I read the earlier posts, thus I made the distinction between Lucifer and Satan.

God created us with free will. He did not create a race of robots. Just like anyone else, He wants acceptance and love given freely, not a subject race of obedient automatons.

Whether evil can good can exist independent of one another is a philosophical debate that goes back at least 1800 years, so I rather doubt we will resolve it here.

Nevertheless, I fail to see your point in relation to the subject at hand: AIDS and the actions which lead to it.

"Just like anyone else, He wants acceptance and love given freely, not a subject race of obedient automatons."

Does God see a big difference between robots programmed to love and "free will" life that has been told - ... if you don't freely love me, I will send you to hell to burn forever...

Sounds like He is is willing to accept(demand ) love given "freely", but not give unconditional love

Are we weong because we love our children in a different way then He loves us ?

The title of the thread is "Stop AIDS by Stopping the Sins". We cannot discuss sin without discussing God. I think it's a natural tangent for this discussion to take.
