No. There is zero rational reasoning behind permitting it.

Not what I said. However government does FORCE it to happen faster.

However, as previously indicated, the government forcing the use of these developments reduces long term costs AND leads to further development of safety precautions.

Yes, I know it can cause shingles. But that's shingles, not chicken pox.

Just like syphilis can be and is curable. You do not have it any longer. You have no symptoms, you are not a carrier, and it will not just reoccur without a completely separate infection. It is CURED.

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

That's like trying to draw an infection distinction between HIV and AIDS. Good luck with that. :rolls

You still have it. You are a carrier. It's in your blood. Just because you are asymptomatic does not mean you are cured.

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

Aside from individual freedom, choice and responsibility.

In SOME instances, possibly, but not in most.


And, as it pertains to what I do, and have done (since YOU brought it up), the government doesn't force jack ****ing ****.

In fact, most advancements in safety are despite the government, not because of it. People don't WANT to get hurt. Companies don't WANT their employees dead and dying. No nannies needed.

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

There's a distinct difference.

However, with regard to chicken pox, the person is now immune to chicken pox and they are NOT a carrier. With regard to HIV, the person is NOT immune to other HIV strains and IS a carrier. So, our point still stands.

No, you are not a carrier. You do not still "have it". It is cured. If you still "had it", you couldn't contract it again. Which you CAN, even after you've been treated and cured.

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

They are indeed a carrier. Otherwise there wouldn't be a risk of shingles.

Actually your understanding is limited.

You can still be infected without it being an ACUTE infection.

No cure. The end.

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

Which aren't enforced by allowing people to do stupid ****.

Actually yes, in most.

If the companies didn't want their employees dead and dying, they'd incorporate appropriate safety requirements. Hence condoms. Hence the whole freaking point of the argument.

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

No, they are not a carrier. If they cannot give it to others, they are not a carrier.


No, I understand quite well.

Indeed, someone CAN be infected and be asymptomatic. But not in the case of someone who has been CURED of a disease such as someone who has been CURED of syphilis.

Yes, it can be cured. The end.

Your oh so precious government even states that fact.

STD Facts - Syphilis

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

Chicken pox antibodies remain in the blood which is what gives immunity to future chicken pox infections.

The shingles virus is only activates as a hyper immune response by the body to what it thinks is the pox again.

You are not a carrier of chicken pox your entire life once you overcome it.


Syphilus is curable. It is bacterial and it cures with antibiotics. It does not remain in the blood. It is contractable as many times as you get exposed to it.

Re: Porn industry ponders new condom law in Los Angeles
 

There are actually many viral and bacterial infections like this. Typically, antibodies to them confer immunity. Ergo "having it in your blood" is arguably a good thing.
There are some viruses that remain with you for life which cause occasional flare-ups (such as Herpes Simplex 1 & 2), but Syphilis is not one of them. Once treated, it is resolved without sequelae, regardless of whether or not antibodies to it remain in your body for life.
It is incorrect to say "you are a carrier" if by that you mean contagious. Typically that is what being a "carrier" means. Once treated, Syphilis cannot be transmitted sexually, laterally, or any other way. It is resolved.
