Yes, I've heard that some doctors have actually done that...
That is why it is so important for patients to be informed about things. This is what makes the internet so wonderful. Important information is right at your fingertips.

I also agree that in your post you mentioned that even water can pose toxicity, which is true. We typically find this problem amongst marathon runners who die of cerebral edema (swelling of the brain) due to excessive water intake. Water just flows right into the brain and causes increased pressure against the skull, and eventually patients begin to experience seizures and convulsions.
In regards to AIDS, there are many different enzymes (specialized proteins that catalyze reactions) the most important one being reverse transcriptase that constantly mutate and change themselves. This little guy pretty much takes the RNA from the virus and synthesizes DNA from it, which then integrates into the genome. It is a silent killer. Other mutations are also observed in proteins that are required for fusion with the cell known as fusion proteins, and also other proteins that break specific proteins down, known as proteases. This bastard is constantly changing itself. 1% of the population is genetically resistant to HIV 1 and 2 strains. Those are the people we need to test.edit on 12-11-2011 by Unvarnished because: (no reason given)
Please read that carefully, it's a bold faced lie. No adverse effects or safety risk? It's unheard of! There is no medication in existence which has no adverse side effects or risks involved. Everyone is different and reacts differently. Even plain water has an adverse side effect or risk - drowning. So to say this HIV-AIDS vaccine is safe is well, illogical and irrational. (And immoral!)
BUT WAIT!
It said ANIMAL tests, so maybe in animals it didn't do anything, but in humans it will.
Humans are a lot more fragile to things than animals are.edit on 12-11-2011 by darkredfish because: (no reason given)

After this gets approved by the FDA, Im getting it.
It will be cheaper than having to buy a box of condoms every couple weeks!
Im in the high risk group and having to ask "Do you have a STD?" is kinda akward.
I dont buy into the whole " Dont use them! They're bad for you!!" crap. (Vaccines not condoms LOL)edit on 12-11-2011 by darkredfish because: (no reason given)edit on 12-11-2011 by darkredfish because: (no reason given)

I never said that the FDA is always right, but I don't think they have ever had a VACCINE that did not work or was bad for you. Also, I would not be the first guy in line, I think I would wait a year or so, to see if things happened, and to also wait untill the price came down xD
Also, Im spending about 20 bucks on condoms a month.
It would just be cheaper to get a vaccine for like.. $200.
Also, would medical care cover this?
