About AIDS
Fri., Dec. 18, 1998
Hooray for the Illinois court! The days of irrationality need to be firmly put behind us.
Meanwhile, here in Texas a prison convict in solitary confinement is suing the prison system, alleging that someday the guard might accidentally hand him a disposable razor previously used by another convict who might be HIV-infected. We've never seen anyone infected through razor-sharing, and his entire argument is wild conjecture, but the suit made it to court. Some people may have too much time on their hands, but use of AIDS-phobia as a tool to abuse the court system should not be tolerated.
