Free Love Lives!

by Carol Stamp Sunday, Apr. 27, 2003 at 10:51 PM

"I challenge [doctors] to come up with the names, even one will do, of the persons documented to have shown that AIDS or HIV is sexually transmitted. I know of no such study."


Is There Evidence AIDS is Sexually Transmitted?

According to Dr. David Rasnick, the facts don't support the hypothesis. Check out his letter from the British Medical Journal
online:

Sex Has Nothing to Do With AIDS

David Rasnick, Visiting Scientist, UC Berkeley
rasnick@mindspring.com
January 20, 2003

I challenge [doctors] to come up with the names, even one will do, of the persons documented to have shown that AIDS or
HIV is sexually transmitted. I know of no such study.

In fact, the scientific, medical literature is full of evidence that neither AIDS nor HIV is sexually transmitted. It is only
assumed that they are.

The results of the world's best scientific study that attempted to measure the efficiency of heterosexual transmission of
antibodies to HIV was conducted by Nancy Padian and her colleagues (Padian NS, et al. 1997:
Heterosexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus in northern California: results from a ten-year study. Am J
Epidemiol 146: 350-7).

The most striking result of the ten-year study is that Padian et al. did not observe any HIV-negative sex partners becoming
HIV-positive from years of
unprotected sexual intercourse with their HIV-positive partners. I repeat?NOT ONE HIV-negative sex partner became positive
during the 10- year study. Therefore, the observed transmission efficiency was ZERO.

However, to avoid reporting a zero efficiency for the sexual transmission of HIV, Padian and colleagues assumed that the
HIV-positive sex partners in their study must have become positive through sexual intercourse before
entering the study. Using that assumption, they estimated that an HIV-negative woman would have to have sexual intercourse
1,000 times with HIV-positive men before becoming HIV-positive herself. Even more astounding,
HIV-negative men would have to have 8000 sexual contacts before becoming HIV-positive.

Virtually identical figures have been reported by others (Gisselquist, D., et al., HIV infections in sub- Saharan Africa not
explained by sexual or vertical transmission. Int J STD AIDS, 2002. 13: p. 657-666; Jacquez, J.A.,
et al., Role of the primary infection in epidemics of HIV infection in gay cohorts. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr, 1994. 7: p.
1169-1184).

Given these figures and that the US Centers for Disease Control estimates that one million Americans have antibodies to HIV
raises an enormous problem for sexually transmitted HIV. Since there are around 280 million men and women in the USA,
that means that on average an HIV-negative woman would have to have random sexual intercourse 140,000 times?and a man
eight times
that number?in order to become HIV-positive (assuming equal distribution of HIV between the sexes).

Below are additional examples in the literature that neither AIDS nor HIV is sexually transmitted.

- None of the husbands of HIV positive women became antibody positive to HIV over a three-year period. (Lancet ii: 581
(1985), Stewart et al.}

- No transmission of HIV was observed between couples in which all of the women were HIV positive and in which at least
100 sexual contacts occurred. (JAMA 259: 3037 (1988), Padian et al.)

- After a mean of 3-1/2 years of unprotected intercourse, with an average of 50 sexual encounters per year, only one
hemophiliac wife became HIV positive. (American Journal of Medicine 85: 472 (1988), Kim et al.)

- No transmission of T-cell abnormalities from hemophiliacs with AIDS to their spouses. (JAMA 251: 1450 (1984), Kreiss et
al.)

- "The number of American and European heterosexuals who have had sexual relations with a prostitute, who have no other
admitted risk factors (such as drug abuse), and who have subsequently developed antibody to HIV can be
counted on the fingers of one hand. Sex with a prostitute is not even listed as a risk category by the American CDC."
(Rethinking AIDS, Root-Bernstein, 1993)

- "Non-drug abusing prostitutes have no higher risk of AIDS than other women." (AIDS: the second decade, report from the
National Academy of Sciences USA, 1990)

The same is true for prostitutes in Germany, Zurich, Vienna, London, Paris, Pardenone (Italy), and Athens. (Klinische
Wochenschrift 65: 287 (1987), Luthy et al.; Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift 98: 697 (1986), Kopp &
Dangl-Erlach; Lancet ii: 1424 (1985), Brenky-Fandeux & Fribourg-Blanc; British Medical Journal 297: 1585 (1988), Day et
al.; Scand J Infect Dis 21: 353 (1988), Hyams et al.)

Sex And HIV: Behaviour-Change Trial Shows No Link

by Paul King Sunday, Apr. 27, 2003 at 10:57 PM

GREAT POST. THIS NEW STUDY CONFIRMS YOUR POINT.


