AIDS

Now I'm not going to get too technical in this article, in order to break it down as simple as possible. So if you want to get in touch with me and have an intellectual conversation about HIV/AIDS you know how to reach me....I digress...All right. I've been working at an AIDS Research Center for some time now, and I've learned so much about the virus and of myself as a scientist. People always have their own perspective of how the virus came into this world and the possible conspiracy behind it. First, I would like to dispel that myth...THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT...I REPEAT...DID NOT CREATE HIV/AIDS VIRUS! Come on people. Who ever still believes that should know that to think that is plain ignorant. Just wanted to clear that up. Also, if people have questions don't hesitate to ask me. I will answer to the best of my ability. Conversing with other scientists and doctors that work with patients and conduct research on the virus, I have made up my mind that I would like to fight AIDS one-on-one! If that was possible I would do it, but the virus is such a pest. There are tons and tons of scientists, including myself, working very hard on a vaccine and other methods to stop the virus from spreading. The big debate that is starting to be discussed among scientists is whether or not a vaccine is EVEN possible at all!? Some believe it can be developed (optimistic scientists) while others think not (pessimistic in my opinion...lol...I always think positive). I'm beginning to believe it is very hard to actually design a vaccine due to the characteristics of the virus. When the virus is in a host and it is continuously copied it always changes! How can you design something against that!? I'm pretty sure a computer scientist can write up an algorithm or a java program to combat it, but let's be real...we're not machines. More scientists are beginning to focus on ways to stop it from spreading. For example, "creams" that women can massage around and inside their vagina to block the virus 100% from entering their body during vaginal intercourse--to be blunt and as elementary as possible. That's only one example and there is more to come.

The thing that perplexes me is how people continuously play Russian Roulette with their lives, from a sexual standpoint and not literally holding a gun of course. People really be "raw dawg" it (which is pretty much the slang description of not using a condom at all) with people they don't even know. Absolutely crazy. I'm gonna end on that. I know if a woman is gonna tell me, "you don't have to use a condom," I would tell her, "so long, we'll see each other some other time." So please "wrap it up", "wear a rain coat", or whatever you want to call it. Just be safe and stop this virus from spreading.

More to come soon...any questions?
