- Australia discovers how to prevent transmission of HIV
- Posted by Martin
Checks calendar... Hmmm, it's not 1st April.
A wacky zoo doctor believes that, while examining penis foreskins,
he's discovered a way to prevent transmission of HIV.
Apparently the trick is to cover the penis in oestrogen (estrogen). I
don't doubt this idea will find itself in the bin alongside vaginal
douching with lemon juice.

Researchers believe the spread of HIV could be reduced with a
world-first discovery by the University of Melbourne.
A study by the university's Department of Zoology has found that
topical oestrogen could help prevent HIV infection by blocking entry
of the virus into the human penis.
HIV affects over 40 million people worldwide and is on the rise
particularly in countries where males are not circumcised.

Hold on a second! There is ESTIMATED to be 33.2 million HIVers
worldwide, and even in wealthy countries a third of them are believed
to be undiagnosed.

Dr Andrew Pask, of the Department of Zoology, made the discovery after
analysing tissue samples from 12 foreskins and finding the epithelium
of the human penis is richly supplied with oestrogen receptors.
Topical oestrogen was then applied to the foreskin in a two-week
trial, which resulted in a rapid and substantial increase in keratin
thickness.
Lead researcher Professor Roger Short, of the Faculty of Medicine,
Dentistry and Health Sciences, said using naturally occurring, weak
oestrogen could enhance keratin protection.
"We have found a new avenue to possibly prevent HIV infection of the
penis," he said.
"In countries where circumcision is not religiously or culturally
accepted, oestrogen treatments to the penis could be very effective in
reducing the spread of the disease."

I read that earlier and didn't bother posting it.
An Alfred Kinsey wannabe.
Next he'll be testing kids to see how many times he
can make a 7yo cum.

All in the name of HIV science. That pesky HIV is in there somewhere.
HIV gives these loons the perfect excuse to air their secret interests

That is where the funding came from so he had to come
up with something no matter how silly.
It is starting to remind me of an AIDS pride parade

Might be even more effective if the penis foreskin was not stuffed into a
butt raper's rectum.
