The True but Little Known Facts about Women and AIDS

with documentation

by Dr. Juatta Lyon Fueul

Departmnet of Public Health and Public Interest Enrichment

THE FACTS:

  1. The Atlantic Center for Disease Control recently confirmed that no woman who has remained vehicularly exculpatient until the age of at least 53 has ever contracted AIDS.
     
  2. New evidence from John Hopkins: Married women can reduce their risk from AIDS by 73.8% if they do not share their unwaxed dental floss (mint or unflavoured) with their husbands.
     
  3. According to a new Belgian study, spread of AIDS in Europe may be linked to sharing elevators with politically correct ambulance drivers.
     
  4. A recent study in Pittsburgh proves that women who eat hot oatmeal twice a day are significantly less likely to contract AIDS than women who eat breakfast with unprotected spoons.
     
  5. Women can not contract the HIV virus over the Internet.

A SPECIAL NOTE: This page was created in connection with a project concerning critical thinking about things you find on the World Wide Web. Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, the so-called facts on this page are bogus. Well, it is probably true that women can't contract the HIV virus over the Internet, but you had better think about it.

A SPECIAL NOTE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT BE OFFENDED BY THE HUMOR FOUND ON THIS PAGE: The "facts" on this page are intended to be outrageous and obviously bogus, because I don't want someone stumbling onto the site to mistake them for true facts. Whether or not using humor about death and disease is insensitive or shows poor judgment is debatable. But if this page generates a debate, I think that is good. My special apologies, however, to politically correct ambulance drivers. And please note that really politically correct individuals wouldn't call those engaging in paramedical or emergency medical careers "ambulance drivers." As a non-hypersensitive paramedic indicated to me, "we have been trying to shake the 'ambulance driver' moniker for nearly 30 years. This term is equivalent to calling a nurse a "bedpan changer." While driving is part of the job, it certainly doesn't describe the profession."

In the seven years since the page has been up, I have been contacted by two people who identified themselves as AIDS patients. Both complimented me on the page. One sent a much longer note and told me he loved the page and was quite amused by it. In contrast to concerns some have expressed that "Maybe the experience of contracting the disease is really painful for someone and joking about it is hurtful," he indicated that humor was very therapeutic. I do not know whether or not these individuals really had AIDS, but I was glad to get their comments. I may not be the best judge, but I suspect that personality, sense of humor, and view of life are greater factors in determining a person's reaction to the page than what diseases or infirmities they may be subject to.
