Privacy Warning:  Please realize that these forums are open to all, and are fully searchable via Google and other search engines. If you are HIV positive and disclose this in our forums, then it is almost the same thing as telling the whole world (or at least the World Wide Web). If this concerns you, then do not use a username or avatar that are self-identifying in any way. We do not allow the deletion of anything you post in these forums, so think before you post.

  • All members of these forums are, by default, not considered to be licensed medical providers. If otherwise, users must clearly define themselves as such.

  • Forums members must behave at all times with respect and honesty. Posting guidelines, including time-out and banning policies, have been established by the moderators of these forums.

  • We ask all forums members to provide references for health/medical/scientific information they provide, when it is not a personal experience being discussed. Please provide hyperlinks with full URLs or full citations of published works not available via the Internet. Additionally, all forums members must post information which are true and correct to their knowledge.

That is a good point though. We HIV people don't have a monopoly on sloppy reporting...

I'm optimistic. Cycnicism isn't going to help me or my life.

What do you expect from a media that doesn't know the difference between HIV and AIDS. Every headline that comes out on HIV research almost always uses AIDS rather then the corrrect HIV.

Please to read the disclaimer on the POZ news page:

http://www.aidsmeds.com/articles/misleading_reports_1667_23916.shtml

I have great optimism for the future. I also think that a newly diagnosed person who breathlessly lurches from news article to news article looking for t "cure" instead of coming to terms with the illness s/he is likely to live with for a decade or more (perhaps a lifetime) is only postponing the process by which s/he will be able to handle the difficulties that surround the diagnosis and treatment of HIV.

That's not optimism, it's delusion.

Skepticism isn't cynicism.

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

I agree.
