"Rubbish Medical science is on top of HIV and you know it. People who have the virus can lead full-length, normal lives"

Oh is that so Dr Shaw? Nobody understands the long term effects(30, 40, 50 years) of anti retroviral medication; and the costs are horrific, almost £400,000 per patient at present rates.

Isn't it better that the virus is not transmitted at all?

Fidel's policy stopped transmission in it's tracks and to equate HIV/AIDS with Downs' syndrome or mumps and measles is stupid and insulting on many levels.
