Dear MPs,
Please do some soul searching after reading this and tell me if you feel
comfortable to make the lifestyle which has brought this curse to society,
appear acceptable; if indoctrinating of your children/grandchildren in
schools across Canada, so as to consider the alternative, is what you want
to do.
I will ask you:
What would you say to a young member of your family, years down the road,
when he/she get full blown AIDS from a resistant strain and ask you: Dad/
Mom Grandpa/ma why did you contribute to the spread of this horrible
disease? You could have stopped it!
I can see the potential of lawsuits against the government, the likes of
which, might make the tainted blood look like child's play!
Sincerely,
Joseph A. Gamero

New strain of HIV alarms scientists

NEW YORK - For the first time, doctors have diagnosed a form of HIV that New York City health officials say has two striking characteristics: It is highly resistant to antiviral drugs in a patient who had never been treated with the medications, and it quickly developed into full-blown AIDS.
The infection defied the typical HIV-to-AIDS profile by apparently developing into AIDS in a matter of months, officials said.
"This case is a wake-up call," said New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden. He said the strain is one that "is difficult or impossible to treat and which appears to progress rapidly to AIDS."
Dr. David Ho, director of Manhattan's Diamond AIDS Research Center, where the patient was diagnosed with HIV in December, said the combination of drug-resistant infection and "his rapid clinical and immunological deterioration is alarming."
The virus was found in a New York City man in his mid-40s who engaged in unprotected sex with other men on multiple occasions.
