This isn't a single incident.
I call for registration of all HIV infected homosexual
Nice try. Why not call for registration of all HIV infected people? Afraid you'd have to register? Or is it just about hating gays and not about a health issue?
Early on, straight people were not getting it as the initial carrier was homosexual. But HIV got in the blood supply, and adolescents are becoming sexually active and more promiscuous earlier. If I recall correctly, though, recent data shows that HIV is increasing in homosexuals. This is a newer generation and they may not be as aware as the one before them. For a time, the greatest increase was among heterosexuals, but I don't believe that is the trend any longer. (No, I won't look for a link. I'm retired from healthcare. So it is a moot point personally.)
I am mid 60s. I had two gay classmates who both died in the first run of it. Many of the gay people I worked with in the 80s did as well.
The current status of the disease being treatable has led to a portion of the gay community to return to the promiscuity that was a hallmark of the lifestyle during the 70's and early 80's.
The problem is a new strain can emerge that ISNT treatable, and then back to the bad old days we go.
