is there a big rise of hiv infection from gay dating sites?

Question

gay dating sites easily allows guys to hook up ,
this is giving lot of infections like hiv.
Are these sites knowingly spreading hiv among men.

Answer 1

You can't contract HIV from a keyboard... or a website... or a toilet seat.

Answer 2

There are only two ways to contact HIV from another person:

Exchange of bodily fluid from an infected person (i.e. a guy with HIV c*ms inside you or the condom breaks) or through shared needles (which implies the person is probably a drug addict). A web site cannot knowingly spread HIV among men. You could throw ten men in a room and tell them all to go at each other, and if not one of them have HIV then everyone is going to walk away without contracting HIV.



My suggestion is you do some real research on HIV and how it's contracted/spread. The conditions within the body of the infected person and the person they would infect have to be just right in order for it to spread.

Answer 3

There are more straight people with HIV than there are gay men.

Perhaps its straight dating sites that are the problem, or maybe its the "bored and lonely house wife" sites that are where people get HIV from.

Taking the Alkyl Nitrite-AIDS Hypotheses One Step Further



I approached these studies with an unbiased mind, searching for both solid and faulty logic, and for strength and weakness in experimental design. I urge you to do the same as you follow me through this further analysis of the AIDS-alkyl nitrite hypotheses. First on the list is the hypothesis that alkyl nitrites suppress the immune system, thereby either encouraging the development of AIDS in HIV-positive individuals or increasing the likelihood that an individual will become infected with the AIDS virus in the first place.



How does the data either support or refute this hypothesis? The first thing that struck me in researching the numerous studies on this topic was that while some immune suppression was found, numerous factors have confounded these findings to the point where they cannot be considered scientifically valid. On first glance, a large number of studies seem to support the immune suppression hypothesis, but further study of the experimental design used in these studies, as well as other shortcomings reveal these claims are on very shaky ground. I began my analysis by looking more closely at a problem found in most of the studies I came across, that of proper dosing.



Not surprisingly, most of these studies are experiments where either mice or cells were exposed to varying concentrations of alkyl nitrites, through various means of delivery. The first question that popped into my mind was how relevant are these experiments to real life? While helpful information is sometimes gained from these types of studies, more often, the findings cannot be transferred to human beings. Many new drugs are studied outside of the human context and, while the lab reports show they are a promising means of treatment, the drug fails to act the same way in human patients (Voeller 1986). Contrasting these experiments to the MACS Project and other studies where humans were studied, I found it impossible to compare the two. The next question that came to mind was how did the researchers adjust for the fact that they are using mice or cells, which differ from human subjects in many ways? Perhaps the most obvious difference is one of scale. Mice and cells are much smaller than human beings. How were doses adjusted to account for this size difference? Most frequently, I discovered, they weren’t.



Let’s look at a study completed by a group of researchers at M.D. Hospital in Houston, Texas (Hersh et al. 1983). The researchers investigated the effects of butyl nitrite (a type of alkyl nitrite) on laboratory cultures of white blood cells. So far, so good. We know the limitations of such an experiment, but let’s continue and look at the dosing regime. Hersh and colleagues reported that when exposed to a 1% concentration of butyl nitrite for 24 hours, many of these cells were killed, while at 0.5%, the cell number and viability were unaffected. What do these findings mean for an average human being? To establish a 1% concentration of butyl nitrite in an average human with six liters of blood even from a brief moment (we are not considering the 24 hour time period here yet), 60 mL of butyl nitrite needs to be added to the blood. A bottle of poppers contains 10 to 12 mL of the compound. This means that five or six bottles of the compound would have to be injected into a human to replicate the conditions of the experiment. Since nitrites are inhaled rather than injected (injecting nitrites is toxic) and only a small fraction of the compound is actually absorbed by the lungs, this study tells us nothing in reality except that a 1% concentration of butyl nitrite kills cells in a test tube. (Voeller 1986)

Answer 5

HIV+ guys I've known were more worried about being "safe" than me. Whether truth or urban legend, there are guys who don't know their status, and supposedly some poz guys who want to spread it or just don't care . . . . dating sites (gay AND straight) facilitate "casual encounters" but they just make it easier - we'd still be hooking without them.

Answer 6

Alexander, it is very irresponsible of you to write things like that. You are making up your "facts" to fit your own fears - either that or you are just passing on a lot of junky pseudo-information, which is just as heinous !

True scientific facts are available if you look for them, instead of just passing on the junk put out by Vigilante Mommies of America, who want their kiddies terrified off all sex except between heterosexual married couples and in the missionary position, while he thinks of God and she thinks of Martha's Vineyard.

AIDS is probably due to the sniffing of nitrites (poppers) by gay men and the breathing of nitrites pesticides and fertilizers in Africa, as well as the poisonous “medications” prescribed. In other words, it seems to be a form of blood-poisoning.

There are currently well over 90 retroviruses classified as HIV. Which is tested for? They look for antibodies, because no virus has ever been isolated !

Each time a patient turns up with AIDS and the test shows HIV negative, they search for another and dub it a mutation. There are millions of viruses out there, so it's no big problem and how could he have AIDS without having "the virus"? The definition of AIDS has now been changed, so that anyone who has AIDS must have some form of HIV, otherwise he simply doesn't have AIDS, hence the necessity of finding yet another “mutation”.

Gay men are constantly exhorted to get tested for HIV. Gay publications are full of ads for this. Well-funded trusts exist with the sole aim of battling HIV and “helping” people found to be positive. Do you think the officers of these foundations want to lose their jobs and the perquisites that go with them?

This scare means that more gay men get tested than any other group, so, accordingly, more or them are found to be "HIV positive".

Retroviruses are pretty evenly distributed throughout the population, but who is testing housewives, nuns, fathers of families?

I seem to remember that one of the first people to contract AIDS in the US was indeed a nun. She is no longer listed, as no “HIV antibodies” could be found in her system. One of the first in Germany was the wife of a farmer who insisted she never even visited the nearest city, the farm, where she had charge of ... wait for it ... the pesticides and fertilizers, i.e. nitrites.

Don't report me for ”abuse” till you have informed yourselves.

I think John Lauritsen (google him) gets pretty near the truth.

Answer 7

Unsafe sex spreads STD's - not online dating sites.



And do you know how many people have a one night stand after going out clubbing?



Welcome to the real world.

Answer 8

I have one thing to say: ALWAYS wrap it up...especially if you're gonna hook up. That is all.
