Back when HIV was first diagnosed, the medical community said there could never be a cure for it because it is a virus (like the common cold). The LGBT community rallied to demand the pharmaceutical companies come up with a cure. Monies that had been allocated for cancer cures were diverted to HIV. (Squeaky wheels get oiled).
The socialist government structure that took over the research scene was a worse problem than that of concentrating private benevolences upon HIV sufferers.
We might not even know the long term consequences. We say it might have detracted from cancer cures. But modern medicine knows that many cancers are brought on by viruses, and that others could be influenced by viruses. Study focused upon viruses may not be in vain after all.
If I were to bring a message to those ensnared in this kind of sexual sin, it would be that the devil has also virused their souls, but that also at least I would be willing to put in the effort to help any willing person look for answers to soul viruses from the Great Physician, even at the risk of being called fag lover, or one of misdirected attention, or worse.
There’s a super syphilis out, and one that causes blindness. May be the same thing.
