Virus Truths and Myths

There has been much debate in the medical
world about the origins of HIV... and many
people seem to think the theories of this
virus came from apes( Primates) as to be
somewhat impossible... in-fact some people
think HIV is man-made... even though there is
an ape form of HIV..

BUT did you know many apes carry hepatitis b,
which can infect a human from a bite, as it
is carried in bodily fluids, including
saliva.

Hepatitis B is a virus that spreads through
the blood and bodily fluids of an infected
person. Hepatitis B is 100 times more
infectious than HIV, with many people not
even realising they have been infected with
the virus.

So to all conspiracy theory lovers, was Hep
B.. man-made... or is the actual truth, we
are primates and we share and carry the same
infections risks.

I wonder if people who own monkeys as pets,
know they are at possible risk of being
infected with hepatitis b?

Are you sure it's carried by every Ape and
not just the unlucky few Lucy?

It seems very prevalent in apes/monkeys
tiger, even some chimpanzee's in London zoo,
where found to be carrying this virus.

I never said all tiger, but it has been
researched and documented that many species
of primates can carry their own strain of Hep
B, which can be transmitted to a human.

I've seen some keepers kissing Apes on the
lips so either they're completely nuts or
those ones weren't carriers so i thought
i'd ask.

Also it might make people think twice
about kissing a stranger this Christmas
seeing as it's past through saliva

HIV and Hep B, cant be passed by humans by a
kiss, unless there maybe a risk of an open
wound in mouth/lips... the risk of infection
from a monkey with saliva, is because many
monkeys bite when provoked..

so tiger I think your Xmas tongue action is
safe but look out for cold sores.. as they
are caused by the herpes simplex virus

So it's carried in human saliva but can't
be passed through a frenchy?

I know HIV can't,i was thinking of Hep B.

I was always cautious about sharing a drink
when i was younger if someone asked for
some,i suppose lack of knowledge equals
fear in some cases.

I won't be snogging any chimps

hepatitis is a lot stronger virus than HIV,
it can survive out the body a lot longer..
but any virus needs a route to infect..
kissing is safe lol if they were spitting in
a open wound or sticking their tongue in then
I would be worried... thank fook were not all
strange sickos.. as I say the risk is more
with a bite, where a the skin in broken and
you bleed.

As in HIV blood is high risk, saliva low
risk.

things.

Luckily she wasn't infected

dont forget sperm and vaginal excretions

I think the only risk in kissing and HIV,
would be if the person had bleeding gums.

Now we all know a bit about Hep B and
things thanks to Lucy,but there's something
else going around at Christmas and it can
be very embarrassing.

So be careful when you've had a few too
many drinks that you don't end up with an
unsightly munter,your doctor can't help
you with this terrible affliction

First is the notion that beef causes heart
disease. This actually dates back to the
1950's when the lipid hypothesis was &taking
hold on the American consciousness. At that
time, scientists were grappling with a new
threat to public health—a steep rise in heart
disease, especially myocardial infarction
(MI)—a massive blood clot leading to
obstruction of a coronary artery and
consequent death to the heart muscle. MI was
almost nonexistent in 1910 and caused no more
than three thousand deaths per year in 1930.
By 1960, there were at least 500,000 MI
deaths per year in the US.
