Any "normal" society would have said "Stop having anal sex" when AIDS first appeared, but not this one, because AIDS is not a disease, but a civil rights status.
PC triumphs over public health, every time.
Good point. However, I've been learning something about this new Avian Flu, H5N1 virus, which is now endemic in Asia. Sooner or later, (it's been around since 1997) it will make the jump to human-to-human transmissibility. The CDC has just issued a warning about the massive health threat it poses to the world.
It's my opinion that if/when the pandemic starts, every single available health dollar with go to treatment and containment of this deadly flu. And the HIV+ folks will be left holding a very short straw, because no one will care about their "feelings" anymore.
