It never ceases to amaze me. We've had this disease on the social landscape since 1980. The forecasts, back then, of the great plague wiping out straights and gays alike never happened. It remains, as it did then, a problem for a select few: IV drug users and gay men.

Despite all the advances in drugs, 'the boys' continue to party, and only after they're positive do they realize, "Oh, hey, actions have consequences. Who'd a thunk!?"

I'm one of those hard hearted broads, I guess. I've lost too many friends to the disease (each contracted through irresponsibility and an almost arrogant disregard for cause and effect) to care any more.

You pays yer buck you takes your chances.

Homosexuals are hardly "gay"

If we don't quit allowing the progressives to redfine our language to their own perverted definitions our children will never know what the meaning the word "IS" is.

I guess I'm hard hearted too. Folks who test positive to HIV/AIDS or Hep C need to be quarantined in a fashion they won't be able to spread their disease to the innocent until they are cured or made noninfectious.

I'm suffering from a 35 year infection of HCV from a blood transfusion. 33 years of the time, I didn't know I had the virus!

I wasn't a drug abuser or butt buddy so my family doctor never checked me for those "conditions." Now, I'm close to end stage liver disease and have had to endure interferon therapy, twice to kill the HCV, but the damage is done.

I have nothing but contempt for folks who mollycoddle this issue. You don't really want to know what I think about the really weird phenomenon of "Bug Chasers", the FREAKS that get turned on trying to get infected.

Yep, and those "consequences"? They get free drugs and social security disability payments for 50 to 60 years.
