Discussion: Trump Will Announce Plans To Try To End HIV Transmission By 2030 In SOTU Speech

The transmission of it and not a cure for it? I mean this sounds more like prohibition for non-marital sex.

And he was supposed to give the speech weeks ago and it’s not finalized yet? No surprise really but damn!

Probably based on an idea from Mike Pence.

How quaintly retro. Of course it’s a pretty ambitious plan to change behaviors and it’s way off in the future, so it’s perfect, since he’ll be long gone after it fails. What he really wanted was to go to Mars by the end of his first term, but they had to tell him that wasn’t really realistic, because mentally he’s a 5-year-old. Ugh just not up for this today somehow.

Abstinence only writ large.

Obviously condoms will have to be banned.

He’ll pronounce it “hiv”.

What a great fucking humanitarian. Is he speaking for himself? i.e., he won’t infect anybody for the next 11 years?

It’s important to remember that any SOTU address is essentially a presidential wish list. If Donnie tries to do anything to restrict the purchase of condoms, the ACLU will smack him in court. Absinence-only sex Ed is a joke, and will only result in more risky sexual behavior by teens … Which raises the chances of HIV transmission.

From one of my favorite parody songs if they do allow condoms maybe only making small ones will help

Strangers in the night exchanging rubbers
This one’s too tight. I need another
This one is too loose… I’m losing all my juice

“devote resources to communities with the most infections.”

Wow! Nobody ever thought of that before! What revolutionary thinking! /s

And I wonder how he pronounces it will sound?

I hate his voice, and recently with clips of Trump pronouncing China it makes my skin crawl. I know it’s picky but…

Beat me to it

It’s a lock Trump has very little understanding of what HIV is, how it is transmitted, current treatments, or much of anything else about it. He’s most certainly just as ignorant about HIV as he is on all other subjects. Why he’s accorded any respect or legitimacy when he states he’s going to “do something” about any problem is weird. He’s unable to do anything, and the people he delegates any policy to are every bit the hack he is.

So he’ll practice safe sex when he cheats on his wife then? Every little helps I suppose.

Let’s take that $5.7B he wants for a “wall” and use it to buy out the manufacturers of Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir), and drop the price from $1400 per month here in the U.S. down to the $6 per month they pay in sub-Saharan Africa.

Think that’s going to be part of his “plan”?

Wanna bet he names those “communities”? Wanna bet the list looks something like:
“My African-Americans”
“My Hispanics”
My “Native Americans”,
My disgusting immigrants from sh**thole countries"
“My unpaid pornstars”

My God, this man is beyond the human pale.
