[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't risk giving people HIV with blood transfusions, even if it cures their Ebola. Those people (now HIV positive who weren't before) would go on to infect other people with HIV, and you've just replaced one problem with another. In any case, Liberia doesn't have the capacity to get everyone suffering from Ebola a bed and Tylenol, so getting them all serum isn't going to happen, either, unfortunately.[/quote] For crying out loud. Many Africans are encouraged to breastfeed even with HIV, because it's less risky than feeding infants formula made with contaminated water. HIV is a terrible disease, but there are worse things (well, more rapidly fatal things) out there. [/quote] Many Africans are encouraged to breastfeed with HIV because breastfeeding under certain specific circumstances reduces rather than increases the rate of transmission of the virus.[/quote]
