THE “MIRACLE” OF THE HIV ANTIRETROVIRALS.

Drugs called antiretrovirals are a virtual “cure” for HIV / AIDS – turning the once terminal illness into a chronic health matter.

There are peoole in their 80s with HIV livng perfectly normal lives today.

These people, like others, will die of heart disease, strokes or cancer.

Sadly, many, including health professionals are ignorant of the vast progress made in this area.

THE GREAT PROGRESS

verywellhealth.com

There can be little doubt that the drugs used to treat HIV have advanced enormously over the past 25 years. What some may not realize is just how much antiretroviral therapy has improved since 1996, when the first triple-drug therapy changed the very course of the AIDS pandemic.

Most importantly, with optimal treatment, a person newly infected with HIV can expect to enjoy a normal to near-normal life expectancy. According to research published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, a 20-year-old who tests positive for HIV today could very well live into their 70s and beyond.

Antiretroviral drugs are one of the major scientific breakthroughs of modern medicine, transforming a disease that one thought to be a death sentence into a chronically managed condition.

UNDIAGNOSED PEOPLE

Recently one of the HIV doctors in N. Ireland told that 25% of people with it dont know they have it.

That’s sad and serious.

Those people are a danger to themselves and a danger to others.

Everyone should get checked.

And if you are UNDECTABLE (meaning that the tests cannot fetect any HIV in your blood) you are also UNTRANSMITTABLE (unable to pass HIV on to others) which is wonderful.

I’ve got Attention Deficit Disorder — known as Attention Deficit. When I was younger I was a bit hyperactive; your typical kid “swinging off the lampshade” as they say. I believe full ADHD is when you are young: the ‘Hyperactivity Disorder’ side of ‘Attention Deficit’ — but as kids with ADHD mature into adulthood, they often just have the ‘Attention Deficit’ side of things, known as ‘ADD’ ‘Attention Deficit Disorder.’
I don’t believe God gave me ADHD as a child then ADD as an adult — that’s just ridiculous and SO Old Testament!
But I do believe God gives us various abilities, borne out of different experiences, to help us understand how precious people and life are.

My love for people and my living understanding of the preciousness of every life is the main objective reason I chose not to go further in my training for the Roman priesthood. I could have kept quiet and grated along without raising the alarms I did — but for what? To sell my soul to the devil?

I refer to yesterday’s blog. Think rcc has form of favoring the rich instead of the poor.
Can you imagine if you ask RCC for a private quick marriage within 7 days in their church. The odds is that you won’t get it very quick unless you are rich and loaded or famous or high ranking government such as BJ.
Rcc have scored their own goal re this. I think they don’t care really. Its all the more the reason to distrust rcc. They can’t be trusted simply as such.
So this would encourage people to marry in civil office or registry instead of rcc. If it comes to divorce, they can apply for it and re marry again if possible. I know a fella who got married in a beach abroad years ago but I was surprised he got divorced recently.
So that he can remarry again( against restrictive rcc rules) cos he didn’t marry in rcc first. Both were Catholics in name but not now anymore.
Yesterday poster at 9.08pm
No parents will teach their child catechism at home. Nor will the primary school teach it as well. It’s probably parents with die hard trad of attending Latin Mass will teach their kids re catechism. Thats about it.
This will accelerate a huge decline of faith in rcc. I don’t know what’s would like in 20 years time or 30 years time. Will it be gone or a minority just like in Germany.
Scally book is very good as it enabled him to distance from rcc when living abroad. His local area where abuser Fr Mc Gennis. There was many warnings re that priest but ex PP chose not to report it upstairs until Marie collins reported him, 10 years later too late. But the damage was done hugely. Their weekly church takings fallen from 900 a week to 200 a week but still paid their debt re new church bulit in 1970.

The True Church has been around for over 2000 years and will be here for a long time yet.
We are the Church of the poor as we were first with Social Services and then along came the Salvation Army however the difference is the RCC never blows its own trumpet.
As for marriages the RCC does not do quick marriages as we see it as a Sacrament so it is six months notices and a pre marriage course about the Sacrament.
As for Boris he did his course online for his marriage and also for the baptism of his son.
The days are gone just come along and you get what you want as we have even changed Funerals so if the deceased did not believe or want a Requiem Holy Mass then they can have a Funeral Service.
I am sure Bishop Pat would marry you within the statutory times but sadly the RCC will not even if you are a millionaire.
Courses for Baptism, Holy Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation and Marriage and they are a must.
As for parents not wanting to educate their children in the Faith there is plenty of parish volunteers that would assist families all safeguarded protected.

reports that the RC priest who married Johnson & Symonds used to be
@churchofengland
priest till 2012. It does not add that, according to RC doctrine, he never was a real priest till 2012. Former non-real priest conducts wedding of man of two former non-real marriages.(that’s from twitter).

