I think you should be very careful.  You never know what people will do these days.  Talking with people is a good way to bring about change sometimes.  Depending on what they are doing, calling the police or other authorities might be advisable also.  Here is something I did once, that I think is pretty funny, and it also proved to be effective.  My next door neighbor's carport was right by my bedroom window.  I worked nights, and slept late some days.  He liked to work on cars and always played rap music very loudly while doing so.  One day I decided I'd had enough, so on my side of the privacy fence I set up a very powerful mobile dj system with the huge speakers on stands at ear level and aimed right at the fence where he would be working on the other side.  As soon as he started to play the rap music and work on his car, I started playing a CD of Dean Martin at full power.  It drowned out his music.  I let it play for about a half hour then I shut it off.  By then he had given up and went inside.  He never played his music loud again.  I guess he wasn't a big fan of Deano!

False. While safe sex will help stop the spread, it is thought that 50% of people living with AIDS contracted the diease through shared needle use.  The only answer to AIDS is a cure.  We are moving closer each day to that goal.  I hope to be there the day it happens.  It will be the single greatest event of our lifetime!

I heard that on the radio today.  As I recall, a team of researchers in Gabon found this particualar strain of HIV in chimp droppings out in the bush.  Imagine going to West Africa to study chimp droppings.

Increased numbers of sexual partners not only increases your risk of HIV/AIDS, it also increases the risk of HPV, the disease that may cause cervical cancer, anal cancer or genital warts, depending on which type of the virus you get, as well as other STD's.  The desire to protect your body must be stronger than your urge for sex.  If you have a plan on how to refrain when you are put into a compromising situation, it might help.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, three main transmission routes of HIV have been identified:\n\n    * Sexual route. The majority of HIV infections are acquired through unprotected sexual relations. Sexual transmission occurs when there is contact between sexual secretions of one partner with the rectal, genital or oral mucous membranes of another.\n\n    * Blood or blood product route. This transmission route is particularly important for intravenous drug users, hemophiliacs and recipients of blood transfusions and blood products. It is also of concern for persons receiving medical care in regions where there is prevalent substandard hygiene in the use of injection equipment (e.g. reused needles in Third World settings). Health care workers (nurses, laboratory workers, doctors, etc) are also directly concerned, although more rarely. Also concerned by this route are people who give and receive tattoos, piercings and scarification procedures.\n\n    * Mother-to-child route. The transmission of the virus from the mother to the child can occur in utero during the last weeks of pregnancy and at childbirth. In the absence of treatment, the transmission rate between the mother and child is 25%. However, where treatment is available, combined with the availability of Cesarian section, this has been reduced to 1%. Breast feeding also presents a risk of infection for the baby.\n\nHIV has been found at low concentrations in the saliva, tears and urine of infected individuals, but the risk of transmission by these secretions is considered to be negligible.\n\nThe use of physical barriers such as the latex condom is widely advocated to reduce the sexual transmission of HIV. Recently, it has been proposed that male circumcision may reduce the risk of HIV transmission, but many experts believe that it is premature to recommend male circumcision as part of HIV prevention programs.

There are a number of factors that are resulting in greater HIV incidence in black women in AMERICA (when you ask questions like these, you should specify location).\n\nFirst, let's look at black MALE behaviors that lead to HIV.\n\nDrugs are a major problem in urban America. People who inject drugs raise their risk of HIV because they tend to use dirty needles or they share needles with friends. Some people inject crack, heroin, STEROIDS, and other drugs. If they don't use clean needles, they run high risk of getting HIV.\n\nMany black men are in prison. Prisons are a breeding ground for HIV. Whether the idea is pleasant to you or not, it;s true that nonviolent offenders are mixed in with violent offenders, and the violent ones do terrible things liek RAPE other inmantes. This is how a fair number of black men get HIV. Ashamed of what has happened to them, they hide what happened and never get tested. Then they might go home and wind up giving HIV to their girlfriends or wives.\n\nOkay, then what about promiscuity. Yes, there is a problem with HIV among people who have multiple partners. Of course, prostitution is a problem in many urban communities, but that's not a huge part of the peidemic. Understand that multiple partners doesn't just mean having a lot of partners all at once, it also means having several (more than 1) boyfriends or girlfriends in a year. The more partners you have, the greater risk you run. In black american communities, marriage is often NOT a priority. Yeah, I know marriage does not guarantee fidelity and monogamy, but it helps. However, there is a cultural element that rejects all notions of "white" behavior. Some black American perceive marriage to be a white cultural phenomenon (not true, and that needs addressing). But without stable marriages and long term partnerships, people will tend to have more sexual partners.\n\nThen there's "the down low." Because black America tends to be fairly homophobic, a lot of black men who want to have sex with other men do not declare themselves to be gay. Instead, they will have female partners, but secretly engage in sex (often anonymously) with other men. It is no secret that there is a greater prevalence of HIV in the gay community. If a black man on the down low picks up HIV during gay sex, then he winds up bringing it home to his girlfriend. Then, SHE gets HIV. this is definitely a growing trend and growing problem because the median income for black Americans is substantially lower than white Americans. Poverty means it's harder to get treatment. Without treatment, HIV rapidly progresses to AIDS and death.\n\nAnd those are big reasons why black American women are disproportionately affected by HIV.

