Thread Name: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
Subject: RE: BS: Discussion of HIV transmission.
By the way, how would anyone here feel if someone who was HIV positive came to their house and say, cuddled one's children or used the loo? Or shared the chalice at church? I know full well the disease can't be caught this way, and I have every sympathy for any poor person who has the virus, but being honest, I'd be a little wary. (It's dreadful to admit this, but one can only be honest.) One of 'my' prisoners was HIV positive from needle-sharing (he was a heroin addict) and although I always gave him a hug when he arrived in the Visits Room, I wouldn't have been too happy if he'd given me a peck on the cheek. I'm ashamed of this, but it's how it was.
