nurses.
From where and how did you get your numbers? (Conduction medical tests maybe, a patient under ART treatment, having 100 times unprotected sex? That would give you 4 new infections?)
It is correct:
If you undergo antiretroviral therapy (in my case one tablet per day/US$ 200 per month), the “Virus Spikes" (as Johnsell50 calls them, but these are not spikes like from mushrooms!) remain in your body. HIV has no sterilizing cure yet, as we all know. There has been only one patient declared cured through bone marrow transplant so far!
The virus remains latent or dormant in Memory T cells. These cells, or reservoirs, can be found in your brain, lymph nodes, medulla, etc. – but not in your body fluid like sperm, sweat or similar.
Only if one would stop taking his antiretroviral drugs, the latent virus could re-produce itself.
These medications are the same which are now widely used and recognized as vaccination (PREP) against HIV.
I am not denying here: You must use condoms!
And I don’t care what people and cowboys saying, but I can’t stand if someone, calling himself a nurse, gets the facts wrong!

How about the CDC and other pertinent medical sources. And yes, a nurse for 30 years. Please read the articles above, look at their sources and then make your claims. Again, there is no hate here, only the facts, and I think the CDC has an idea what they are talking about.

I was trying to stay out of this cluster-fuck of a topic, then I found this amusing meme on Facebook:

Why are you posting a HH Hoppe meme? How is that relevant to the thread? I usually see this meme in discussions about the Allende government.Alexandra wrote:
