Hmmm... I enjoy Asimov a bit, particularly the Foundation novels and also his early works for the magazines. He wasn't the world's greatest sci-fi writer (that was Heinlein) but he was fairly good. After a while he seemed to lose something, but his last novel, Forward the Foundation was very touching in many ways. Also he seemed to know a great deal about a great many subjects - I believe he has a book in every Dewey category? But the one thing I would never have suspected him of is any of the common AIDS-causing behaviors.

His mysteries were very good as well. So sad if it's true. A horrible way to die. (Not that I can think of any pretty way off hand}.

He wasn't the world's greatest sci-fi writer (that was Heinlein) Heinlein? If it was written after about 1960, yuck!

Open heart surgery in metro NYC in 1983 was a very good way to get AIDS, there’s no reason at all to doubt the story.
