Nov 2012

I really thought the highest incidence would be among Christian Conservatives getting blood transfusions.

I jest of course but how can this be a surprise? Anyone that doesn't know the basics of avoiding HIV is living a truly risky lifestyle and doesn't take their health seriously, if at all.

Stop being squimish about who's at greatest risk. Young gay and black men. People screamed when this was labeled a gay disease. Statistics seem to bear that out, at least here in the US of A. Go to Africa, which I have by the way, and it's a little different.

Supress the truth and you exasperate the problem.
