Jere:
     Thank you for your reply to my comment. 
     Yes, I got effective treatment just in the nick of time.
     I gad dementia and no longer recognized my wife and my T-Cell count had reached zero. The test for the quantity of virus showed that there was more virus then the test could measure.
     So HIV wise; Of the 25+ million people who have died of AIDS, none of them could have  had worse HIV test results than myself. It is not possible to have less than no T-cells and these are the blood cells killed by the virus.
       As far as the blood was concerned,  I had a bag of blood on each side of the bed going into both arms. The bags had tags on them stating that the blood was tested for HIV in the U.S.
     But they were also giving me clotting factor to control the bleeding which was made from whole blood.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/thursday-funnies-201/#comment-251844&quot;&gt;Dead Men Tell No Tales Bill Straass&lt;/a&gt;.

I just had a few more realizations about this cycle:  The failure of ship personnel to get medical treatment for myself endangered the lives of other staff on the ship, namely my 2 wives. I never used condoms prior to finding out I was HIV+ as my wives used other means of birth control. My first wife Sharron Webber has been the COFSSO since 1995. I heard that she tested negative for HIV within days of my testing positive. This was clearly correct as otherwise she would have been dead by now. Since I worked in the Engine Room, I had some injuries which caused bleeding. There was usually no one else around and the only way it could be contagious is if my blood got in another persons cut or break in the skin. I have a blood test ordered by Dr Denk in my posession which was done a few months after I left the ship. It shows my viral load (the quantity of virus in the blood) to be higher than the test could measure. It also shows my T-cell count ( the blood cells that HIV kill which destroys the immune system) to be undetectable. Any count below 200 is considered to be AIDS; mine was zero. As it takes an average of 10 years of untreated HIV for the test levels to get this bad, this confirms that I had HIV for the last 13 years I was on the ship. I was sent off the ship within 24 hours of them finding out that I had tested positive. 
     However the cowards did not tell me that I had tested positive or to take precautions against spreading the virus that people are told to do when they are found to be positive for HIV. The Captain did not want me to tell my wife as she likely would have insisted on going to LA with me. Even then it is probable that they planned to keep her on the ship until I was dead. As I had all the symptoms of full-blown AIDS the doctor would have known that the HIV was advanced. I was told several days later by Dr Denk that I had tested positive. Since he had done no testing himself, it was clear that he was told that I had tested positive by persons on the ship. In the US, one has to sign a form consenting to the HIV test and any person testing positive is to get counseled on what that means and what to do next. But, as we were not in the US they were not leagally required to inform me. Since they had not told me that I had been tested for HIV in the first place I did not know to ask for the result of the test.
    In order to be legal to work on the ship crew have to have physical exams every year or 2. My physicals were done by the ship&#039;s doctor and I always passed.  However, there was not much to them and there was no blood work. 
Later when my wife started working on ships again, she told me that she got another HIV test as part of the physical exam. And she never told her employers that I had HIV. Therefore, it is probable that the physicals I received on the Freewinds did not meet legal requirements. There is more but this comment is getting overly long already.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jere (2nd part of comment)  In 1996 in the US there was a settlement for those who had gotten HIV from blood products. Every hemophiliac with HIV got $200,000. I had HIV at that time and had symptoms by then but being on the ship I had no knowledge about it.
     Well, I have gotten a couple million dollars in clotting factor and HIV meds since I left the ship. 
     Saved the Chuch a lot of money in the end since I found out a month before I left that they had taken me off of the crew list so as to prevent their insurance premium from going up in 1989 when I had the ulcer. This explains why I never got a Chief Engineers license on the ship when several of my juniors did.
     I worked the last 13 years on the ship and I was not even on the crew list. I should check with Social Security, if they told them I did not exist then they broke some laws.
     I do not expect to ever get a windfall but if I ever did I would give a large amount to Mike to help his actions.
    My &quot;windfall&quot; was getting HIV and getting FBed out of the SO. 
    Had I stayed another year I would have been dead anyway, probably a suicide, even without HIV.]]></description>

Jenyfurrr: Thank you for your comment. Yes, I imagine that some in the cult are sorry now that they did not hold on to me until I was dead. Just &quot;Google&quot; my name and either AIDS Scientology HIV or Freewinds and you will see the videos I made with Karen de la Carriere and the articles I wrote for Scncult.com. In my not so humble opinion, they are too covert. If they wanted to kill someone; they should have continued until they were dead. 
     Actually, they continued their actions long enough. It is a concatination of miracles that I am still alive.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jere:
      Thank you for your comment.
  To address your points in a logical sequence: 1. I started receiving proper medical treatment in Feb 2003. I was close to death at that time and certainly would have been dead in a few months had I not gotten treatment then.
      2.  The blood bags I received (I had one on each side of the bed in the hospital going in both arms) had tags on them saying they were tested for HIV in the United States. I do not believe my HIV came from the actual blood. However, as I am a hemophiliac,( which is why I lost so much blood in the 1st place); I was also getting the clotting factor that my body does not make. This clotting factor was made in the Netherlands using donated blood. As the tests for HIV only measures antibodies to HIV and not the virus itself; there was a loophole in the testing as it can take 6 weeks or more after getting HIV before one would test positive from the test. Not only that, but the dumb asses mixed the donated blood with a thousand other donations before seperating out the clotting factor. This is why 85% of the hemophiliacs in the world died in the 80&#039;s. My Hemophilia doctor&#039;s patients now are mostly little kids because most of the adults are dead. Of course the doctors knew all this by 1989 and they also knew that HIV could be killed by heat treating the clotting factor. However, this cost a lot of money and I read much later that many people got HIV simply because the companies making the factor decided to save money and not heat-treat it. (I will split this reply into 2 parts so as not to risk losing it.]]></description>
