but we dont care that much so whatever.
What do you suggest for the ones who contract it through blood transfusions or were born infected?

Never mind, I don't think I care to hear anymore of your suggestions. Please go to sleep.

oh sod off man.

i said tatoo. is that a high price to pay? why would i say tatoo instead of the standard QUARANTINE for an epidemic eh? because its only easily spread through sexual activity, so marking people who are dangerous with a groin tatoo is simply reasonable. unless you have sex with them you wouldn't be looking in that area to begin with. so its not a public humiliation thing. people are dying, but since its spread through sex it gets treated at arms length, if it were airborn it would definetly have a quarantine crackdown. and well, people who have it and infect others are essentially guilty of negligent homocide if they don't know, and if they do know..then its plain murder. so paint me as heartless? meh ...i guess its easier to take a position where u can just stand by so people can die.
Scxrew you a$$hole. I've had several friends die of this disease, so until you really ready to deal with all the causes of it, why don't you shut the hell up and fvck the hell off already?
Neither one of the MALES were gay, they were hemophiliacs. The LADY I know got it from a junkie boyfriend.
I normally don't wish ill will on people, but you are an exception.
Please die alone and miserable you miserable excuse for a fetus.
You have all the characteristics of a Craigslist TROLL.

and you are an idiot. knowing people that died doesn't give you moral authority over me. its softy policies and beneign neglect(let the sinners die type moral sadism) that led to the spread of aids that led to the death of your friends. and if marking the infected no matter how they got it saves even a few lives its worth it. it doesn't have to prevent every type of tranmission, keeping druggies supplied with needles that are clean would be enough. would you have rather your friends accidentally and unknowingly give aids to people they had sex with because we are too afraid of a testing policy and marking people? and wow you are emotional..and pathetic i must say. i said nothing about gays at all. my suggestion was to save lives regardless of how you got it. but you see the reaction it gets from emotional twits like you who like the situation as it stands, with your friends dying so you can play a victim. wake up man, common sense is common sense. and our policies are anything but that which is why we tolerated the aids epidemic. and people like u odn't help, you aren't serious about a solution. bring up hemopheliacs..sorry they are irrelevant to the problem now. the ones that got it from bad practices of the past are dead now. the problem now is drugs and sex. but you don't really care anyways. your post makes that readily apparent.

i mean how dare i suggest a hypothetical solution that involves a minor inconvenience and economic expenditure to save lives of people like your friends. how dare i indeed. your position tells me how much you think their lives are really worth.

If smoking is banned in California, why not "quarantine" the people with infectious diseases?

big fvcking deal. you don't just froget about *constitutional rights* because there is a chance you might catch a dangerous disease. use a condom, get tested yourself, and you will be fine.

I'm not saying America should do it, it wouldn't work here. Just that it has worked.

I don't pay much attention to those sort of diseases because I don't associate with people who have or would be susceptible to getting them (people who sleep around with people who sleep around or do drugs).

You and the guy who made this thread should marry.
You deserve each other.

Funny how all the smart people that posted to this thread cannot read past the "public" part and start calling me an idiot.

Do you all think that because a person is infected with an STD, that person will never again come in contact (sexually) with another human being? Since when are most people responsible of their actions? Or will that stop them from using a public toilet, or getting a small cut on a boardwalk or another public place?
Have you ever heard of cases where infected people go out of their way to spread their disease?

And you all agree that it is the clean people that should restrain from using public bathrooms and protect themselves from a growing threat. Well, there wouldn't be a threat if we started controlling the situation already. Last time I checked the number of people infected with STD's was growing, and growing, and growing. I guess we are doing a hell of a job!
Bottom line is, whatever we are doing is not working. Is Cuba's solution the right thing to do? Well, if it works, why not?