Sex And HIV: Behaviour-Change Trial Shows No Link
The East African (Nairobi)
March 17, 2003
Posted to the web March 19, 2003
By Paul Redfern, Special Correspondent
Nairobi

A UK funded trial aimed at reducing the spread of Aids in Uganda by
modifying sexual behaviour appears to have had little discernible
effect.

The trial, carried out on around 15,000 people in the Masaka region,
involved distributing condoms, treating around 12,000 victims of
sexually transmitted diseases and counselling.

However, while the trial led to a marked change in sexual behavioural
patterns, with the proportion reporting causal sexual partners falling
from around 35 per cent to 15 per cent, there was no noticeable fall
in the number of new cases of HIV infection, although there was a
significant reduction in sexually transmitted diseases such as
syphilis and gonorrhoea.

The trial results, which were reported in the British medical journal
The Lancet, have already aroused some controversy.

The team leader of the trial, Dr Anatoli Kamalai, acknowledged that
there was "no measurable reduction" in HIV incidence with "no hint of
even a small effect."

But the research team's view is that the spread of HIV was already
declining in the area and the trial might not have been big enough to
detect any additional change.

There is, however, another view which has recently been put forward
which claims that inadequately sterilised needles across Africa have
led to a greater rate of HIV infection than sexual contact.

It is a view put forward by a mainly American group of scientists,
including Dr David Gisselquist, who told the Times of London that
"Results from the Masaka study add to the already long list of
findings from other studies that don't fit the hypothesis that most
HIV in African adults is from sexual transmission.

"These results from Masaka are similar to results published earlier
from a similar study in Rakai, Uganda, where interventions that
reduced STD prevalence had no impact on HIV incidence." However, such
a view is by no means mainstream in the latest thinking on the spread
of HIV in Africa.

Most scientific research still believes that HIV is mainly spread by
sexual transmission and that people suffering from STDs are
particularly prone.

The trial was the first systematic attempt on a large scale to assess
whether modifying sexual behaviour and better management of other
sexual diseases could cut the transmission of HIV in Africa.

In a commentary in The Lancet, Judith Stephenson and Frances Cowan of
the Royal Free and University College Medical School in London
acknowledged that "many people will be disappointed by the lack of
reduction in HIV incidence, despite an apparently appropriate
intervention that reduced other STDs and was implemented on a huge
scale with great care and commitment."

The two researchers suggest that it might have been "the right trial
and the wrong time" - when HIV incidence was falling and when there
were already substantial reductions in risk behaviour.

Great info

by Flashdancer Sunday, Apr. 27, 2003 at 11:34 PM

The Minister of Health in South Africa called 'AID$' the American Invention to Discourage Sex.

What a great way to turn the clock back to the repressed days of the Fifties. Fear rules O.K.

Haven't enough people died

by JJ Walker Monday, Apr. 28, 2003 at 12:50 AM

as a result of the Left's ideologies?

In the early 1980's, the left opposed all efforts to impose common sense public health measures to prevent the spread of AIDS -- all in the name of gay rights.

As a result, untold thousands of people died.

Not content with that level of blood shed, the left now seeks to ensure the death of millions more.

BTW, no one ever said AIDS is ONLY transmitted through sexual contact. In Africa, only 40% of blood is screened for AIDs, and medical sterilization is virtually unheard of in most of the continent.

There are other diseases that are undisputably sexually transmitted.

If you care about her, if you care about yourself...wear a condom.

Wear a condom ....why?

by Susan Monday, Apr. 28, 2003 at 11:39 AM


THE SPERM VS. THE AIDS VIRUS

A paper in the February 1992 issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology reports that filtration techniques show the
HIV-1 virus to
be 0.1 micron (4 millionths of an inch) in diameter. It is three times smaller than the herpes virus, 60 times smaller than the
syphilis
spirochete, and 50 to 450 times smaller than sperm. (8)

THE FLAWED CONDOM

Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers, using powerful electron microscopes, have found that new latex, from which
condoms are
fabricated, contains "maximum inherent flaw[s]" (that is, holes) 70 microns in diameter. (9)

These holes are 700 times larger than the HIV-1 virus. There are pores in latex, and some of the pores are large enough to
pass sperm-sized
particles. Carey, et al., observed leakage of HIV-sized particles through 33%+ of the latex condoms tested. In addition, as
Gordon points
out in his review, the testing procedures for condoms are less than desirable. United States condom manufacturers are allowed
0.4% leaky
condoms (AQL). Gordon states, "The fluctuations in sampling permits many batches not meeting AQL to be sold." In the
United States,
12% of domestic and 21% of imported batches of condoms have failed to meet the 0.4% AQL. (10)

CONDOMS FAIL TESTING

In a 1988 study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, Bruce Voeller of the Mariposa Foundation in Topanga,
California, a
non-profit organization dedicated to preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, ranked 31 brands of latex
condoms according to
how well they met the U.S. and international quality assurance standards designed to ensure that condoms provide an effective
barrier
against human sperm.

