What? The STD nurses generally don't recommend an HIV test unless you have been up to high risk stuff. There is no way "most people" or even most single people get an annual sexual health check up based on how few clinics there are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a position which everyone knows about just like CNN or MSNBC on the other side. For a balanced perspective you should watch contributors from both sides. Tucker is excellent, in my opinion. You cant be serious? Fox news is complete bat shit mental nonsense. They are not a boot in the baws away from Alex Jones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the people that implemented them would say it was about protecting public health. As I said, all to a degree of success. I don't buy that any of the Covid laws were about controling the population or stuff like that, I think it came from either shitting it that the health services would collapse or lots of folk would die. 11 minutes ago, Detournement said: What?

Wee bit off topic but its free to do why wouldn't you do it if you sleep around a bit not always with condoms. THT published this week that HIV infections in straight people have for the first time over taken homosexual and bisexual people. If you scale back the number of single people to those that are sexually active and doing more risky stuff without protection then maybe there are enough clinics. Most young people know their HIV status or that's my experience anyway. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet a fair amount of new cases in the UK are people from high risk countries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you out of your mind? Of course if we regularly test everyone for everything it would combat things, but it's not exactly practical is it? 13 minutes ago, 101 said: Most young people know their HIV status or that's my experience anyway.

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Got another letter about a booster today. They must be trying to catch up on people who didn't get one in December. Fortunately I don't have any friends and am a massive VL so I'm not going to get an HIV test every week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 There is a classic "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" going on here with some of these protestors.What your enemy’s enemy really is, a false friend. At the very best, your enemy’s enemy is a temporary ally — nothing more.My own experience of the far right is that they hijack what can seem a worthy cause but with their own insidious twist on the narrative.We've seen it before with issues as diverse as animal rights or the treatment of the Palestinians. The reality is that these b*****ds don't give a f**k about the cause they espouse, just using it as a means to further their racist agenda.That's not to say that such tactics are the sole preserve of the far right - there's a long history of Anarchist/Trotskyite front organisations tagging along to particular causes to further their agenda.Personally, I'd be careful who was I dealing with before getting involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely not fairly common to fire out with “do you have HIV?” in either casual conversation with your pals or when you’re about to get fired into someone.
