Christ. My source was a teacher I had in HIGH SCHOOL, who had various PhDs and doctorates and had studied HIV/AIDS and numerous other diseases in depth and in person. We did a whole unit on HIV/AIDS, if I REMEMBER correctly. Source after 4 years? You're lucky I even SAW your post, to reply at all!
| Ok, well, I officially call BS. The amount known about aids has grown exponentially in the past years, and I'm gonna say that you don't need an "air tight seal" nor do you need 5 minutes. Normally, I'd just let a thread like this die, but those are serious misunderstandings with potentially fatal consequences...

| | | Posted by Emma Peel You can't call BS on something stated in 2004. WTF? You said it yourself -- the amount known about AIDS has grown exponentially in the past years -- so I think the information you're calling BS on is a little dated. Should I let the medical profession that you're going to be calling BS on frontal lobotomies, as well? OMGZ NOES!
| Of course you can, the medical profession does so all the time. It doesn't mean you were intentionally misleading anyone, but the data is indeed worth less than even bovine manure. Probably less, as it could kill someone, and fecal material has potential positive uses in fertilizer. (Also your leetspeek suffers from excessive pluralizations, and it makes you look even less in touch with trends than you likely are, such as when someones mother says things like "word up, dawg, those some groovy kicks ya got there son, way hip.")

| Whatever, kid. The medical profession doesn't "call BS" on outdated information - advances are a given and nobody "calls BS." They also don't go around boards on Urban Exploration websites, looking for 4-year-old posts to specifically point out that the information contained in them is outdated. Especially when it comes to advances in medical technology and medical knowledge, in general, most people realize that 4-year-old information is going to be quite a bit outdated. If you happen to have any more personal attacks you'd like to throw my way, I suggest you begin PMing me and keep threads on-topic. Otherwise, I have far better things to do than sit here and feebly try to figure out which of us has a bigger stick. If by "leetspeak," you mean "use of correct grammar," then I'm guilty, as charged. Anything else, take it to PM. Consider this your warning. Edit: Actually, "calling BS" on the airtight seal thing is incorrect. I'm going to repeat what I said four years ago. Oxygen deactivates and eventually KILLS HIV/AIDS, therefore, you'd need an "airtight seal" in order to effectively transmit the disease. Unless, of course, the atmosphere on YOUR home planet is nitrogen-rich, instead of oxygen-rich. Here on Earth, we have an oxygen-rich atmosphere, which proves detrimental to viruses -- even HIV/AIDS.

| | | HIV has been transmitted via knife-wound. Which means that the blood was not sealed in some air-tight container, but only protected from gaseous oxygen (there is dissolved oxygen in all blood, so obviously not all oxygen will destroy it) by layers of blood over that. And then the contact, rather than lasting 4 or 6 minutes, lasted seconds. And no, but medical types already know this. Stupid kids do read these boards however, and they may make flawed decisions based on bad facts. Oh, and medical types do call BS on each other. Case in point: the spermicidal properties of coca-cola. They just released two studies one after another affirm and then denying the fact. Warning of what? You're going to ban me because I said you were uncool?
