The stigma around Covid is much worse. People are losing their jobs, being involuntarily detained, getting arrested, getting murdered because of it.

The most preventable epidemic in history.

Thousands and thousands sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. Dying slow, painful deaths.

This is on the heads of the left in the militant homosexual Lobby. They’re murderers.

If people are pepper spraying those who are not wearing a mask — because they are afraid of catching the flu — then in makes perfect sense that no one wants to risk being exposed to HIV (or herpes or any of the other nasties).

I had to laugh at that part where it talked about advances in treatment and prevention. Advances in prevention?

There was never anything difficult or complicated about preventing it. How do you advance something like just don’t put your pecker in another man’s bum. How complicated is that?

One of my ongoing comments:

All this concern over spreading the flu.

All the fascist-style attacks for not wearing masks.

All the forced conformity.

Yet not a word on the spread of AIDS through homosexual behavior. Spreading that (if it is part of the sexual revolution) is apparently A-OK for these fascists.

Stigma??? Well HELL yes let’s hope there is for a disease that is transmitted by deviant sexual behavior...

There is a good reason for HIV carriers to have a stigma attached to them.

It’s easier to get the coronavirus then it is to get HIV. Also people are dropping like flies over coronavirus too.

A few months ago, on a homo-friendly site, I read HIV causes HIV-positive people to age 15 years. Having HIV also causes those that have it to age 15 years (plus die early). It’s hard to find this info online. I presume some entity wants to spread HIV in straight people.

Oh, you have to dig deep, outside of the popular, high-visibility information sources, to find the truth. Specifically, you have to go to the HIV-focused websites which HAVE to print the truth because its readers' lives are at stake when it comes to correct information.

Although the CDC is obviously highly biased toward the sexual perersion agenda, even they can't sugar-coat the truth completely out of existence. Other good sites for ocassional unwitting honesty are POZ.com and HIVPlusMag.com. From those I learned that the "Undetectable = untransmittable" meme isn't what it's cracked up to be, since only around 55% of HIV infected people are undetectable, and that status is not static, but very morphing between doctor visits.

Since you get it by misbehavior, it is appropriate to stigmatize it. Homosexual buggery, sharing drug needles and the infected donating blood are the primary vectors, followed by unprotected “normal” sex.
