CDC recommends preventive AIDS drugs for those exposed to virusSAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Health professionals applauded the federal government for including people exposed to the HIV virus through isolated episodes of unsafe sex or drug use among those recommended for emergency treatment, calling the new policy an overdue surprise from the Bush administration.
Previously, federal health officials advised a preventative 28-day regimen of AIDS drugs only for health care workers accidentally exposed on the job. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expanded its guidelines Thursday, saying rape victims, as well as some individuals who knowingly put themselves at risk, should receive the drug cocktail that can keep them from becoming infected with HIV.
I got an idea: let's reduce/eliminate the need for this by doing the following:
(Gee, can you tell that I have ZERO compassion for anyone guilty of rape?)
Maybe the though of sitting in jail for 15 years might not be enough - public executions in a graphic manner might be the ticket.
The same goes for drunk drivers that kill people: 9mm slug in the back of the head - on the side of the road might get some to re-think that I'm okay to drive attitude.
As for 'unsafe sex', here's a thought: if you can't trust your partner, why are you screwing your partner??
And intravenous drug use: don't do drugs. If you cannot handle that concept, see my plan for rapists and drunk drivers.
Things would be much easier if I were just made Evil Overlord....
