Ummm... you said in one breath that there was a "foolproof vaccine...a drug free life and a monogamous marriage" and in another told a story about a "straight Christian woman" who acquired HIV from her husband and died. So, clearly being monogamous and drug-free aren't "foolproof" either.
"That sort of thing just shouldn't happen."
Only in a "just world." But real life isn't just. It just is.
"No, but there's a foolproof vaccine...a drug free life and a monogamous marriage."
With YOU all the way!
"FWIW, I don't agree with "routine" AIDS tests for people (primarily because it's a waste of money for 99.9% of the population), but I DO believe that blood testing should be brought back for marriage licenses, and that an AIDS test should be a part of it. I was blessed to know a straight Christian woman who became infected by HIV after getting married to her husband. They never discussed how he got the disease, but he apparently had it before they were married (undiagnosed). He committed suicide shortly after learning the truth (he became extremely depressed when he realized that he'd essentially killed his wife), but she hung on for about 10 years before finally passing away a few years back."
They DO test for AIDS in New Jersey for a marriage license as well as another STD ... think it's gonorrhea.
"That sort of thing just shouldn't happen."
That is a tragic story. Christians know that all wrongs will be righted ... when we're up there ... .
