Oh let em have their fun. Surely there'll be a cure soon. {wink wink nudge nudge}

"America is more interested on treating this disease than preventing it. We can't treat our way out of this epidemic, even as a rich country."

America is more interested in rampant sexual fantasy than the safety and security of mongamy.

[Mr. Lucky]

Jeez, it's almost as if the wages of sin is death.

[DungeonMaster]

Jeez, it's almost as if the wages of sin is death.

Why...you're right!

It's almost like...God is not mocked.

[Froufrou]

And the whole whine appears to be "we're rich, but not rich enough"...to buy our way out of wrong behavior?

[TheOracleAtLilac]

and this trend is a bad thing ?

reminder: AIDS is a voluntary disease.

"America is more interested on treating this disease than preventing it. We can't treat our way out of this epidemic, even as a rich country."

NEWSFLASH: Stop engaging in homosexual activity.

He has the devil's own sense of humor, didn't you know?

New incidents of this disease could drop to Zero overnight. Literally.

That's not true for very many diseases, but it is for AIDS. Yet they refuse to take the step to make it happen. So many lives could be saved, but these selfish people don't care.

...the infection rate is set to soar as the population ages...

Given that the new cohort is meth shooters aging may not be as much of a problem as the numbers suggest.

[The_Reader_David]

I might agree (cf. also the comments of others about the wages of sin), but only if you keep them out of my health insurance rating pool.

Covering HIV treatments for the sexually wanton makes the rest of us pay monetarily for techonologically delaying the wages of sin for them. While aiding the sick is a Christian duty, being forced to do so through increased insurance premiums is neither Christian (it deprives one of the opportunity to willingly give charitiy in imitation of our Father who 'makes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust', and deprives the recipient of contact with the Gospel when a Christian ministers to him) nor good social policy.

It never ceases to amaze me. We've had this disease on the social landscape since 1980. The forecasts, back then, of the great plague wiping out straights and gays alike never happened. It remains, as it did then, a problem for a select few: IV drug users and gay men.

Despite all the advances in drugs, 'the boys' continue to party, and only after they're positive do they realize, "Oh, hey, actions have consequences. Who'd a thunk!?"

I'm one of those hard hearted broads, I guess. I've lost too many friends to the disease (each contracted through irresponsibility and an almost arrogant disregard for cause and effect) to care any more.

You pays yer buck you takes your chances.

Don't like it? Don't get insurance.

[zook]

This story's gonna leave a lot of readers with a bad taste in their mouth.

[DungeonMaster]

That reminds me of a similar idea. The bible says "if anyone will not work, then neither shall he eat". Now if we try to undo that whole rule with welfare, look at all the bad consequences we get. We have a population that won't work, has tons of free time on their hands, gets even more money for even more kids born as bastards. We end up destroying a whole group of people in their own sin by leading them to the temptation of not working.

[TimesDomain]

Homosexuals are hardly "gay"

If we don't quit allowing the progressives to redfine our language to their own perverted definitions our children will never know what the meaning the word "IS" is.

[CDHart]

Agreed. I'm sick of paying higher costs in insurance as well as taxes, just so it can be given to someone who didn't earn it.

But it's not a "gay" disease, after all...

[dfwgator]

Come on everybody, we've got quilting to do.
