|

I can't even think of a close second.
Quote: SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - New statistics suggest San Francisco has the highest percentage of gay men among major cities in the world, with a quarter of them HIV-positive, a top city health official said on Friday.
"Despite an overall loss in the population in San Francisco in the last five years, we think there has been an absolute gain in gay men," William McFarland, head of HIV/AIDS statistics at San Francisco's Department of Public Health, said in an interview. "From all the data I have seen ... it's the gayest city in the world."
0ne out of every four gay males -- 25.8 percent -- is infected with the HIV virus, giving San Francisco an estimated total of 16,401 HIV-positive men, said McFarland, an epidemiologist who has also worked on studies in Uganda, Zimbabwe and Egypt.

1 in 4 are H.I.V. positive as well, which should probably rank Frisco as also the most DANGEROUS city to live in. Right? |

Maybe, if you're in the habit of having unprotected anal sex. I think D.C. has the highest per capita murder rate, so I would say that is the most dangerous city. Homophobe. |

I'm a homophobe because I don't want to contract a life threatening virus?
I'm in the restaurant business, and someone gets cut in the kitchen once a week. That would make it a dangerous environment in which to work with someone who has H.I.V.
sorry, I'm just talking reality, not sticking to the latest PC mantras. |

If they bleed into the food on a regular basis yeah.
HIV is a fairly weak virus, it takes large amounts of fluid transfer to get it.
So unless you feel like having large amounts of unprotected gay sex i woulnt worry about it. |

Have you ever ingested the blood of someone cut in a restaurant? I would say that if you can avoid that, you'll be ok. Also, as someone pointed out, having HIV doesn't make you dangerous. As I said, maybe SF is dangerous if you're in the habit of having unprotected anal sex with strange men. Or lapping their blood up off the kitchen floor. Regardless, I'd say you stand a better chance of being shot in a city with a high murder rate than you do of moving to SF, landing a restaurant job, being present when a gay person who has contracted HIV/AIDS is cut, and then somehow ingesting their blood. Call me crazy. Or PC, or whatever. I'm just thinking rationally. |

You are aware that HIV is spread through blood too, right? That means if someone gets cut, there is a chance that someone else could retract the disease. By the way, protection during anal sex is probably not going to save you from HIV either. |

It's possible, but highly unlikely that you would ingest enough blood to contract the virus. Why wouldn't a condom protect you? And if that's the case, just don't have anal sex. |

If you start sucking their wound yeah, it takes a lot of fluid to get HIV, you can't just have blood falling in your cut a la 28 days later. |

If anyone ingests HIV infested blood, they will be fine. The virus can't manifest itself through our saliva and definitely not through our stomach acids. Maybe, MAYBE, if you s*cked all the blood from an HIV person there is a single digit percentage you could contract the virus, but I doubt even that.
More importantly, Why the hell are you serving your customers food with blood on it? I'm in the restaurant business too, preparing and making food. I've cut my fingers numourous times and I'm always told to leave the area immediately, the food is thrown away, and the area I was working in is thoroughly cleaned, and I'm not even infected with any virus.
I hope the DoH closes your disgusting restaurant down. |

I agree with your assessment of Wilson. A hypocrite who espoused ideals of self-determination while constantly meddling in the affairs of weaker nations. Borderline imperialist. I use the quote to illustrate how antiquated creationist beliefs are. The Scopes trial was like 80 years ago. Can't these people catch up? |

no. having HIV doesn't make someone dangerous.
Having a gun and a reputation as a cold-blooded murdered makes someone dangerous. And I guess I won't be taking a trip to San Fransisco anytime soon. |

My dishwasher sliced his finger while washing dishes. Who knows how much blood could have dripped into water, or onto a pan. I had a cook who was a little under the weather and coughed a few times during her shift(away from the food). If she had been HIV positive(and less cautious), would YOU want her preparing your food for you? |

Yes but that dosent make them dangerous, it would be near impossible to contract HIV from blood dilluted in dish washing water.
The HIV virus is not particually infectious. |
