The city man who is fighting for his life against a possible new super-strain of HIV is responding to treatment but remains seriously ill, city health officials said yesterday.
The 46-year-old gay man was diagnosed this year with an aggressive type of HIV that progressed rapidly into full-blown AIDS and has proved resistant to three of the four types of drugs used to treat the disease.
The man is believed to have been infected during crystal meth-induced sex orgies. The city Health Department has been able to contact most of his sexual partners, many of whom already were HIV-positive.
But the agency has been unable to reach many of his other partners because they were anonymous, officials said. Doctors have said the patient may have had unprotected sex with more than 100 men.
Will New York City be ground zero for this Super-HIV to take place? Time will tell probably sooner rather than later. And for the meantime, people had better watch out on who they kiss or have sex. We just don't know how transmissable this Super-HIV is. Don't blame Congress, the President, the lack of funds and what not if you decide to take on risky behaviors, hetero or homosexual.

Surely you jest? Did you miss the context of my blog article or what?
Yeah, even though they go around saying, "Oh, I'm careful who I kiss."
Something akin to carrying a gun with one bullet in it and plays Russian Roulette with a loaded gun and says. "Oh, I'm careful where I point that thing."
