How is preventing aids by not engaging in man on man encounters and shooting illegal drugs ignorant and offensive?


For starters, blatant homophobia. Risk of AIDS is hardly limited to illegal drug users and gays. Medical professionals and police officers are fairly often exposed to blood (and other bodily fluids), either accidentally or intentionally, in the process of dealing professionally with people at higher than normal risk of carrying AIDS (or other infectious agents).


Well, aside from being completely false...

Yeah, whole thread is going downhill fast. Sorry.
