There is only 1 country in the world that has a declining aids population and that is Cuba. Their solution, anyone that has aids is removed from the general population so they can't infect anyone else and put in a concentration camp which in this case is like a leper colony. When the U.S. gives a nationwide aids test every year to see who is carrying the hiv virus, and then removes those who do from the general population, we too will have a declining hiv population. So lets get hot, make the hard decisions, and take care of the problem.

I advocated this back in the 80s. If you have a disease that is 100% fatal, you totally eliminate all interactions suspected of transmissions. We do that for EVERY OTHER disease, except sexually transmitted ones.
Go figure. If someone told me I could have sex and die or be celibate and live, I'd choose celibacy.
AIDS isn't an epidemic, its an accepted by-product of the sexual revolution.

From a religious (and even political) standpoint, I don't think that provides any longterm answers. Sure, when we have health epidemics, it is right to quarantine people to stem the spread of the disease. However, HIV is different than the flu or TB. HIV is almost solely a disease of behavior. It's the sinful activity that causes the spread of the disease. So the way to fight it is to turn people away from that behavior. If we want to stop HIV in the longterm, we have to stop the root of that disease.
