Although you may have a point, I think that became a moot point with Don't Ask Don't Tell. I also know that many of the young recruits are heavy drinkers, which increases their chances of having Hepatitis C, a much bigger short term problem than HIV. HIV is controlled with meds, Acute Hep C is Hell.

There are many other concerns of blood born illnesses, besides HIV, that in the end I would take an alive HIV carrier (if my husband ever needed an in battle transfusion) than a dead husband. As someone who has worked in the health care field for 15 years, I can guarantee I am much more at risk than he is.

What is the point of this person using Spanish in an English forum?

Yo tambien hablo EspaNol, idioata! But I respect the fact 99.9% of us use English here. Be polite "maricon."

(He,it, whatever, is in favor on ending the policy "dont ask don't tell).
