It is relevant to mention that this is in South Africa, not here, and their AIDS issue is quite a bit different than ours...
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sesame Street will soon introduce its first HIV-positive Muppet character to children of South Africa, where one in nine people have the virus that can lead to AIDS

The upbeat female Muppet will join "Takalani Sesame" on September 30 for its third season on the South African Broadcasting Corporation.

The rest of the op/ed piece is a riot "There must be a puppet named "Sniffles" that has a temperature of 101, diarrhea and a runny nose. While on camera, it should vomit every few minutes."

Yes, but the article goes on to say that the Muppet will eventually be brought to the US as well as 8 other countries.
