2 Dutch men guilty of injecting 14 with HIV

I'm not surprised that it was the fucking Dutch.

My wife donated Bone marrow once, and she said it was worse than giving birth. Surviving a Bone marrow transplant and gettign HIV cured at same time is fuckin badass.

AIDS is considered a treatable disease there, not a certain OMG you're so dead one - hence the lack of murder charges.

Don't forget leukemia, too. The transplant was to cure the leukemia in the first place, and to do that without killing him, they have to completely wipe his immune system (so it doesn't attack/reject the new marrow?). But it looks like AIDS beat them to it.

So he survived, thanks in part to AIDS doing such a good job keeping his immunity down, and the new marrow was able to replace his immune system with HIV-free white cells and beat his leukemia, too.

That's pretty cool. Maybe HIV injections can be used medically to increase marrow transplant success rates, once they perfect altering marrow to produce the HIV-resistant white cells (so the don't have to find perfect donors anymore).

Hahahaha that would be amazing (an unrealistic, but still). What better way to say "Fuck you!" to such an awful disease than to make it part of the cure for cancer? And to the people who say that AIDS is a gay disease, it'd turn out that gay cures cancer! Who knew?

HIV illegal immigrant 'may have infected more than 400 women' | Mail Online

An illegal immigrant may have infected hundreds of women with HIV in a string of one-night-stands, it has emerged.

The infected Jamaican reveller prowled nightclubs to pick up women and then spent almost a year unchecked in hospital where he looked for sex with vulnerable patients.

Health officials have written to more than 400 women to warn them they might have the deadly virus after having unprotected sex with him.

The immigrant, who arrived in the UK on a visitor's visa in 2002, has admitted he cannot remember how many woman he has slept with.

He told doctors he had sex, which was often unprotected, with women he met in two nightclubs in Leicester - the now-defunct Dark Club and the Burlington Club.

Last December, he was admitted to the Brandon mental health unit at Leicester General Hospital where he slept with fellow patients - possibly even in the unit.

Doctors were told in May that his visa had expired and he was living in the UK illegally but the HIV danger only became known in the last few weeks.

"Yeah, someone injected it into against my will. Basically murder..."
