A few years back (more like 7 or 8), I read an article in Esquire about AIDS-Deniers. These are people who believe that AIDS is a hoax rather than a disease. As a result, they shun all treatment for their "nonexistent" disease. Mixed in with them are other leftist loonies. One case in particular stuck with me: a student (who had been HIV negative) purposely had unprotected sex with an HIV positive man to make a "political" statement. Hopefully, this loser kept on being an AIDS denier--at least then, society wouldn't have had to pay big $$ to keep his sorry butt alive.
That's downright pathological. Sad.
