      It is only in this country that AIDS was identified as a 'gay man's' disease. In the rest of the world, it is overwhelmingly a disease that affects both men AND women, as well as children.

    sjbrock80, you are a very narrow minded individual.

    Anyways, if the government had reacted quicker and done more, instead of ignoring the disease, then AIDS wouldn't have been as big as it is now. Never blaim the victoms, only the disease itself.

    Anyways, if the government had reacted quicker and done more sooner instead of ignoring the disease, then it wouldn't have turned out to be as big as it is now.
