Also, your question is akin to asking "should we take all people with diseases out of society?"
Should we lock people with HIV or AIDS into quarantine cells for the rest of their life? How about the Flu? Or Herpes? Mono?
The flu is not life threatening, nor are most STD's. Your categorizing a serious virus that at the momemt can be somewhat controlled and prolong your life, but inevidently cause death. No one said to quarantine anyone into a cell, but a physically shared space like a gym perhaps should be sectioned. I work with a lot of HIV clients in my field, but there are certain precautions me and my fellow staff follow, and I'm alright with that, it's a controlled envioroment, a gym isent.
In this day and age, many people who contract the disease can lead long and healthy lives. It becomes a lifestyle change as opposed to taking over their lives.
You're trying to discriminate against HIV/AIDS infected individuals based on the belief that you can transfer the disease through sweat which is false; scientists have been unable to identify either HIV or AIDS in sweat.
So essentially, they'd have to share some other sort of body fluids, and in which case the possibility of it happening is the same as in a restaurant or a coffee shop.
Your missing the point again. There are remains of skin tissue and possibly even particles of flesh on the equipment, the HIV virus can be found in that. Also, take for example the person I know who got arressted today. He is a homosexual male obviously with serious issues, who is to say he worked out, looked at all the other males beside him, got horny, went to the wash room stall, masterbated, ejaculated, and came back out and continued working out spreading his semen onto everything. I see what your trying to say, I am not discriminating against HIV people, but I think I should have the right to know that they do carry it, especially in a physical enviroment, and be given the choice if I want to continue attending that facility or going somewhere else because I am not comfortable. Who's being ignorant now?
