The medicine way is the expensive way much more so than the latex way and the medicine way is much more so the effective way by the fact that heterosexual intercourse is erotic and the partners smote themselves through touch near unconcious when using condoms.                                                                    Before 1999 actually. My page was on page one with Dr James Watson on Google under MEDICAL RESEARCHER four year beginning year 2000 untill 2004. In late 2004 after I had returned from Bolivia looking into Chagas disease - the subject that first interested me in medical research and in the Amazon basin where I went to - and learning something about falciparum malaria, learning much more about chagas and malaria, later visits to Bolivia, when HIV late 2004 was replaced by the U.S. Surgeon General as the number one medical problem in the nation and replaced by Osteoporosis as the number one problem the U.S. faced. Earlier before the turn of the last decade of the 20th century into the 21st century I was surprised to learn on line on the world web no one was paying any attention to the west Africa HIV studies 1981-84 (nada no quizas). Which are the most comprehensive, sophisticated and best in the world on HIV infection in heterosexuals. Basically medicines are the old standby medicines that cure common venereal lesions as the vaginal route is near perfectly defended in the absence of infected tissue debilities. These old standby medicines for common venereal disease do not cure or prevent HIV decline to AIDS status. Newer medicines have been developed for that. Heterosexuals who maintain their good health and get common venereal lesions healed do not need condoms - which were intended for birth control. They, condoms, are only marginal for HIV prevention in heterosexuals. They may get Billy to marriage age and they may not. There is a lot of touch near unconcious in erotic heterosexual intercourse and the two partners smote themselves anyway, relying on condoms. On the other side of the picture condoms are an absolute in necessity for homosexuals as the anal route lacks natural defense against HIV invading. With all this known Washington began a WAR ON AIDS  without the Abrams tank. And the war was passed down the line with the cheapest and least effective prevention, condoms, which has resulted in a stickey mess, which is with us this very day year 2010. Good medicines have been developed to prevent HIV reproduction in the T4 white blood cells which HIV virus invades and recodes causing the T4 cell to believe the HIV virus it carries is its child and the T4 white blood cell to thus reproduce the HIV virus in the T4 cell then invading the human body. The HIV medicines are lifelong takers. They are the Sherman tank. The Abrams tank was completely left out in the WAR ON AIDS. Something is very very wrong. Also for a long time U.S. Surgeons have used HIV medicines immediately upon potential HIV infections with splended success to prevent HIV infection. They use these medicines to reduce the LOAD of HIV virus (the amount of it in the body being reproduced by the T4 white blood cells believing HIV virus is its child as recoded by the HIV cell within the T4 cell). When the HIV LOAD is reduced originating at HIV invasion point from HIV inflected blood splash in a surgeons sore infected eyes, the body gets rid most of the time of the reduced HIV load naturally and the surgeon does not seroconvert to life long HIV status. The HIV is gone. This is also true for other Hospital staff and pregnant mothers with HIV are given these medicines immediately before delivery reducing their HIV load and the born infant has enough immunity to get rid naturally of the reduced load in the mothers blood and the baby does not seroconvert to HIV status. The HIV is gone.    James Franklin Lawton  New York State Licensed Master Social Worker, MSW Rutgers School of Social Work and about one year towards doctorate in Latin America Medical Studies in situ.
