Re: Party girl throws big HIV scare into military
said by Serbtastic  :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. The reason they are not 100% effective is because of breakage. If they don't break, 0% risk of pregnancy or HIV. Not entirely true, spillage and leak out the top apparently can happen. We are talking a tiny weeny (get it.. HAH!) percentage though.

Rough sex could cause breakage (and I really mean this, so I have been able to conclude with friends who are regularly able to break them). I think the terrible thing about this case is that Jennifer Murphy (HIV+ woman, I see no need to hide her identity, unlike the Government) was infected at 18 by a man who knew he had HIV but never told her.
Apparently, she just showed up six weeks prior at CFB Borden and making advances on Soldiers, very rarely going home alone. I feel fortunate that while I was based at Borden, I never had the urge to hop into bed with any piece of skirt that presented itself (though it may have had more to do with me being incredibly shy). Come to think of it, I was never shown any videos about the importance of using condoms while I was in the Army, it was something I just knew. |

| If you were never shown a video about the importance of using condoms, you had to have been through lectures on the subject. All soldiers since the Korean Conflict have been regularly taught the importance of safe sex and the spread of STD's.
Those soldiers involved not only had to have sat through lectures but had the availability of free condoms. It doesn't sound like anyone had a gun to their head. |

While I was enlisted, granted, I knew the importance of protecting myself against STD's, something I learned in high school, but in some cases, people never learn the lesson until they escape narrowly or actually get something nasty.
Condoms are plentiful for Canadian Forces soldiers, I remember the field hospitals and ambulances having ample supplies, and handing them out when the medics were checking your feet (I was an Infantryman, I didn't go anywhere unless it was in combat boots).

But her sister likes her anyway

Jennifer Murphy is no femme fatale and portraying her as a promiscuous AIDS carrier bent on taking victims is unfair, says her sister. "My sister is a very, very good woman, and she would never ever do anything to hurt anybody," Amanda Murphy said in an interview with the Toronto Star from her home in St. John's.
"She's been living with AIDS for 14 years and if she wanted to start spreading the HIV virus she would have done it years ago."

Which is exactly why Jennifer told all her sex partners that she has HIV/AIDS (not sure how long she's been full-blown). I'm sure Amanda can easily put herself in the shoes of the family members of those affected, after all, 14 years ago she had to do the same thing, fact is, Jennifer could have any number of motives, spreading her pain to others is just one of them (and if she told her partners, there goes her nookie, certainly would make me say thanks but no thanks). It's a black and white case really, Did Jennifer engage in unprotected sex with SoldierX? And did she tell him she has HIV? Yes, if she wanted to deliberately infect men with HIV, she could have done it years ago, but here is a single woman sleeping around an Armed forces base, may as well tie a pork chop around her neck and throw her over the fence at the SPCA. --

Pork chop? LOL
At this rate the Army may have to actively recruit gay soldiers......, that pork chop would have been appealing as chopped liver |

And since HIV is easier to pass around during unprotected sex during homosexual encounters, then woman to man in heterosexual situations, it may make things worse. The points I have stated are medical fact, before anyone goes accusing me of harboring hatred for gay men.
