I wholeheartedly agree.
That's a particularly rank form of spam, ain't it?

Thanks for the spam patrol Kewpid, I deleted the offending comments and nuked that user. Good information about HIV can be found at Wikipedia and the Center for Disease Control.
Ah, I see. Thanks!
STI stands for sexually transmitted infection. I think doctors and others prefer this term nowadays because not all of the stuff you can get is necessarily a 'disease'.

Kewpid, is it STI in Australia? What does it stand for?
I'm asking because (in the U.S. at least) I've always heard the acronym is STD. (Also I think HIV is not always sexually transmitted...)
If you have herpes, HPV, or any other STI, you should go see a doctor.
