000646 -“Someone can test positive to HIV ten years before they start showing any symptoms. Your talking about spending 10-15 years in a quarantine facility before they would even feel sick.”

I see you read Wikipedia!

“No one would be willing to report to testing in such circumstances.”

And how do you know?

“Even when suffering; terminal patients turn down treatments that affect their quality of life a whole lot less then that all the time.”

And how many pts. do you know like that? I doubt even one!

“And all this is assuming that you could actually track down everyone who was at risk, which for the reasons I listed above is by itself a stretch.”

You wouldn’t have to track them down, they’d come themselves to be tested.

From above: “When they get sick & want to be treated – they have to prove that they were tested; otherwise we don’t treat them!”

“You assumed that I meant this -“affect their quality of life”

“What I meant was – pain relief! 99.9% of terminaly ill pts. (AIDS & Cancer) get Rx meds for pain!”
