November 14, 200520 yr Erm... no. Hold your horses. If this guy carries on refusing tests then we'll most probably never know. Until another one comes along.

November 14, 200520 yr Deja vu? Why I get a feeling all the stories come through slashdot first? <_< Anyway this doesn't mean anything yet, I don't see the relevance of thread title.
November 14, 200520 yr I had always thought the drugs merely prolong life expectancy, augmenting the immune system as it degrades over time. As for 1/100000 europeans being immune to hiv, thats a new one if that was so they'd be the basis for acure.
November 14, 200520 yr Where do I applyfor immunity? Is it expensive? Just imagine: unlimitied loving in the name of Amor! ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum
November 14, 200520 yr As I saw on the BBC there are a number of anecdotal cases of persons, for example sexworkers, who appear to be immune to the virus. However, I am afraid that on balance I'd believe the hospital got the test result wrong in the first place. These things happen even in the best run places. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
November 14, 200520 yr ^ In a good lab, when a test is positive, usually there is a repeat test and maybe a third one, so the probability is extremely low.

November 14, 200520 yr Those loser infections don't bother me. ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum

November 14, 200520 yr HIV doesn't worry me as much as the number one killer disease in America... Wait, was that obesity or cancer? " There are doors
November 14, 200520 yr ^Actually, I believe it's heart disease. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just looked it up and apparently cancer has surpassed Heart Disease as the #1 killer of Americans. The worst part is that most cancers are preventalble. Article
November 14, 200520 yr Well, it mentions in the article that you link to that the rates of deaths for both cancer and heart disease are falling...just that heart disease is falling faster.
November 14, 200520 yr I don't know about cancer being preventable (unless lung etc from smoking). As people live longer there are more ways for the system to start failing. Spreading beauty with my katana.

These things happen even in the best run places. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are sex-workers in Africa that are exposed daily to HIV with seemingly no deleterious effects; also there have been a number of babies born to HIV positive mothers that have tested positive and then tested negative. All of these people are in serious long-term studies to help medicine understand the virus. I had understood that there OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
