Misanthrope writes to tell us that Swiss scientists are claiming that with proper treatment HIV patients can be made non-infectious. "The statement's headline statement says that 'after review of the medical literature and extensive discussion,' the Swiss Federal Commission for HIV / AIDS resolves that, 'An HIV-infected person on antiretroviral therapy with completely suppressed viraemia ("effective ART") is not sexually infectious, i.e. cannot transmit HIV through sexual contact.'"

I have HIV and I haven't used a condom in several years with dozens of sexual partners.

Nobodoy has called me back saying they have AIDS, so I must not be infectious.

Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg's "indirect" AIDS test.

"Hey Joe, do you know anyone who has AIDS? No? Cool... 'cause you know me."

HIV is a 100% mortality rate, it just takes a bit longer.

Scientists come up with a device to make HIV patients non-infections.
This scientific breakthrough will bring hope to millions of people infected with the virus.

Also, treating STDs would provide opportunity for conversion of high-risk behaviors into lower-risk behaviors, e.g. you're in the office anyway, why not have a little talk about safe sex while you're there?

So...what is it that you do in your office?
