Reduce HIV infection by 1,000x by using specific lubricants:

Personal Lubricants may Reduce HIV Transmission

July 23, 2001 (Ivanhoe Newswire) — A new study shows over-the-counter personal lubricants may help combat HIV transmission by inhibiting its production by more than 1,000-fold.

Researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston mixed sexual lubricants such as Astroglide, Silken Secret and Vagisil with HIV-infected seminal fluid and found it cut virus production by more than 1,000-fold. When layered on top of the virus cells, the substances cut production by more than 30 times. Components of the lubricants also deactivated a significant number of infected cells within five minutes, which is short of the 30 minutes necessary for the sexual transmission of the virus.

Although the study shows personal lubricants may reduce the transmission of HIV under circumstances in which condoms are rarely used, researchers stress condoms remain the most effective barrier against acquiring AIDS during sexual intercourse.

Samuel Baron, microbiologist and one of the study's researchers, warns, "No one should use these substances assuming that they will protect you from contracting HIV and from eventually getting AIDS until we have evidence from field trials answering that question."

Previous research has shown over-the-counter spermicide nonoxynol-9 can kill infected white blood cells but may also increase transmission by irritating the mucous membranes of the vagina and rectum. Such irritation could cause lesions that offer the AIDS virus an entrance into the body. The Texas researchers used lubricants that killed infected cells without irritating the tissues.

Seriously, I just heard today on the local news that Richard Duke of the University of Colorado has made a major discovery that could result in an AIDS vaccine by early next year. Apparently yeast injections cause the creation of T-cells that attack and destroy the HIV virus cells. Anybody else hear about this?

I can see the headlines now: Yeast gives rise to AIDS cure!

A Richard Duke could make some serious bread out of this discovery kind of guy,

There are several HIV vaccines in the works. There are web sites (medical) that discuss them and some are in clinical trials.

Does this mean that if the chica has a yeast infection a BB ride is OK?

No, but it does mean she'll end up with more BREAD after the session and she'll be more likely to LOAF around.

A Prefers rolls (in the hay) kind of guy,

Ootie,

You'd enjoy being a headline writer, wouldn't you? Too bad there's no money in that.

Hey, wanna be partners in a McVaccine franchise?

AIDS prevention

Along with abstinence, condoms, and pharmaceuticals, there is always the possibity that avoiding chronic, prolonged insults to one's body could help a little.

For example (perhaps): combining medical drug abuse, with recreational drug abuse, with not sleeping much, with inadequate diet, with ejaculating excessively, with having unattended periodontal disease... would be quite an insult short term, let alone over a long period.

In fact, if we add taking it up the ass five times a day, we almost have your typical 70's and 80's homosexual destroying his own immunity.

Any homosexual who can still take it up the ass five times a day by the time they reach their 70's or 80's, I say more power to 'em.

Absolutely.

Make that:
Absolutely!

I don't think too many want this stuff, but I think it fits under "Men's Health" and is potentially enlightening and maybe even ultimately useful.

This may be useful in considering things to come. The subject is conflict of interest in advising Government agencies about the safety of vaccines...
