“None of those diseases have civil rights, AIDS does, in fact it is the only disease that enjoys that right.”
I take it that you are being truthfully sarcastic, and not implying that being a person with HIV SHOULD grant someone some “civil rights”.
Well actually the have superior civil rights but yes. The common comment when the laws were passed was that it was the first disease with civil rights.
I can remember when people with TB were actually locked away in sanatoriums.
