Good grief. It is not every day that I learn something that totally floors me, but this makes it one of those days. I cannot believe people could want to do this. And I can't believe this attitude they have, that AIDS is a manageable disease "like diabetes". Even with the best possible treatment, diabetes shortens life by an average of about 10 years, and prior to that most people have complications like impotence, peripheral neuritis, blindness, organ failure, gangrene and limb amputation. And rather than seeking out this illness, people with diabetes pray for a cure. Those people seeking infection with HIV don't have a clue how expensive the drug treatment is, the severe side effects the drugs cause, and the terribly painful course of the disease if it stops responding to the drugs. Not very sexy at all. Talk about letting the little head do "ALL" of the thinking!
