When I lived in Florida approximately 15 years ago I seem to remember a certain Dentist (forget his name) that was purposely giving his paitients HIV. This Dentist is/was simply trying to protect himself as well as his patients by not treating someone who is at a higher risk of AIDS. What the hell is wrong with that?

I remember that. That was terrible. He needs a sign posted that says "We have the right to refuse service to anyone". Don't know if that's legal for dentists. But he should be able to protect himself.

I don't think lesbians have a higher incidence of AIDS. In fact, I would imagine they have very low incidence.

That said, the dentist should be free to refuse to treat any patient. There's a dentist on every corner.

Are lesbians more or less likely than straight people to have HIV?

Since when were lesbians at a significantly higher risk for HIV/AIDS?

In contrast to gay men, I suspect that the incidents of AIDS in the lesbian community is as low as the monogamous heterosexual community.
