Like Garinda, I have watched in helpless agony as friends wasted away and died of HIV. Wonderful, lively, creative people, who lost their lives through ignorance. I also have several friends who are living with the condition, and coping wonderfully, but all are damaged by it.
I think that it is appalling in this day and age that schools are not teaching our children everything there is to know about something that could ruin their lives or even rob them of it.
