Running toward a dream of a lifetime
When I tested positive for HIV in 1994, I never would have imagined an AIDS-free generation to be possible in my lifetime.
I also didn't think I would live past 35.And yet, I am 42 years old today and we have arrived at the precipice of that dream. With recent medical advances, and the promise of more soon to come, an AIDS-free generation is possible. Achieving this goal, as eloquently outlined by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier this month, would save millions of American dollars and countless lives around the world.
The question is whether we have the political and social will to make it a reality.
No one is talking about what the deficit-reduction talks or the attempts to dismantle health care reform mean for stopping AIDS in this country. Now is the time for that conversation. Cutting funding for HIV/AIDS services, treatment and research would be devastating to our progress in defeating this 30-year-old epidemic.
And the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act is necessary to provide access to treatment for the thousands in our country who are on waiting lists because they cannot afford life-saving medications.

An Aids free generation has always been possible. No medical advances were actually necessary beyond cleansing blood supply lines. Stop deviant, immoral and unnatural sexual copulation and end intraveneous drug use and the Aids epidemic would have receded as quickly as it began.

Bingo!
We know where that "bad blood" came from, same with shared needles, women with AIDS and babies born with AIDS. Go back far enough in the story and you'll find a queer man humping another queer man.
Never got a driver’s license? Never sent a letter? The federal government has a hand in everything we do. You have been definitely supported by the federal government one way or another. We all have.
Only if the cost of what you receive from the federal government exceeds what you pay TO the federal government, otherwise you are supporting the federal government.
“...we have arrived at the precipice...”
Yes, indeed we have; however, not in the sense related by the author of this nonsense.
Actually that is a great point. I didn’t think of it that way, but that is so true. Gosh, I guess I don’t take support from the government either. Interesting. Probably most FREEPERS don’t.
Uh... No. Those billions go into learning in-depth about viral disease and the complexities of immunity. That knowledge gained ultimately benefits everyone.
Weeeeeellllll allrighty then... LOL
Or, as the author would say if he was reading his own tripe aloud, "prethipith".
Ernesto, aren’t you dead yet?
I know. But obviously that’s not the (common sense) solution the world is going to come to. I was just pointing out the futility of trying to engineer a “cure” for a virus that mutates and already has a huge bunch of different strains. Treatment would be better off boosting immune systems to the point they can destroy viruses or disable their abilities to replicate.
"It's not like you're just going to be sitting on the toilet and be like 'OW OW OWWWWWWWW! I just got SHOT up the (Censored) with an INFECTED load of (censored) Who's the SMARTASS??!?" You basically got to make an appointment for that, folks...it's not just gonna f'n happen."
Clearly delusional, why won’t people recognize homosexuality is a mental disorder caused by chemical imbalances in the brain.
We could actually help these sick individuals before they destroyed themselves if we could get them into camps for reeducation and therapy for their real affliction.
Andrew Dice Clay also had some pretty un-PC homosexual/AIDS routines. He basically had his career shut down. I wonder how Kinison’s career would have progressed had he survived...
There’s a difference between “taking support from” and “being supported by.”
