Canada's Department of National Defense has issued a nationwide warning to soldiers who may have had sex with a fun-loving woman who has AIDS.

Jennifer Murphy, 31, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault after allegedly engaging in unprotected sex at Canadian Forces Base Borden without informing her partner she was HIV-positive.

The national alert was put out because the Borden base, 100 miles north of Toronto, has around 3,200 teaching and support staff, and another 15,000 soldiers, sailors and air personnel rotate through every year as students before being deployed elsewhere.

Investigators with the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service told the Toronto Star their probe has left them uncertain how many soldiers Murphy may have slept with and possibly infected with HIV.

Various soldiers contacted by the newspaper said Murphy was a fun-loving woman from Newfoundland, a fixture at parties on the base, a regular at the bars in town, and one who seldom left parties on her own.

Condoms don't exactly prevent HIV

Condoms do break, had one break a few weeks ago dammit. Woman got tested prior to us sleeping so if she is telling the truth I'm fine, of course in about a month I'm gonna get tested myself.

said by Reactance :

though if u even get a high quality condom also? there is a chance it would break??

said by BonezX :

most reason they would break is user error.

said by lawrence171 :

how do you, exactly, use a condum correctly?

I was under the catholic system, so, sex-ed wasn't taught in Grade 9.

Don't u just put it on, and start doing?

"Also, they are not 100% effective in preventing the spread of HIV. The one positive thing these soldiers have going for them is that the rate of transmissions from an infected female to a male is much lower than the opposite situation."

---

One reason for the huge rate of infection in sub-Saharan Africa and certain Asian Countries is the high rate of "other" STD's increasing the transmission rate of HIV.

---

No the reason is the unchecked abuse, and rape of women, the aids stds are just byproducts of a systemic culture of sexual assault.

said by Ian :

HSV and HPV REALLY make you susceptible to other STD's.

nowadays, its just safer to beat it yourself...cheaper, and safer.;)

said by Ian :

...breakage risk as the Latex, or Polyurethane, etc.. is stretched too much. Or so I've heard.

said by Bender2000 :

for one they are about 97% effective against pregnancy. If you can have a baby with them, you can get HIV. Condoms can also break.
