"advocating actions which would drive them underground and opposing a measure which would tend to reduce infection (by however small an amount)."

This point has been made many times , especially to one poster, and on a number of threads.However, it has not seemed to make any impact, nor stimulated any thoughtful ,nor logical , response to counter the liklihood.

So, I suspect some are left to fill in the "agenda" gaps, as you noted.Such a pity and missed discussion opportunity, especially for those who post that they "care about and have compassion" for the health of other humans, and all impacted by hiv/aids.
