Being monogamous with your wife/husband/partner has nothing to do with
your past.

Never said that it did.

You said one will not likely catch AIDS if one practices monogamy. This
would only hold true if both were virgins when getting married..,not
practical when applied to present reality, as the vast majority have a
sexual past history.

And the less promiscuous that past is, the less
likely that one will catch AIDS.

No one ever said differently. That statement still does nothing to
support or validate
your erred comment that now practicing monogamy will likely prevent one
from catching AIDS, as it discounts your past. You are unable to
distinguish between the differences.

Besides, you imply that it's next to impossible

or, at the very least, unrealistic for someone to
wait until marriage to engage in sexual

relations.

Yes, it is extremely unrealistic to expect the majority will suddenly
adhere to abstinence.

There is nothing honorable or otherwise

noteworthy about becoming sexually active in

your teenaged years,

No one said differently.Where do you get these things?

despite the image that

the major media outlets try to paint to those

overly impressionable teenagers.

Oh yea,,,,your tv watching,,...._

=A0There are instances where the HIV virus is semi-dormant for years and
years (10 to 15 year spans are on record) and then it suddenly
appears,,,the same can be said of AIDS..it's manageable in many cases
until,...poof,,it morphs to full blown AIDS.

Which means nothing if you've never been

exposed to it.

Please try and remain at least semi-relative to your comments.

Monogamous doesn't mean act like a slut

throughout your "formative" years and then

decide to "stay with one person at age 30.

That you consider a past sexual history equals "acting like a slut"
reveals several interesting facts of your beliefs regarding this topic.

Yes, it reveals that I don't believe that sex

should be engaged as a casual activity.

Again,, you are in left field positing yourself against comments only
you make. There was no intention to make comprehending difficult for
youslef, but you are doggedly determined.

Sex is a part of an act of love, to be shared

with someone who you have a much deeper

emotional bond with. Not something for two

people, who are barely friends, who are simply

looking to kill a few hours.

Man,,you have been losing more ground each day with your posts, Dave.
I'm glad it's almost summer up there. Cabin fever and that winter
depression sure took its toll this year on you.

The ONLY "cure" is found in
the prevention..in other words, abstaining from pre-marital sex then
both parties getting a thorough CBC (complete blood count) prior to
tying the knot.

Now you are finally seeing the light.

I've known this since 1980 when the disease was traced to a cave in
Africa and suspected of being contracted from bat guano (the initial
host.....believed by scholars) or a rhesus monkey. Google "The Hot Zone"
and the parallels are there for the reading. Better yet, read the book.
Now if only you could understand that monogamy today does not discount
one's past, as the majority of people have a sexual past history prior
to marriage and monogamy.

That's part of the problem.
=A0
=A0Your claim that monogamy decreases the chance of acquiring AIDS
assumes incorrectly these people had no sexual past history.

It's not an "all or nothing" proposition.

You're losing yourself again. Onec again, your rattle has nothing to
with my comment. Try again......-your- claim that monogamy decreases the
chance of acquiring AIDS assumes incorrectly these people had no sexual
past history.

While total abstinence before marriage is a

concept that's lost on this latest hedonistic

generation, the simple truth is that the less

partners you have had, the less your chances

of catching AIDS.

Again and over and over,, you are presenting an argument to which only
yourself appears to be unconvinced.

The type of partners you have had also affects
your chances. Frequent patronage of

prostitutes, for instance, greatly increases

your chances of getting the disease.

It would depend upon the act. For example, the chance of the
transmission of AIDS while a man receives oral sex from a woman is lower
than your chances of getting killed in an automobile accident.
_
The "clean" mark was originally 5 years, then 10, then 15,,,it's now
believed that 20 years is the "safe" mark regarding past sexual
activity..in other words, if you have been monogamous for 20 years with
your partner, and your partner has also been monogamous for that amount
of time, the likelihood of contracting the virus decreases
substantially, but is -still- not discounted totally.

Better that than hooking up with someone

who's rear end has seen more bedsheets than
underwear.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 20 year

wedding anniversary. So I guess we're safe ;-)

Only if you were both virgins when you married.

Congratulations!

I'd like to say the same regarding your beliefs of contracting this
disease, but I think your moral beliefs are heavily biasing and
preventing you from obtaining the facts regarding such.

The facts are quite simple. The less sex you

engage in, the lesser your chances of getting

AIDS.

Now try injecting reality into your equation. If it was as simple as you
present, the AIDS epidemic would not exist.

Those who contract the disease have only

themselves, by virtue of their activities, to

blame in most cases.

The same can be said of your wife if she or your daughter contract lung
cancer, asthma or pulmonary emboli related problems down the line
because of her smoking while she was pregnant. If you are going to hold
people to the flame for all their abhorrant behavior, you must begin in
your own backyard, lest you have no right to confront others and your
soap box is nothing more than a mirage.

I am quite certain that my risk of contracting

AIDS is less than my chances of getting hit by

a meteor.

Since no one can recall the last time one had been struck with a meteor,
that's a hell of a scholarly and meritous claim.

I am far more concerned with

cancer and heart disease as these pose a

much greater risk to the members of my

family.

Diseases that, in large part, can be blamed on your family members by
virtue of their poor choices and actions..smoking.