No, they think of the business. Even condoms aren't 100% effective, as you can still get AIDS/HIV through open cuts, semen/vaginal fluid, etc.

I would assume not.  If you cannot catch it from the following ways, I would guess a cigarette is not much different:\n\nThere is no evidence that HIV can be spread through the following: kissing; SHARING FOOD UTENSILS, towels or bedding; swimming in pools; using toilet seats; using telephones; or having mosquito or other insect bites.   http://www.intelihealth.com/ih/ihtih/wsi...\n\nAND:\n\nYou cannot contract AIDS from: beds, breathing, chewing pencils, clothing, combs or hairbrushes, coughing or sneezing, drinking fountains, door knobs, gum, hot tubs, hugging, kissing, nail files, shaking hands, sharing food or drinks, silverware, sitting in the same classroom, swimming pools, tears, telephones, toilet seats, touching \ntowels \nhttp://www.caps.ucsf.edu/capsweb/curricu...

In a word, NO.  Now, in a much longer paragraph... :-)  After many years of study, there's not any conclusive evidence that exposure to WiFi (RF frequencies) has any effect whatsoever on living things and there are generally no health concerns, even if you placed your access point under your pillow.  RF exposure involves frequency, power and the duration of the exposure.  The human body most efficiently absorbs radio frequencies in the 30 to 300MHz range, and WiFi is at 2.4GHz.  So not only is the frequency much different, but WiFi products have strict power and RF emmissions requirements, such as 100 milliwatts maximum output power.  Plus, the WiFi RF energy is not "ionizing radiation" like it is UV light and Xrays, so WiFi frequencies pose no danger to human DNA the way prolonged sunlight UV rays cause skin cancers... What is actually of more concern is the RF energy from nearby FM radio stations!  (But they've been around much longer than WiFi, studied extensively, and again, nothing conclusive about any health concerns.)

By recognizing AIDS is a real danger, promoting "safe sex" and by "talking about AIDS and telling people that it is a real danger and threat to the human race!  Sports could play a big role in the fight against AIDS or any sexually transmitted disease, or life threatening disease, by being open and talking about it!

Causes: Unprotected sex with someone who's HIV positive, Blood transfusion with HIV Positive blood, sharing drug needles with an HIV positive person.\n\nEffects: Potential for Serious illness, compromised immune system, death due to complications from such illnesses. Also, effects include shame, fear, isolation, depression, and hesitancy to have children for fear of passing on the disease.

Studies are indicating that the microwave radiation from cell phones  influences brain functioning and development. This occurs when they're in stand-by mode as well. It's all the more important for kids who are still growing of course. Safety levels are always measured for healthy adult men. Children's bodies are so much smaller that these 'limits' don't protect them.\n\nIf it turns out that these studies are wrong, so be it. If they're right, well, we don't know HOW bad the consequences could be.\n\nBeyond that, there's the distraction factor, risk of theft and yet another consumerist gadget which lets kids value each other's worth, and their own, in how cool their 'toys' are.

I agree with some ideas you laid out. I think there is a lot of emotional turbulence clearly being expressed through not only the type of music but lyrics and lifestyle of artists. Unfortunately, listening to such music does affect our minds in a negative way (at least those who are content with their life), and all one can do at that moment is turn the radio off. Most people eventually grow out of it after they realize the noise is really taking away their inner peace. I'm glad you have found your shelter but unfortunately society in general would need a miracle to change the pace and content of that which drives the lifestyle of general population.

false.  it means they will develop aids.  hiv causes aids.
