If I remember correctly it wasn't partially eaten; only prepared by someone with aids.

Considering my roommate's blood cells are so small his blood is considered toxic*... and I eat his food all the time... I'm not too worried.

He knows what risks come with his condition. I looked into it when I learned of the condition.

First time meeting a person... sure would be a bit weary "Would you like a Sandwich? BTW I have AIDs". There's questions to be asked

*Essentially if he ever gets a disease that travels via the bloodstream he is a walking bio-hazard. If he bled on you the blood will seep through the skin because of the size of it, and you would then be infected as well. It's not fun, considering he also gets frequent nosebleeds because of this



Don't let your friend become a zombie, he'd be the most contagious zombie ever

The virus would probably mutate to make everyone's blood like that, that'd be the end for humanity

If most of us sat at the roulette table and watched the last 5 spins in a row land on black, we'd bet on red. Most of us won't drink out of a toilet even though the water is cleaner than what we get out of an ice machine. Most of us can name more parts of an animal we wouldn't want to eat than the equally sanitary (and sometimes healthier) parts we discard. Most of us consider being urinated on a justification for assault but will gladly shake your filthy hand. From a scientific standpoint, none of that makes sense.

You're confusing emotional response with a scientific and rational assessment of actual harm. Plenty of people would be alarmed by the prospect of sharing food with an HIV+ person. I'd bet money that every single HIV+ person is all too familiar with a look of hesitation over a simple handshake. People got on Sith because after and away from the emotional response and "grossness", he really thought he had a scientifically sound and rational justified reason to bring physical and economic harm on this guy.

Let's draw a parallel to homosexuality. It's one thing for someone to feel awkward, for one reason or another, because you find out a coworker is gay. It's another to mount a crusade trying to get that coworker fired and beaten because "he didn't tell you he was gay and now your whole relationship is undermined with homosexual undertones and you might have caught the gay or accidentally been involved in some sort of intimate act with a homosexual because you thought it was just heterosexual joking".

People mock Sith for his willful ignorance and poorly justified vendetta not because he found an AIDs sandwich unappetizing...

I cannot figure out wtf you are trying to describe...


Edit: And the chance is not low. The chance is nothing. The 0.03% chance of a transmission after you stab an HIV+ patient with a hollow needle and immediately inoculate your body with that blood is low. The chance of an inoculating dose of HIV seeping onto a sandwich, surviving that habitat long enough to make it to your mouth, climbing out from the lettuce, and entering an open lesion in your mouth or esophagus to enter your circulation before it's destroyed by your stomach acid is nothing.

One term of university I ate a lot of half eaten food. Presumably I ate a couple aids sandwiches.


I'd rather not do it again but for a few reasons more important than the aids thing. Heh.



heh, been there before. you do some desperate and disgusting things when you're starving

This thread attempts to justify Sith's ridiculously stupid reaction to the "aids sandwich". For shame.

French fries were a score lol. Amazing how many people didn't finish major portions of their meals. Handy too.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel? I might want to get you banned before this board ends.

I wouldn't even voluntarily go into the same room as someone with AIDS.



I don't even voluntarily think of people with AIDS. There are whole portions of Africa that don't even exist to me.


so there are portions of africa you DO think about?

oh also, i'd eat an aids sandwich. i share food with my dog. and i don't mean i break off a piece of whatever. i do that most of the time but if i'm eating a popsicle or something and he comes over and stares at it, i'll let him taste it. i've eaten off of a spoon that my cat was licking and drank water after my cat pushed her entire face into my cup to drink it as well. i know the disgusting things they put into their mouths. i've seen them all licking their junk and buttholes. someone who had hiv making a sandwich would not turn me off.

that said though, i won't eat anything that a human baby has put it's disgusting fingers on. that's so goddamn gross it makes me retch.
