I guess loving you really was a dirty job and he really was the man to do it

The blonde guitarist for RATT was checked into a hospital in order to help in his fight against aids. he's had it since 1994 and b/c of the dormancy factor he isn't sure how long before then he had it.

the stuff you learn on the morning talk shows on the way into work is fascinating.

Damn. When you say dormancy, do you mean he showed no signs or symptoms but never got tested, or do you mean he tested negative, but it never showed up on the test results.

not sure since I just heard it on the news. I'd presume that it wasn't showing signs so he didn't get tested - but it is scary to think if it were the former.
I'm sure a web search could turn up the correct answer, but I'm currently too tired and will continue to instead sit at my desk staring blnkly at the screen until someone I work with either asks me to do something, or tell sme I can go home.

The HIV test looks for your body's antibody fight against the virus,
so the virus has to be around for a while before your antibodies show up in the test.
Some speculate that latency period could be as much as 3-6 months.
So you have unprotected sex today and catch something, your tests won't show positive for another 3-6 months.
And then you probably won't have disease symptoms for another year to 5 years.
That's why it spread so easily thru the gay community in the early days,
nobody knew it was out there until after it had already spread widely.
