HIV+
Why do people assume that anyone who is HIV+ in this country is so because they sleep around, or forgot the condom? It's not always their fault. I know a man who is now gonna die from this illness because he was raped. His fault? NO. God, why are people so quick to think the worst of people? Not everyone becomes HIV+ through their own doing. Infected needles can affect nurses and doctors not just people using them for drugs. People can get raped. People have sex with someone and have the condom split. At least they're taking precautions, yet they'll be looked at as scum, or as plain stupid, when this is not the case. People treat HIV+ and AIDS like the plague. Get real.
I hate ignorance. It doesn't take much to be considerate of the individual's situation, now does it?

ahh, been watching hollyoaks recently?
i've got to say i don't know anyone who shuns people who have HIV, but then i don't know anyone who knows anyone with it...
i don't see why it would change how you would treat a person at all, as long as you weren't in a sexual relationship with them, obviously.
no i haven't to be honest, it any good? just something my father said, how they shouldn't have unprotected sex if they don't want aids.
It's frigging ridiculous. But in the same way, lung cancer is the only cancer where people are blamed and not sympathised with. It's not always smoking. Smoking leads to lung cancer, but so do many fucking other things.
not really, just they deal with all these issues, and HIV was recent.
and when people say things like that, i don't think they really think about what they're saying. obviously everyone's persepective changes when someone they know gets whatever it is.
it's a sad shitty world!
