Lemon juice 'is HIV-killing spermicide'

http://www.newscientist.com/news/pri...?id=ns99992910

pretty interesting stuff

but a question comes up. if a woman doesn't have aids and a man does. and the woman knows this. why would she even have sex with him in the first place?!?!

Good call GZ..............., However,

There are things known as 'barebacking' parties among homosexual males, where partners know that their sexual partner is HIV pos or has full blown AIDS but they continue for the risk.........

Tha same exists amongst heterosexual males / females.........


Do you recall the NYTimes story on the guy producing the opiate derivative of Fentanyl in his cellar......... The drug became known as 'DOA' to the ER depts, as that is how 'patients' presented!

After a publicised TV warning...........usage increased!!!!!!! Man likes to take the risk !

the lemon juice method works probably like celibacy.

Once you lemon juice her, She never plays with you again.

There by reducing exposure to the virus.

The things that get discussed here! Makes me feel like I'm at work.. (well, I am actually... )

HIV is a very fragile virus, actually. Nearly any physical process that will destroy the protein cells it lives in will "kill" it. Detergent will "kill" HIV on a surface by removing the proteinaceous matter it lives in.

That said, the cells in which HIV lives can be taken into the body EXTREMELY rapidly in certain circumstances. Such as unprotected sex where there are abraded membranes involved. No amount of "after thought" can help in that situation, except for appropriate systemic anti-viral therapy.

And using lemon juice before unprotected intercourse just may cause abrading of the membranes.

So I doubt this will ever be recommended, IMO.
