Thanks. I think he's an important figure — interesting too. Trezatium 17:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The structure is still quite muddled but I'm fed up with working on it for now. Trezatium 19:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly attempts at safer sex were practised hundreds, if not thousands, of years before AIDS, albeit without the same level of knowledge. Also, no rationale is given as to why a multifactoral model is more likely to suggest the use of condoms than a single-entity infectious agent model (which is, indeed, how the rationale ultimately played out).

The reason why a multifactorial model could suggest condom use in 1983 was that it proposed that the disease was acquired by a cumulative process so that a single broken condom could be tolerated. On the other hand, a single sexual exposure to the postulated infectious agent, according to the single-entity model, was commonly viewed at that time to have lethal consequences. The risk of a broken condom was not easily acceptable to those who proposed that "a killer virus" could cause disease on a single exposure. The more general acceptance of condoms about 2 years after they were first suggested may possibly have depended on a growing understanding, with greater experience that sexual exposure was not followed by infection 100% of the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djorman (talkcontribs) 18:02, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

He also composed music, some of which can be heard on YouTube. The New York Times mentions his musical abilities in its obituary, February 1, 2021. Cunningpal (talk) 22:34, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
