Well this should upset a lot of people. Saw in the paper today that we are supposed to be aware of AIDS today, and do something about it. So I thought I would come up with a way to eradicate it. Yes, you read that correctly. I know how to stop this in its tracks. And it's not that hard to do. Remember that AIDS is a behaviorally spread disease. You won't get it by rotten luck or by chance, or by being in a crowed elevator,say like cancer, the flu, or measles. You get it by having sex with many different people, sometimes by anal sex. You can also get it by sharing needles with infected people. Simply stop that behavior and it will go away in a generation. No spending millions or billions on research and programs. Overweight people are ridiculed because their eating behavior causes problems. Why aren't the majority of AIDS infected people ridiculed for their bad behavior? No we have to have a special day for them , maybe even some marches to show we care.

So true. Easily eradicated, but like everything else -including our carwash
customers. Not my fault, how you gonna fix it. Our state has laws against drug use, and also sodomy laws, so not sure why so much problems, maybe we need to fine those that do such behavior, or cancel their healthcare.

AIDS awareness isn't so much about finding a cure or raising money to treat those affected as it is to help people learn how it's spread and to take measures to prevent it.

Well said. Sort of like smoking and lung cancer and overeating and heart disease.

You know that's what I was hoping for. The idea is to let or make people aware of how this crap is spread. Change your behavior, and change the world. Contrary to most liberals/progressive thoughts, most conservatives do not want to see anyone suffer needlessly. We want people to understand that if you go to a San Francisco gay bath house and have sex with 10, 20, or more people per night, that bad things could happen. I just find it amusing how society looks on some misfortunes as just bad luck, when other bad things are considered poor life choices.

Lets don't get personal, Mac, you can also get it from heterosexual women, that got it from some cheating spouse. Who then gets a divorce. There aren't many virgins at my age.


Actually AIDs is being treated today pretty effectively because of "awareness". It's not so black and white.

Bill I'm not trying to be personal or expressing animus towards any group. I was stating that it's from having unprotected sex, usually with many people. My main point is how we as a society look at this. There are no obesity awareness marches for couch potatos, but for this group there is.

A few blocks from my car wash is a charity that helps kids born with HIV/AIDS. Truly innocent victims.

Unfortunatley HIV is growing faster in hetero population than gay population. Education works and it is money well spent.

You can get it from a blood transfusion. That's about as rotten as luck can get. Does that mean that doing anything that risks a life-threatening injury, even driving a car, is a lifestyle choice?

You're actually making a case for the need of AIDS awareness. People generally know why they're fat, and don't suddenly become fat because their spouse had an affair. I doubt you'd find a lot of obese guys having sex together in a bath house either.
