“I haven’t stopped smiling,” the singer wrote after meeting his new furry family member.

Thanks to technology, the field of medicine has advanced greatly, but there are still diseases out there that have a certain stigma attached to them, such as HIV. Due to this stigma, when it comes to choosing a sperm donor, many would typically steer clear of donors who have been tested positive for the disease.

However, over in New Zealand, in a bid to reduce stigma, the country has since launched what is possibly the world’s first HIV positive sperm bank. The sperm bank begun with three male donors from New Zealand who are living with HIV, but they have an undetectable viral load, meaning that the amount of the HIV virus in their blood is so low that it cannot be detected by standard methods.

While this does not mean that they have been cured, it has been suggested that the treatment for their HIV disease is working well enough to the point where the virus cannot be passed on. This means that if their sperm is selected by would-be parents, the resulting baby would not be affected by it, and barring other medical conditions, the baby should still be born without any issues.

That being said, the clinic will of course inform people and make it abundantly clear that the sperm they are about to receive are from donors with HIV, but at the same time are being treated to the point where it is safe enough that the virus will not be able to be passed down to their children.

These days, finding a dual SIM smartphone is pretty easy, whereby both SIM card slots can support dual LTE connectivity. The same cannot be said for 5G, at least not yet, but MediaTek thinks that come 2020, we can start to expect dual SIM 5G smartphones thanks to the company’s new Dimensity 5G system-on-chip.

According to MediaTek, they claim that the Dimensity 1000 will be the first SoC that will be capable of supporting 5G on both SIMs, where you will be able to enjoy the speeds of 5G without compromising or sacrificing speed. The company boasts that its chipset will be capable of achieving downstream speeds of up to 4.7Gbps, and upstream speeds of up to 2.5Gbps on sub-6GHz 5G networks.

That being said, the company does not mention which phones will be using its new chipsets, so we’ll have to wait and see. Even then, we should point out that if it wasn’t already obvious, MediaTek’s place in the SoC market isn’t quite as dominant compared to the likes of Qualcomm.

The majority of the mainstream and flagship phones we are seeing in the market today are typically powered by Qualcomm, so don’t expect to see these chipsets find their way into flagship devices from Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus, LG, or Google. We expect that Qualcomm is probably working on a similar solution so we probably won’t have to wait too long to see that materialize either.
