NYC Health Officials Find New, Virulent HIV Strain (Update2)

Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) -- New York City doctors have discovered a
previously unseen strain of HIV, which appears to be resistant to
three of the four types of anti-viral drugs that combat the disease,
and progresses from infection to full-blown AIDS in two or three
months, the health department said.

``We've identified this strain of HIV that is difficult or impossible
to treat and which appears to progress rapidly to AIDS,'' said New
York City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden.

Frieden said the case, diagnosed in a man in his mid-40s who reported
multiple male sex partners and unprotected anal sex -- often while
using  the drug crystal methamphetamine -- was ``extremely concerning
and a  wake-up call.''

Antonio Urbina, medical director of HIV education and training at St.
Vincent's Catholic Medical Center, site one of Manhattan's largest
AIDS  clinics, said at a news conference that the patient's use of
crystal  methamphetamine shows that the drug ``continues to play a
significant  role in facilitating the transmission of HIV.''

The drug reduces peoples' inhibitions and their likelihood of using
condoms or other forms of safe sex, he said.

When will the filthy, perverted promiscuous homosexuals learn. Every
CDC warning on STDs for the last 20 years has involved male
homosexuals. It's time to take some SERIOUS CONTROL ACTION.
