Your doctor, dentist or nurse could have it. Your wife, your sister, your child. It doesn't come in neatly wrapped package for all to see.

Cancer, however, is somewhat avoidable. You can't change your genes, but don't be obese, don't smoke, don't have chronic irritants, don't avoid check up's, don't eat too much fat or sugar.

Yeah cancer is avoidable but HIV is not. HAHA, what a load of crap. 99% of the ways to contract HIV comes with making the decision to either have unprotected sex or share a dirty needle with someone who has it. The blood transfusion thing is very rare and is also avoidable if the hospitals are doing their jobs correctly. If you pass HIV down to your children, that is your own fault. Either you shared a dirty needle or had unprotected sex. If your partner gave it to you without you knowing, that too is avoidable if they were to have used protection while cheating or chose not to share that HIV infected needle. As far as your doctors giving it to you, has that even ever been reported?

More children will die this year of HIV/AIDS than the number of Americans who have ever had HIV/AIDS (currently living with it or dead).

But you're right, those innocent children really aren't innocent. They deserve to die for the sins of their mother.

So obviously people never got cancer before the 16th century?

You can get cancer from just about everything. It's far more seriously, and NOT preventable at all. You could live the healthiest lifestyle and still get cancer...

AIDS is mostly or totally preventable, unlike cancer. So why should AIDS get SO much funding?

So, why aren't they tested and have to disclose that they have it?

The NO.1 cause of the spread of AIDS is anul sex. If you engage in such activity it is of your own peril.

We have NIH already funded by the taxpayer, The NIH invests over $31.2* billion annually in medical research for the American people.

If that isn't enough, tough.

by that logic, you either:
  • have AIDS, or
  • are a virgin

which is it?

Don't forget the fathers, who likely gave AIDS to the mothers.

When you have sex, you are having sex with all your partner's partners.

Really?
Odd because most people manage to NOT contract AIDS....it appears gay men are the main group who do.

You can get AIDS in several ways...

Problem is,the OVERWHELMING number of AIDS diagnoses is...you guessed it,man on man sexual contact.

People LOVE to drag out the hemophiliac,blood transfusion,etc,etc but the brutal truth is it is gay men giving it to other gay men.
