At least there isn't another DCAP drag show planned. And I don't see a Madonna-themed condom give-away on the docket this time.

STRS: You ARE aware that HIV is not just a “gay” disease? Maybe not. Many innocent children are born with the disease. Many women contract the disease from partners who don't tell them they are HIV positive. Many who have HIV don't contract it through their own poor choices.

appleaday,
I am fully aware. I'm just making a comment on how ridiculous DCAP's fundraising and awareness campaigns have been in the past. Drag shows and Madonna-themed condom giveaways may be catchy for the radical fringe, but these promotional tactics are repulsive to mainstream Douglas County residents.

the cure for hiv/aids…….ambush
the idea that AMBUSH cures AIDS
is being proven by the more than 400 individuals who have taken a dose of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. The result is that ambush 'kills' the virus by causing the protein envelope to rupture and the viral particles are discarded by the white blood cells. AMBUSH is able to 'KILL' the virus that are 'hiding' in the lymph system by its 'natural radioactive' properties. This process allows the body to 'return to normal health' with a corresponding immunity to that or those strains of the virus.
What is AMBUSH ?
AMBUSH is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is found in the 'palm' plant of which there are more than 3000 species. When ingested, AMBUSH causes the body temperature in the trunk area to rise to about 102 degrees when the individual is sleeping. The preparation takes four hours per batch, which is then given to the individuals for consumption 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. AMBUSH is a herbal preparation in this form but it contains an active ingredient which is a 'NEW' crystalline substance, a drug from the 'palm plant' similarly to aspirin originating from the willow tree bark

Is this your religious reason for me having to take care of those that infect themselves?
