“... Jeremy might finally be able to see a specialist to find out why one medication makes him nauseous and another makes him so dizzy that he can’t drive.”

Yeah, it’s hard to trek by foot all the way to those highway rest stops.

<I get that people with this self-inflicted disease

The disease is not entirely self-inflicted. When I practiced law, I did pro bono work for an AIDS group. I had one gay man client, but all the rest were several straight white women who had been infected by their husbands.

I’m in another field now, but I understand that black women are frequently infected by their husbands/boyfriends who come back from prison.

While I think we’ve solved the problem of getting AIDS through a blood transfusion, some people who may still be alive now did get it that way. It wasn’t self-inflicted.

I get that. The only one you mention that did not start out as self-inflicted is from transfusion.

A husband that transmits it has to contract it first.

Yes there are innocents that end up with it, like an unsuspecting wife - but the husband went out and got it being a pig. Being perverted. Sorry if I offend, but I consider such men to be sick disgusting perverts, and I feel pity for the women.

we constantly admit the same sloth meth users who are also diabetics....they're in for acidosis, or abcesses, or cellulitis, or osteomylitis, or urinary tract infections....

free room and board, call and get whatever you want to eat, clean sheets, free narcotics and benzo's for "anxiety" and then they get discharged, start shooting up again, sharing needles, drinking, ignoring their diabetes or other health problems...

its a swinging door and no one can stop them from doing this except Father Death....

Wasn’t it also “judgemental”, when the entire homosexual community, in the entire Los Angeles Basin, in 1984, stated that they were going to taint the entire Red Cross blood supply of the area, by donating blood, and denying that they were HIV-positive/AIDS-positive, or not?

He asked that his last name not be published.

Why not? This will all be public knowledge when all our records are online. Just one data breach away....
