Karen Stagliano is pregnant … again.
Opinion/Editorial Darrah Ford - April 22, 2010



Karen and her husband John Stagliano are both HIV positive. Karen has been HIV positive since 1998 while John has been since 1997.

They already have a biological nine-year-old daughter when they both knew their HIV status. Luckily the child came through it healthy and wasn’t infected by her parents. No condoms or protection of any kind. Selfishness running amok without a care in the world to the health & safety of their unborn baby. Not only do both parents have HIV, but they both take very powerful drugs that has kept them as healthy as they’ve been throughout all these years.

Now Karen is four months pregnant. You can read about it on her XCritic blog.

John’s obscenity trial starts this summer. Karen’s doctor has put her on temporary bed rest but she plans on flying to be with him this summer when she’ll be six months pregnant. This is an already high-risk pregnancy. But adding flying to it all doesn’t faze anyone.

Who are these doctors that treat women who continue to get pregnant knowing full well their HIV status? Is it the money that makes these “doctors” turn a blind eye to Russian Roulette? Karen and John were extremely lucky that nothing horrific happened to their daughter. Now they want to test fate again and have another child. Children are born everyday addicted to drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. Then you have the other children born with whatever lesser STDs they contracted from their parents. Who are these doctors that keep on approving of Karen Stagliano’s pregnancies? Why does she think she’s entitled to keep on having biological children? Adopt or take in foster children. You have the money to help so many children who desperately need homes. Why would you role the dice again by having another child?

What if John is convicted of all charges and is sent to prison? Karen is then left to raise two children on her own while her husband serves out a prison sentence. Why bring another child into all of this at this time?

Is there some sort of magic pill that wealthy people take that will create healthy babies even though both parents are HIV positive? Because since no one in the Stagliano household is practicing responsibility and using some sort of protection, then maybe someone else can invest in this miracle treatment that will help all the less fortunate children who are born HIV positive every single day in this country and around the world.

So, Durfah, the doctors are supposed to do what? Refuse treatment and ensure the porno papoose emerges unhealthy?

Shine on, you lazy dimwit.

The magic is all in the placenta, which keeps the mother's blood separate from the child's, and protects the child from the transmission of illnesses.

Children acquire HIV during the traumatic, blood-soaked natural birthing process. Delivery by elective caesarian section reduces risk of HIV transmission by 2/3.

Yup, congrats and best wishes to 'em. I'd think a college educated journalist would check facts for things like this, but we are talking about Darrah here.

I believe they also use a regimen of drugs to massively reduce the chance of HIV being passed on to the child. Apparently the procedure is not that rare or difficult. This has to be one of the most retarded things I've ever read.

Why does she harp on about the use of condoms, how they hell are they supposed to have a kid while using a condom?

You guys are missing the point. It doesn't matter how much you reduce the chance of infection being transferred to a baby. It can happen, that's all that matters.

I'm halfway tempted to post this over at ADT however,

1. My balls do not set off sparks as they drag along the sidewalk when I walk.

2. The thread would have all the staying power of a bottle rocket before it would get locked/deleted.

Amber:

Wow. You get dumber everyday. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Many HIV positive couples have children, healthy, well-adjusted children, without issue. Who the hell are you to tell people who should or should not procreate? Are you God? A doctor? Are you someone even mildly informed on the subject? Or are you just a judgmental, ill-informed idiot with no life?
I can think of 1000 reasons people should not have children, but HIV necessarily isn’t one of them.
Does Mrs. Stagliano not deserve to be a mother because she had the extreme misfortune of contracting HIV? Should people who have cancer, herpes, HPV, congenital heart disease, obesity, hypertension, and any other life-threatening, hereditary, or sexually transmitted disease also not have children? What about the drug addicts and people with mental illness or incapacity who have children everyday? Are you going to admonish them too? Or are you just reserving your ignorant judgment for the Staglianos? Have you heard anything about their child being unhealthy or unbalanced? WHO ARE YOU?? I don’t understand you. You must live in the biggest glass house on the planet. Do some research before you publish this pointless drivel. You act like you live with them in their daily lives. And Jesse, Sandra, Janine, Jenna, etc. Know-it-all. While it’s ok to have an opinion, you act like you actually know these people. Just stop already, “Darrah”. Your skewed viewpoint is harmful and hurtful.


Alison Hart:

What right do you have to pass judgment on Karen Stagliano? She is a woman you don’t know and will never meet, and yet you think you have the right to tell her that she is not fit to have a child.

As you mention, Karen is on antiretroviral drugs. There is only a 2% chance that she could pass the disease on to her child (via the CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/perinatal) and I’m guessing that since their daughter is 9 years old and they haven’t had any babies in the meantime that they were using some kind of contraception and it failed. The method you mention – condoms – have a failure rate of 8-10%.

You should be ashamed of yourself for writing things like this about people whose lives you don’t know the first thing about. Karen Stagliano – and everyone else who works in the adult industry – is a person. A person who has feelings and has never done anything to you – certainly nothing that justifies spewing this kind of hate at her and her family. Try to keep that in mind the next time you decide to write a nasty editorial without doing basic research or knowing anything about the situation you have such a strong opinion about.

Improper punctuation was the answer I got. I don't trust them though, just a feeling.

Darrah Ford - April 23, 2010

No I don’t live in a glass house but I’m not HIV positive and having biological children putting their lives in danger. Last I checked, there is NO CURE. The advancements have made people live longer but there still isn’t a cure. She can adopt or take in foster children.

They are both 12 and 13 years into their HIV status. This could put her body at her age in severe stress mode and add to that the upcoming trial with all that added stress. Stress alone is bad on a baby. But the mother is also HIV positive and both she and her husband take very powerful drugs that has made them live as long as they have and as healthy as they have been.

The trial could also drain them financially. What if John is convicted or pleads out. Then Karen is stuck alone with raising two children, possibly no money to pay for her treatments and raise her two kids.

They got married about a year and a half ago. Now she’s pregnant. Seems like a ploy because of John’s upcoming trial. Someone told me they probably only got married after all these years because if anything happens to him because of the trial, the daughter is finally legal and the money will automatically go to her with Karen overseeing the fund. Now a baby? Maybe a ploy so to tell a judge you can’t put him away because he now has a new baby to take care of. I highly doubt this was John’s idea. His freedom is on the line and he thinks what a great idea it would be to have another child now?

My cousin has Hepatitis and still had a baby. The family also thinks she’s a prostitute because how else could she afford all the drugs she was once on. Her daughter didn’t contract any STDs but she was very late with her speech. She’s 4 now and still can’t talk in full sentences like everyone else in her school. She’s also extremely violent. As I said, she’s only 4. Why can’t she talk normally like all the other kids her age and why is she so extremely violent? The father is now HIV positive but he seems to have contracted HIV after she was born.

I never thought John should be on trial. He’s not Max Hardcore or someone in that field. If they’re going after him of all people, whose next? Steve Hirsch?

After the buffet closed, she logged in and was full of glee that people might have been talking about her:

ADT regulars? Was there a post pulled mentioning me? Lots of referrals from them but the post is down, Can still access the forum though.

I have a feeling what was mentioned and she can pull posts because she and administrators are good friends. Thanks for any help.

@MissMeredithR No, on the porn forum ADT. I got a lot of referrals from them today but the post is down and I don't know what topic was




There was a thread started by someone using "redgoat" for a name that quoted the above editorial but didn't give credit to Darrah IIRC. I saw it maybe 3 minutes after it was posted.
