...Lesbian Students' Association, The Crimson has distorted Cameron's remarks over and over, with the distortions getting worse each time. The truth is that Cameron advocated only a quarantine of victims of AIDS, and explained that the various practices of male homosexuals, prostitutes, and intravenous drug abusers tend to transmit diseases such as AIDS. The U.S. Army has already taken the step of discharging AIDS victims and restricting those with the AIDS virus, and the gay community in the U.S. has recognized the health hazards of certain sexual practices and has taken admirable steps to discourage these practices. Seen...
...prevention is a rational campaign to educate our citizens, both within and without so-called "high-risk" groups, as to what is known of the epidemiology of the HTLV-III virus. Dr. Ho, Dr. Forstein, and Prof. Brandt all stressed that the virus is extremely fragile and difficult to transmit. In ten million person-hours of medical care, said Dr. Forstein, including care before the HTLV-III virus was identified and medical workers began to take simple precautions, not one case of casual transmission has ever been recorded. The virus is transmitted only when one person's bodily fluids...
...does refute fears that towelsharing hot tubs and toilet seats can transmit sexual diseases, but as far as advocating real protection, Zinner's only words of wisdom are that...
...virus can be carried by a woman's blood, but whether it is present in vaginal secretions is still subject to investigation. Blood or vaginal secretions might enter a man's body through sores or other lesions. It is not certain whether open-mouth kissing can transmit AIDS; given the small concentrations of the virus so far found in saliva, it would seem to be what scientists call an inefficient method of spreading the disease...
Farquhar's first thought was that ISEE-3 could be directed toward Halley, providing a drastically cheaper alternative to the more than $350 million that a new and more sophisticated mission would cost. He soon realized, however, that the radio on the diminutive probe was too weak to transmit data from 80 million miles away, the distance of Halley when it is most accessible to visiting earthships. Additional research suggested a less glamorous but more practical alternative: comet Giacobini-Zinner, which orbits the sun once every 6.5 years and could be easily visited when it was about 44 million miles...
