Drugs very expensive, side effects, problems having children, health insurance, living in some countries, doing some jobs, always be careful with cuts, any nosebleeds etc,
My general point is that its a very serious condition that you should not expose yourself too
i dont deny that. My point is that if you had diabetes which is as serious or pneumonia, there isnt as much stigma associated with those diseases. HIV has an added fear borne out of it by its symbol in western society and also because you can be infected.
when HIV is mentioned, alarm bells go off.
