Federal Government’s Response to Controlling AIDS Epidemic
So much stuff has been said about AIDS. Celebrities and everyone else cry bitter tears on TV in their pleas to help in the care, research and plight in general for those who have AIDS. We are all helping to pay for this epidemic.
I am not insensitive to the terrible pain it brings to the person and those around him. I am not talking about the Ryan Whites nor the Paul Ganns nor the babies born to infected mothers. My concern is that most AIDS patients got that way knowing the risks and certainly knowing what causes it.
My distress is that it is preventable and people are not being responsible. That’s the disgrace.
