Yes actually he was right
HIV is an extremely fragile virus and will not survive in the presence of high amounts of oxygen, ie in the air.
Only once it's in the body does it proliferate and cause an immune system shutdown or severe weaking. Also, your assumption that HIV causes death is incorrect. AIDS does not kill, it just weakens you. You know what AIDS sufferers die from mostly? Common colds and infections that lead to pneumonia etc because their body cannot fight off even the weakest of diseases.
There's a reason why it's called the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

so please, continue to have unprotected sex
Wrong. It's the easiest way to get HIV/AIDS. Vaginal and testicular secretions do infact transmit the disease easier than blood. Blood will often have cells in there which can fight off the disease or at least attempt to, unlike other bodily fluids (minus lymph).
Remember all those PSAs that ran in schools and such saying that it was ok to share food/drink with people with AIDS? I bet their kicking themselves in the ass now.

Yeah I forgot some things. I just drew it out of memory and somehow missed England, Greenland, Iceland and stuff.

found this on an aids info site...
Get the facts. Not having sexual intercourse is the most effective way to avoid STDs, including HIV/AIDS. For teens who choose to be sexually active, these prevention measures lower your risk of an HIV infection.
* Avoid alcohol and drugs. Their use can cause you to make sexual choices you wouldn't make sober. * Only engage in sexual activity that does not involve vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
* Have intercourse with only one uninfected partner.
* Use a latex condom every time you have sexual intercourse of any kind.
no more oral anal vaginal, I guess we are only left with hj's, zj'z and ej's.
