Description:

I forgot to mention, but the overwhelming majority of people infected by HIV are getting it through irresponsible unprotected sexual encounters. Yes, there are other ways of getting it like sharing needles and rape.

What a joke. "You mean that you don't support someone with smallpox caughing rubbing their skin all over anyone they want?! YOU MONSTER!" Wow. I'm "down" with people who have contagious diseases to do everything in their power to not infect anyone else. I'm just such a barbarian. You caught me there.

HIV is transmitted (though not solely) via sexual fluids. The vast majority of people who are infected with HIV are infected by unprotected sexual contact. The CDC includes HIV on it's STD page for a reason, and that reason isn't because they're interested in splitting hairs. Feel free to give me some examples of this so called barbarism. I'm guessing it falls more in line with people being scared when facing someone with a contagious fatal disease. Those barbarians!

"People should be able to sleep around. It's our birth right." is the quote. You should watch that you are actually listening and not shooting from your hip in regards to things you only kinda know something about. People die from chemotherapy too. It doesn't work for everyone either. And? And nothing. Sorry you lost so many people, but the fact remains - we're a lot better off now than we were "twenty some odd years ago" when it comes to HIV/AIDS treatments.

Unless, of course, you know people who have been positive since 1983 and then you just look like a loud-mouthed schmuck who doesn't know shit.

And the fact that you are "down" with sero-sorting? Wow. Promote discrimination. Also, he WAS talking about an idea world, but you couldn't get that because you were looking for things to slam. You should watch that you are actually listening and not shooting from your hip in regards to things you only kinda know something about.

The "advance" is really protease inhibitors which came about in 1996 and a lot of people with AIDS are actually DYING from the toxicity of the drugs AND they don't work for everyone. I have lost my father and best friend and cousin -- to start -- due to HIV and that's within the last 10 years. Also, you misread him. He said that SEX is our birthright -- being able to be sexually active is.

Money does not mean PWAs are not treated barbarically. Especially NOW where HIV/AIDS is considered a chronic manageable illness. STIGMA means being treated poorly, hon. Also, HIV is NOT a STD. STDs are called so because they are transmitted via sex. You don't have to sex to seroconvert.

I agree with you %100. One of the only intelligent responses to Chris's video. Very irresponsible to suggest that it is ok to sleep around and not tell people the possible consequences of doing so.

Everything you said was pretty true...EXCEPT for one thing and that there is a stigma towards people with AIDS and I think Chris Crocker did a better job a clearing that part up. Other than that, cool video.
