    Excuse my ignorance but can you get AIDS from an infected persons saliva? i.e. if I was to french-kiss an AIDS infected person I could get AIDS???

    Would you be willing to french-kiss aperson with AIDS to see if you catch it?

    Oh, I didn't even look to see who's posted it.

    It was a general statement actually, most of us (including moi) come to AH to talk sh*t.

    But using your argument re. the minister on the range. A soldier only has to do this exercise (and its discontinued now so far as I know) once when he/she is travelling oversea's.

    The hearing damage was caused from years of the government sending troops on range practice & live firing exercises without sufficent hearing protection, despite knowing that to do so was causing substantial damage to soldiers hearing.

    You cant tell by looking at someone whether or not they have HIV/AIDS!

    Well I think definitely not with HIV but apparently to some if people look like they're from Nigeria then you can be pretty sure they have it and if they go anywhere near you and sometime later you discover you've somehow been scratched you should go and get an AIDS test.

    I'm sorry, but I didn't get that impression of people from this thread.

    I was stabbed by a junkie in a mugging attempt several years ago.
    I got myself tested as a precaution on the off chance that our blood mixed, in the scuffle that ensued.
    Speaking for myself if I thought I had been bitten by someone I would get tested again and make no apologies for it, be they white black red or green I don't care where someone is from!

    Anyhow with you it isn't even Nigerians or Africans in question, it's all 'black' people. I think we know where you stand.

    If you have something to say, say it so I can ban you.

    You generally need several exposures to HIV to contract it.

    That depends greatly on how you define a single exposure.
    I am surprised you could pin her down..have you seen the size of those Nigerian women especially the ones with children...

    No more of these comments thanks.

    Guards are taken care of if they're injured on duty. Probably even if they're off duty. They have their lunches bought for them, everything. Do you really think the state would just abandon one of their prise pigs? Their insured up the wahzoo.

    What station are these Gardaí in that have their lunches bought for them?
    Coz I have friends and relatives who are Gardaí and they don't have their lunches bought for them.

    We buy our own lunches. Any insurance is obtained and maintained privately as is our medical care.

    My other question was "Who takes care of them?"- any answers.

    Gotta love your naivete though!

    In the reports I read it said he was unsure of whether he was scraped or bitten. Whats wrong with erring on the side of caution?

    Well the reports I've read implied he was perhaps scraped. Really I don't allow that anybody can be bitten by a human hard enough to draw blood and not know about it. I've been bitten a good few times and even without the skin being broken it leaves bruising where the teeth marked.

    There's nothing at all wrong with erring on the side of extreme caution apart from it strikes me as neurotic, some people are like that by nature and I couldn't really blame them for it. What I have issue with is that they deserve €15,000 for being like that. Even if he'd contracted AIDS, in the west it's now merely a chronic disease with a normal life expectancy. To my mind he's got the amount of compensation he'd deserve had he actually contracted it.

    Honestly I can understand getting paid time off for trauma, but getting 15k and paid time off cause you got a scratch is taking the piss slightly.. :eek::eek:

    I'm not talking about his compensation I don't think he should necessarily have gotten 15,000 either, what I am trying to assert is that his getting tested was neither paranoid, racist or neurotic. I don't think its something that one should be nonchalant about even if the chances of contracting HIV/AIDS is remote.

    I think I'd know if someone put their chops around my arm, seriously - "I dont know if she bit me or scraped me".. it wasnt a stampede of Nigerian women it was one.

    As someone else said in the heat of the moment he may not have felt it.
    I have in the past sustained injuries I havent noticed until the adrenaline wore off!

    Look Bray, let's be honest, members of the Gardai do have a lot of privileges, from cheaper pizzas in certain pizza shops (I know because I've worked in them) to the Gardai Credit Union. Don't say the job does not come without the perks.

    Now the main question I put to you regarding this is: When you sign up to be a Garda, are you not aware of the potenial dangers involved with the job and if so why should this Garda be compensated?

    As mentioned earlier in the thread, it's like a Fireman getting compensated for smoke inhalation.

    This could be the basis of a new RTE game show:

    Men dress up in Garda uniforms and chase naked, histerical women down main streets in towns across the country. Whoever catches the woman quickest wins 15k.

    I'd watch it!

    I don't think so.....

    So if they bite me, how do I get AIDS, unless they have a bloody injury to their mouth, which I'm sure would have been noticed.

    Technically you can contract aids from most bodily fluids, saliva being one. What you can contract very easily and is more common is hep. Someone could spit in your face and you could get it.

    How can you not see that he's just some chancer? I'm sure in both those cases the pain was noticable immediately and didn't subside. I've busted my nose, my leg and my collarbone before now, hurts some but you don't know they're broken right away. By contrast any time I've had a serious cut the flowing blood made it apparent immediately. Have gone without noticing scrapes for a long while, even days.

    With 6 billion people in this world, you think everyone experiences things the same? :eek:

    Also, why is everyone pissed off at the copper, get annoyed at the system, it's the systems fault not the coppers.

    Ah sure it's ok to get aids in the west then, it won't effect your life at all... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    He didn't deny being injured, he was unsure how the injury was caused, which is perfectly understandable... well for most it is.

    That answers my earlier question, I guess. Couldn't argue with that.

    I pay my own insurance.....in case I get bitten by naked women.

    How is the Credit Union a privelage though?

    Are the Gardai CU rates the same as a normal CU?

    Also if you can answer the main question I put to Bray, these privileges were merely OT.

    Understandable,I read the paper a few months ago about a similar case,it runined the coppers personel life.It took 6 months to get the results,and he broke up with his long term girlfriend over the stress and all that.

    Its not as simple as you seeing the cut,going to the doctor and living your live as normal until the results come out.The mental trauma must be something serious.
