Now im fucking way to scared to have sex. This is nuts. A new form of aids in which cannot be cured by the same drugs that keep HIV patients in emission or whatevr.
CNN) -- Health officials in New York City are alarmed after a man infected with a highly drug-resistant strain of HIV progressed to full-blown AIDS within months of diagnosis.
That raises the possibility that a hard-to-treat variant of the virus could be spreading among gay and bisexual men who use the drug methamphetamine.
"This case is a striking reminder that the risk of getting infected with HIV has not gone away," said Dr. Jay Dobkin, director of the AIDS program at Columbia University.
"In fact, risky behavior may be even more dangerous now since there is a change of infection with a virus we may not be able to treat," Dobkin said in a press release from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
SUPER-AIDS STRAIN HITS CALIFORNIA
Authorities in San Diego have reportedly found another case of the drug-resistant "superstrain" of the AIDS virus that was recently discovered in a New York man.
The new patient's "HIV has a similar molecular makeup as the patient in New York City," San Diego County Health Commissioner Nancy Bowen told the San Diego Union Tribune.
The patient, whose name is not known, took a blind test last fall and tested positive. It's not known yet if the strain is an exact match, and authorities are trying to locate the person.
If the second case is confirmed, it would weaken arguments that have been floated claiming the New York case is an anomaly, perhaps related to the patient's genetic makeup or his use of the drug crystal methamphetamine