"Many of the condoms now on the market would not get FDA approval if they were required to meet today’s standards," says
Voeller.
Although all condoms sold in the U.S.are supposed to pass quality assurance tests, those marketed before 1976 need not meet
the more
stringent requirements necessary to win FDA marketing approval. (11)

Dr. Collart reports that "Gotszche and Hording in their study of in vivo [real life] condom failure rates concluded ‘Condoms
to prevent
HIV transmission do not imply truly safe sex.’ In addition Steiner, et al., observed newer lots of condoms had actual breakage
rates of
3.5-8.8%, while actual breakage rates for older lots ranged from 9.8-18.6%. In a study conducted by Ahmed, et al., 29%-42%
of those who
had used condoms experienced at least one breakage. In a survey conducted by the University of Manchester, 52% of those
who had
obtained condoms from their family planning clinic had one or more either burst or slip off in the 3 months before the survey.
In studies by Albert, et al., and by Wright, et al., 36% and 38% of their respondents reported condom failures respectively."
(12)


PANACEA OR PLACEBO?

In conclusion, Herbert Ratner, M.D., offers the best summary of all when he says,

Actually, the major accomplishment of the condom campaign to prevent AIDS is to impress the promoters, politicians and the
public at large that something is being done; and although well-intentioned, it offers more of a placebo than a panacea.

Publicizing the condom to the four winds is, for the most part, the bravura of a puritan who is trying to prove to the world
that he is not a puritan. To concentrate on the mechanical aspects of the sex act to the exclusion of the emotional and
psychological aspects (which the condom campaign ignores) is the essence of Puritanism. The only difference between the
new and the old is that whereas the traditional puritans were alleged to believe that sex was something to be isolated and
repressed, neo-puritans accept sex as something to be isolated and exercised. (28)

Quacks

by Aletta Lohmeyer Monday, Apr. 28, 2003 at 12:08 PM

Can you really dismiss JAMA, The American Academy of Sciences and The British Journal of Medicine as 'quacks'.

I have been following this debate for the past few years and it seems to me that study after study casts doubt on the hypothesis that HIV/AIDS is sexually transmitted. The media never reports these studies and the CDC suppresses them (not my words but those of the Wall Street Journal).

Clearly killing the sexual revolution was a prime objective of Conservative America and 'AIDS' did the trick.


Yes. Free Love does Live in the hearth and minds of the free.

AIDS is Rascism

by Paul King Monday, Apr. 28, 2003 at 2:13 PM

The AIDS myth says that 'those nasty over sexed Black people are dying of their sexual excess not poverty and malnutrition'. The fact that the mortality rate in SA today (non natural causes) is at exactly the same 2.2$ PA rate it was in 1983 (before AIDS) is ignored. Either every other disease vanished overnight of AIDS is simply old diseases given a new name and lumped together.

AIDS is a rascist crime against humanity and a vast money making scam.

You sir are a fucking idiot. And you KNOW this.

This is without a doubt, the single most ridiculous piece of nonsense to come down the pike of a forum dedicated to all things inane. Congratulations, those of you buying into this are the kings of idiocy.
All hail!

And btw, I will not even go into refuting the stunningly obvious drivel that is this particular conspiracy theory. It's original hypothesis has reduced the entire discussion to absurdity.

What a bunch of fools!!!

You are so right. I must admit this list below reads like a bunch of fools if ever a saw one. Two of these absurd idiots even were awarded the Nobel Prize for their stupidity. As an authority and expert on AIDS I am sure everyone will take your opinion as proof that a wonder virus that breaks Koch's Postulate, The Pasteur Institute Classic Rules of Isolation and Farr's Law is infact solid science.

Great argument

by Paul King Monday, Apr. 28, 2003 at 8:13 PM

Let's ignore the fact that the Mariposa Institute Study, Jones and Forrest, Pysicians Consortium, and five other major studies ALL showed they are useless, and continue the myth that toxic condoms are a great idea.

Who cares that anal cancer in gay men has increased 2800%. Who cares that 17,000,000 Americans now suffer from latex allergies. Who cares that healthy young men like Lt. Hal Henderson have died of latex reactions?

Lets carry on blindly ignoring every study and every mortality.
