I've been reading articles this morning. There wasn't a lot in them I hadn't read before. According to this article, another dentist's failure to follow of sanitation protocol may be spreading HIV at a VA hospital in Wisconsin. This happened in late October. Still not much word on the fallout. It's things like this that lead many to believe the 3rd leading cause of death in the US is medical mistakes & neglect.
There was also a lot on the failure of needle exchange programs at slowing down the spread of HIV in areas with high levels of IV drug use. It isn't that needle exchange programs don't work, they were implemented so late, the damage was done. The transmission of HIV is increasing in Whites who use IV drugs.
That's all for now. Stay safe.
Cya...
