You are of course correct about the behaviour component of AIDS as a disease, but the research into the mechanisms of immunology can benifit a host of diseases. Look at it this way, while it is a vile and avoidable social disease with a politically correct base of funding, like many things it can carry an unexpected bonus in knowledge which will far surpass the original objectives of the research.

I agree. AIDS research potentially can help in other areas of immunology & cancer/virus research. Its the motivation & politics behind the research that disturbs me. Cancer research will directly help more people & perhaps bust down more doors in other areas including AIDS.

Unfortunately, we will never put the same resources into the afflicition until it becomes the result of gay behavior.

Nobody on FR wants to hear that. They want to hear about people suffering terrible deaths because they had sex,and this "made Gawd angry enough to give them the punishment they deserve".