Key takeaways from Marie collins article on Canon laws & penal code changes.

1. it’s a “very disappointing document – no zero tolerance, no mandatory reporting.”

2.clergy could be punished very severely if they did not report internally to the Church authorities, “but there was no mention whatsoever of them having to report to civil authorities so nothing has changed there sadly.

3.there are lists of penalties for various infringements and offences, but nowhere does it say they will be applied or they must be applied.

“The one that really sticks with me is, as far as abusing a child is concerned, it says that a priest can be removed from office, he can be laicised, where the case calls for it, now that wording for me means that it will be left to a judgement call to the individual bishops, how they actually punish a priest, which means you don’t have any consistency or standard across the Church.

4.Caveats “litter” the document, she said.

“If you take the headlines out of it, it looks very good, it looks as if the Church is moving on, but when you read it in detail, it’s not.”

Do not believe everything you read in the media.
Boris Johnson’s wedding was checked out by the area Bishop and was all above board.
Marie Collins has picked what she wants and that is sad because the first person to get called is not the Bishop it is the POLICE and the Priest is suspended immediately and he can be innocent but the rules are police first.
Also even if the courts and the police decide to take NO action some Bishops have guys c/0 who have been cleared by the officials but the Bishops will not let them officiate in their dioceses.
I am disappointed as I gave you credit for being kind and understanding and here is you believing what is not true.
They cannot sell papers if they put the true facts out there.
I know innocent priests who have been cleared by the courts yet the Bishops will not let them say Mass again but maybe Rome will overstep the Bishop one guy has been waiting 8 years.

The anti-retrovirals which have changed the landscape for people with HIV, and for the possibility of transmission of the virus, is truly remarkable and welcome. However, I have a couple of reservations. For HIV people there is no option but for them to take these treatments. But, I do find the uncritical thinking about taking medication for life somewhat shortsighted. If you are taking chemicals, which have beneficial effects certainly, there is a high likelihood that they will also have some sort of negative side effect Secondly, I worry a little about how the rate of transmission which is cut dramatically by these drugs can tend to lead HIV people, and others, to believe that there is no problem and that they do not need to be cautious in how and with whom they have sex, particularly unprotected / bareback sex. There are still a good deal of other nasty things out there that can cause trouble down below ! My observation is that amongst gay men, in particular, unprotected sex is increasingly common and accepted, in great part because of the seeming protection these drugs bestow in respect of HIV. My worry is that something else will come along and do damage, even if HIV is largely tamed. In general, however, I rejoice at these treatments and wish my friends with HIV long and happy lives.

Actually 12:11, PrEp (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is not the same as taking these drugs if you have HIV already and in order to keep you alive. Neither is it the same as PEP (post exposure prophylaxis) which is taken after exposure to HIV and to prevent it taking hold. PrEp is taken by someone who does not have HIV, and wants to avoid getting it, and is sexually active in such a way that they might catch it. It is a prophylactic to prevent infection. Now, if a priest is taking PrEp under these circumstances, you do have to ask why ? There is only one explanation. This priest is sexually active. Something not right there, surely ? I’m not sure his Bishop would think this is right for a priest.

Lol our medical history is confidential to medical professionals and disclosed on a need to know basis.
I would remind you that all of the revelations about clerical misbehaviour here are the result of their own leak or things getting into the public domain.
If someone not within the bounds of professional confidentiality knows that a priest is taking PrEP I will bet it is because the priest has told someone.
That ceases to be under confidentiality and places a duty to tell the priest’s bishop that his behaviour is not concordant with his celibacy. It is also no longer solely his own business.
The result of that would almost certainly be nothing so the person may as well just tell Bishop Pat.
In fact other people probably know, these priests are terrible gossips. In fact telling a trusted colleague you are on PrEP is akin to putting pictures of your genitals on Grindr.
I sense your outrage at this is misguided. Yes medical information is sacrosanct but that should not be used as a cloak for yet another priest leading a double life.

As you said, these commenter are doing something which is “appalling, downright immoral, entirely unethical and gravely sinful.” B ut is not Pat doing the same thing by allowing the comments to be published. I have long been a supporter of yours Pat but you are thrown these young lads to the wolves and that is very unfair of you.. You are- quite frankly- playing into the hands of your enemies and behaving like a troll.

Pat your sources are in grave danger. Several Priests and Seminarians feel they are being watched and under threat.
