I try not to be prejudiced with regard to the unfortunate victims
but I resent the imbalanced focus granted to AIDS to the detriment
of other medical research.

I will admit bias as my brother died of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
This is a disease that is grossly underfunded (in the UK at least),
especially when the numbers affected by both diseases is taken into
account.

So yes, I am less supportive of the various AIDS programmes - not due
to judging the lifestyles of my peers (it's your life, live it as you wish)
but through the hijacking of public awareness in the 80's (when
vast amounts of money were poured down the high profile AIDS "research"
drains).
