What's going on inside Chinese planes that they worry about this?

Local media reports say the two men and a friend - who does not have HIV - were prevented from boarding a Spring Airlines plane at Shenyang airport.


The three of them are accusing the airline of discrimination. A court in Shenyang accepted their case on Friday.


...
But he also blamed the passengers, and said the firm would allow HIV-positive travellers to board their planes as long as they did not make themselves "overly noticeable" to avoid scaring other customers.


Spring Airlines' website states that it has the right to refuse passage to those with "infectious diseases". An airline spokesman told Caixin that since the incident, the airline has not turned away any HIV-positive passengers.


One passenger told the paper: "After we got our boarding passes, we informed a Spring Airlines official that some of us had HIV."


"The official immediately rang up the Shanghai head office for instructions, and then told us the company has rules forbidding the transportation of passengers with HIV."

It is abnormal to say something like to an air line attendant. They probably suspected some kind of mental illness and were afraid the person would try and throw blood everywhere or something. If someone randomly told me they had herpes I would back the fuck up to. Not because its terrible to have, but because its weird to announce it.

You know how once the plane levels off, the flight attendants come along and offer snacks and drinks?

Well, it's the same thing in Chinese planes, but with buttsex and IV drugs instead. Hence the concern about HIV.

That's just hearsay, I've talked to a person who looked Chinese one time and they never told me they had HIV/herpes.

No, eventually, in the fullness of time, even Reagan mentioned HIV (the great unpleasantness).
