Poor guy.  To have to live like that for 20 years.  I can't even imagine.

That is amazing... I can easily say that is the worst case of genital warts I have ever seen.

Tree?

He is no tree.

He is an Ent.  :P

Seriously though I hope the Vitamin A injections totally reverse his condition as it must suck to live like that.  :-[

Dede's counts of a key type of white blood cell are so low that Dr Gaspari initially suspected he may have the Aids virus.
Do I need to explain the correct usage of the terms HIV and AIDS, or is it clear with everyone that the author is an idiot?

You wouldn't in either case, because I don't think anybody but you actually gives a fuck.

I have a new found respect for HPV and now will think about the tree man before sleeping with girls.

But yeah, that's fucked.  I actually felt a bit unsettled looking at the second pic, and that never happens.  If I was that guy I probably would have killed myself.

I'm sure if he came to the US we'd throw a camera at him and watch him run around major cities touching people as they freaked out. It would become a major hit.

I would watch that show.  Somebody get the Tree Man before he's cured, quick!

Hey isn't just a tree man! He is a goldmine.

OK Raisa was right about us.

Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been raising his two children - now in their late teens - in poverty, resigned to the fact that local doctors had no cure for his condition.

Ok, he couldn't continue working I understand, but his wife left him (WTF?) AND the kids??! What a fuckin' bitch! I understand it would be hard, but that's just fucked up. I mean that's when he needed her most man!

Now, as I understand it, HPV is generally transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact.. So does that mean anyone who has made direct contact with him is infected with some variant of HPV?

Yup, but his problem was genetic mutation. God help me, I want to see what he looks like again.

You must be too young to understand women.  That's not a fair statement.  It applies to men too.

There are exceptions.  But that's what they are, exceptions.

If my wife had that happen I'd bolt.  Don't get me wrong, I'd feel very bad about it, but let's be honest; I can barely look at the fucking pictures.

Anyways, look at the update at the top of the story.  Kind of fucked.

Nah. If you have a gazzilion Mona Lisas, they won't be priceless.
