But if McDonald's made their cheeseburgers so they tasted like shit

IF????? Everything at McDonalds tastes like shit. Try eating some real food and you will taste the difference.
Totally off topic I know, but i gave up junkfood to lose a few lbs, and when I reached my goal I thought I would treat my self. I tossed most of it in the trash, went home and cooked some good food.

A little over a year ago I gave my mother LibreOffice, and just told her it was the newest version of MS office. No problems and I don't have to feel bad about pirating MS office.
To be honest I probably had fewer questions than if I had pirated a copy of Office 2010, because it doesn't have that horrible ribbon interface. Changing the interface will completely baffle a 60 something woman.

It's been found through studies of cases like yours that 'vanilla' couples sex, where the partners are otherwise healthy apart from one being HIV+ have well under a percent (.3% IIRC) rate per act of transmitting HIV.

I can tell you that we were quite vigorous, and on more than one occasion I did see a hint of pink afterwords. On at least one occasion I know I was a bit rubbed raw.
Honestly I was a bit surprised when the doctor told me I was negative. In fact I didn't really believe it until after the second test.

For something that is literally going to be involved in making life and death decisions, such a large error rate is unacceptable.

As compared to the error rate inherent in, "Well, I feel healthy."
As someone who has had the experience of having my GF tell me she had just tested positive. Then having to go see the doctor, then the blood test, then wait for results. I had the first Dr. appointment of the day and the doctor was running late. I nearly lost my mind waiting.
I think a test like this would have saved me a lot of stress.
In case anyone cares, my test came back negative, and again 6 months later.
This was almost 20 years ago and testing HIV+ was pretty much a death sentence back then.

I am cheering. I am sure I am not alone.
There is a system in place. I don't see any reason for a new law. I personally would bet that any law enforcement official asking a judge for a warrant for a pedo case is going to get their warrant in a flash.
Deserved or not, pedophiles are the biggest boogiemen of our time.
