Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 I'm sorry I caused such a commotion with my remarks. Please note that English is not my first language (not even second), so I cannot always express things perfectly and politically correct. Also please note that I come from Europe where things are said like they are. When I wrote about HIV spreading amongst the homosexuals or IV drug users, I was referring to the beginning of AIDS, in the 1970's and 80's. Let's face it, that's where they say AIDS started, amongst those groups of people. Nowadays they clame it can affect anyone, but in the beginning it was very much restricted to those minorities. And that doesn't make sense. I meant nothing bad or homophobic! Sorry if anyone thought that. I hope Bridgette is not leaving the group for this! Please read the links that Roger posted, they are full of information on AIDS and will explain it in politically correct terms, I hope.
