"If spreading AIDS is a private mater, the treatment of it should also be."

God forbid that you might contract HIV through a transfusion or some other non-gay sex manner. Even as a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, I realize that HIV is not only spread by the gay community, you need to educate yourself as well.

Today's ruling was sound. Contrary to many FReepers I believe there is a constitutional basis for the "right to privacy" grounded in Amendment IV, "search and seizure". This is defacto privacy.

Those who contradict this argument might do well to stop and think if they want *their* bedroom practices held open to public scrutiny. (How many FReepers indulges in kink?)

The public health argument re aids, is null , because we have exisiting laws covering willful endangerment, including other STDs.

I posted on an earlier thread that FReepers should detail their bedroom practices here on FR. Then all of us could decide. So far no takers.

I am not the slightest bit worried, as I only shoot up with clean needles. /sarcasm
