Don’t answer if you’re going to preach please! Believe me i know the things i have done are wrong and i am EXTREMELY ashamed of my past!
I had a serious drink and drug problem and was a real nasty piece of work if i’m honest!
I got clean and sorted myself out when i got pregnant, my baby is now 4 months old and i am still on the straight and narrow! Will NEVER go back to my old lifestyle, my daughter is worth far too much!
Anyways, i’m wanting to go back to college because i want to get a career and a well paid job to support her properly and bring her up differently to what i was!
I’d kill to be a pediatric nurse or a paramedic but i know there’s NO WAY!
All i can think of that i would be allowed to do is hairdressing or something along those lines but its not a brilliant career in my eyes
Any ideas please?

Have you ever known any men that you knew for sure were not having Gay sex, but got AIDS from unprotected sexual contact with a woman?

Paul Michael Glaser’s (star of Starsky & Hutch series) Wife Elizabeth contracted HIV from a blood transfusion in 1984, she had it for 4 years without knowing it . She passed it onto her children through breast feeding but Michael never got it. How do you explian this.

I was an adult before the public became aware of HIV and in all my years I have only known 2 people to die from it, one was a Gay male and One was an IV drug user.

So, do you actually know someone, or can give me a link something that verifies that this can happen. Do you have any stats on the chances?

Any information you can give me would be greatly apreaciated, Thanks
Please don’t say Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas hinted to the press that Magic was having gay sex.
Blaize, I’m asking you to prve it. Please no first year sex education lessons needed.
Mick, where does it say in my question that i want to play sexual Russian roulette with a woman?

Let me simplify this, Please name ONE SINGLE PERSON in particular who has contracted AIDS this way. All I need is one confirmed case.
Give me facts, not Dr. opinions, not assumptions, not lectures on morality or safe sex. Again GIVE ME FACTS ONLY!!

1.) You don’t have to drink a gallon of salty liquid or starve yourself for 24 hours for this test. A combination of biscotyl pills, usually 3 of them and a cold bottle of magnisium citrate work just as well and don’t tasted awful.
2.) You can eat a small breakfast and a plain turkey sandwich for lunch before starting the prep, just make sure after 12 noon to try to drink as much clear liquid as you can so you don’t get dehydrated.
3.) NEVER, EVER, EVER let a doctor use an adult sized colonscope on you!!! The risk of colon perforation when this is used and not a pediatric scope is multiplied by roughly 25 times!!
4.) Do NOT let the doctor give you Versed for this procedure!! It does absolutely nothing for pain, it’s an amnesiac. I had a terrible reaction to this evil drug and I’ve never been the same since, mostly depression and anxiety.
Alot of people have had Versed only to find them in excrutiating pain, but unable to speak or move due to this drug. There are other things that can be used like Propofol if you feel you need to be “asleep” for this procedure. If you think you’ll need pain relief ask for Demerol or Fentanyl. (but from experience, it’s a virtually painless test, and most people could do it w/o any drugs…I had no problem with it, not painful in the least.)
The hospitals do their best to push Versed on almost all patients. It’s very cheap and they can charge the Insurance Company a fortune, and make a large profit. Also if they mess up…it doesn’t matter…the patient will have amnesia anyway…and some end up with permant amnesia (like me.)
Versed isn’t helpful to ANYONE and never should have been allowed for use on humans!!!!

My husband and I went to the emergency room last night (for him) and he was later diagnosed with have viral meningitis. He’s still unconcious – he has the worst tolerance to any type of drug [he can break his leg and take half a tylenol and feel no pain] and they sedated him to do a spinal tap at 2am last night, and he’s still out – been in and out all day/night). About three hours ago, the nurse told me it’d be better for me to go home and rest then stay here and worry.

When I came home the kids – who were with my husbands brother – were still awake, though barely, and wanted to know immediately where their father was. I told them he was still at the doctor, and we’d talk in the morning (the boys are 2 and our daughter will be 3 in two days).

My issue is i don’t know what to say to them. How do I tell them that he could be in the hospital for two weeks? Oh and that they can’t seem him since he’s in Quarrintine (at our hospital, if your under 25 your considered a pediatric case, because of this they put my husband in Quarrintine until tommorrow where they’ll move him to I.C.U. for a little bit – either way the kids can’t see him). So what do I tell them? Do I go into details or just say he’s sick?

I think I’m rambling now. Again, sorry, but my mind is still racing. Coming home did nothing except make me worry in my own house instead of in the hospital.

Any help or suggestions of any kind is appreaciated!
