AIDS is real

It saddens me to note that HIV/AIDS is a condition, is largely seen to be the fault of those who get it, a condition for the morally irresponsible and is met with censure and apprehension. Where does this attitude leave the poor child born infected, the wife who caught the virus in her marital bed, the patient who was given contaminated blood or better still the man/woman whose only crime was to be in a relationship?

As much as I appreciate our liberty to exercise our right to confidentiality, unfortunately, by keeping quiet and hiding our HIV status we are actually colluding with those beliefs...
