HIV/AIDS on Oprah

Ok, this week, I have alot I want to share with you guys. I watched Oprah today and guess what the topic was, spreading HIV through sex.



There was a man that new he was infected with HIV and had unprotected sex with over 25 women over the term of at least 13 years. The 5 women that were on the panel were older women with teenage childeren and some grandmothers. They all dated the same man and were intimate with him unprotectly.



The thing that got to me is most of the women asked him about his status or asked about using a condom, but no one thought of asking to see the papers or to say no sex without a condom! Oprah asked should you really ask to see paper work on the status becuase that isn't really romantic. I practically yelled at the t.v "yes!" OMG! I know about trusting your partner and taking their word but when it comes to your personal health, you need facts and proof. So what it may not be "romatic" at the time but romance can be brought back. You want to have health issues for the rest of your life all for some nice sex. Get for real. Tell your partner to take the confidential HIV test. It has their name on it.

AIDS is a home for oportunistic disease. Oportunistic diseases are diseases that usually only occur when they see a weak immune system. Having any or a combination of these sometimes rare disease can be a definite red flag. Some of these disease are:
-Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
-Mycobacterium avium complex
-Cytomegalovirus
-Tuberculosis
-Cryptosporidiosis
-Hepatitis C
-Human papilloma virus

  1. It seems that you aren't alone when it comes to watching that Oprah special. Yeah, you know really kills romance? Knowing you are HIV positive for the rest of your life. How dare she ask a question like that and not back it up with a firm discussion of the importance of knowing your partner's status. With someone that has as much power as she does and influence, it could have been a great opportunity to straighten some people out.

  2. People should ask their partners about their HIV status before they decide sex. Usually people get infected because they get caught up in the moment, and if they ask about the status beforehand then during the "moment", they won't have to worry about repercussions.

  3. I think it is horrific for someone to knowing spread HIV. I know that this is a crime and it definitely should be, because by knowingly spreading HIV you are taking someone's life and freedom. They may not die right away because they have HIV, but eventually this virus will become the main focus of their life.

    I also watched the Oprah show and found the show very informational. I believe more celebrities should have a voice when it comes to spreading information about HIV, because believe it or not, celebs are very influential.

  4. I understand about wanting to be romantic but sometimes candle light and flowers also share the inside of a funeral home. Why would anyone want to send someone there? I don't understand why people do what they do. HIV is a terrible disease and some people think that its romantic sharing HIV with others. Its not chocolate! Some people just don't get it do they?

  5. I watched this show and the morning show they were on. I can understand why they didn't ask to see the paper. Some of the women did ask him if he had any problems and he lied and said no. Even told that lie when he walked out of the health department right to the car and told that woman that he was clean. We want to trust.

    I wonder how many of the women in this class have asked their partners to get tested, or asked before they entered into their current relationship. Not many, I'm sure.
