The problem with AIDS is that it kills too slowly, giving them lots of time to spread it.

If we are going orwellian nutball here, I woukd rather they all be fitted with internal implants that dispense liquid meds every day. If they fail to get them refilled when needed, it dispenses two warnings of stuff that gives them a headache, third time a toxin.

what if folks with aids paid for their own medications instead of taxpayers picking up the bill? (for those aids patients on welfare/medicaid)

My initial thought was that they want to keep them alive so they can vote, but they vote when they are dead, so I guess it’s not that.

What if folks with HIV had to face up to the consequences of their actions?

The prospect of living isn't enough for them?
