Why do some posters feel the need to verbally abuse every poster with which they disagree?

Is the last sentence necessary? Where did I ever say I wanted to give HIV a try? My point is that you just dismiss the poster regardless too!

How can you possibly dabble with AIDS? It would be HIV. It takes years to develop AIDS. Again, more rubbish points. If I was right wring, I wonder what you would think of me.

I agree. It's absolutely crap argument point to resort to basically calling them a 'know it all'. Sign of defeat if you ask me.

That's a very good point, looking at his 'disguise', it isn't as realistic looking as the other two. Suffice to say, should be good Best moment in all the films is the winding up of the feminists in Borat :')

I wonder whether it will be totally scripted like Ali G, or partially scripted and relying on members of the public like Borat and Bruno. I think the latter suits his comedy style better. I am looking forward to it though. Borat and Bruno were brilliant.

Because that is what I meant. I think I give up.

In my relationship, it's just one aspect. It is not the be all and end all though. As I have said, it's up to the 2 people to weigh up what they want. At worst, you can give it a try at least or you will never know if it would work or not.

Where does it say that they can not speak English as a second language too?

I have never claimed to be knowledgeable on anything. I merely give my opinion when a discussion topic is put up.

I never said it was an acceptable level of risk. That is up to the parents. With new IVF coming through, if you read my post, I mentioned the new research... they can screen sperm, so if it is the man who has it, the chance of transmission is 0. Obviously, with mother to child, that isn't much hope, but as I said again interesting research in surrogacy stuff as well. Hopefully, soon they will find a cure too. Again, it is not the be all and end all, at the end of the day it is up to the OP to consider what is important to him and how much he loves the girl. But the risk is up to the two individuals. I would not have unprotected sex with someone who has any STI.

I hope I am never in that situation, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. If it were that I would end up in a similar situation, I would hope to go with the sentiments I expressed along with others already. Of course, no-one really knows how they will react in situations until you are in one. I would hope I would be better than to react as some have on this thread to what is a terrible illness. Edit: and I don't like the phrasing of your original question at all

They can not really have unprotected sex though, can they?

I deliberately didn't answer you, TDD.

The multiculturalism you seem to like is liberal multiculturalism then... private flourishing, but public central core values that all must be encouraged to have. Tolerance and even celebration of different cultural practices, except those that are illiberal like sharia law obviously is. I find it hard to reconcile myself with large parts of multiculturalism due to its love of positive discrimination as I rather think it creates as Brian Barry nicely put it 'two groups of people with unequal rights' which I don't like at all(treats the symptoms of racial hatred, not the causes). Tommy Robinson is a very unpleasant and racist individual and he helps absolutely nothing.

They have a huge online readership though - 39 million readers a month, second only to the Mail. And online is the future.

It would be an awful awful situation and hopefully one I don't ever have to face and I don't wish it on anyone. But at the same time I don't see why a woman who was raped and subsequently infected with HIV should have to live a life of separation. If the two people love each other, they can find a way for it to work. If they decide they want children, they can obviously IVF and take the risk, but if that is not for them, and I understand why it wouldn't be for reasons you have expressed... of course there is adoption too, but that's getting ahead of ourselves(there is interesting research into surrogacy with screening for HIV+ people as well, but anyways) The overall message I am trying to get across here is that it is up to them whether they feel comfortable with it. It doesn't have to be a problem, unprotected sex isn't the be all and end all of a relationship. If they feel comfortable and happy with it, then they should go for it.

So what does it tell us about Tommy Robinson's points if when questioned he falls to pieces? The simple fact of the matter is that people like him incite racial hatred and violence and we should just tear them to shreds until they have no validity left. The same for extremists of all kind. It seems that this probably happened last night, though I didn't catch the programme. I'm just going on what people said here.

There are other ways to get pregnant than sex these days. As I said, it depends on what is important to you. And as mentioned already mother to child transmission can be lowered to 1 or 2 percent. It is up to the person really whether they can cope and what they want from their relationship.

I don't know enough about them to comment, so I won't try.

They are all as bad as each other. Extremism in all forms is generally wrong, and also misguided, not to mention morally dubious and that is putting it kindly. The problem about extremism is that it tries to place everything within one narrow minded mantra, and life just isn't that simple.

I was merely making the point that it doesn't have to be an issue unless you make it so. If you like the person, it shouldn't matter as long as you are careful not to have unprotected sex. HIV medicine is advancing fast too, so life expectancy is up massively in countries like the UK and a cure will be with us in a generation apparently.

Some pretty disgusting replies on this thread too.

You can catch HIV from most sexual contact, but the transmission rates are lower than people imagine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV#Transmission For example in straight male-female unprotected sex, it's 0.05% chance of transmission. So with the right protection, there is little chance of transmission. Not that that is important if she means a lot to you, go for it. Relationships should mean a lot more than sex.

Oh yes, the Occupy movement turned into a disaster of organisation and got distracted. In the UK, for example in fighting the Church rather than the city.
