This is just unmitigated horseshit.
To the extent "elite controllers" do not readily transmit HIV, that's
true and nice--but they reflect only (at most) about 7-10% of HIV+
people.
Second, HIV transmission globally is primarily heterosexual sex as its
mode of transmission. Anal sex is the easiest way and many hetero
couples enjoy this.
Certainly, risk factors like STIs and genital lesions increase risk as
does a higher viral load.
The problem with the testing programs proposed by HIV is that they
pretty much DITCH counseling which is vile, evil, stupid and moronic.
HIV disease is still stigmatized in the United States. It is still a
dangerous disease. Treatment can be complex and certainly have side
effects. Transmission to others will be GREATLY reduced with
appropriate counseling and follow up care.
It is yet another "technololgical fix" happy kind of boneheaded idea
one would expect by a corrupt CDC. Like Rumsfeld wants to fight wars
with too few troops, poorly outfitted and thinks it can all be done by
some computer-game style fix. And we see what that war, brought to us
on lies and BOTCHED by that miserable XXXXXXX and Cheney, Powell,
Rice, etc., has turned into.
It will be the same with this less directly but equally boneheaded
approach by the CDC.
