The HIV does not discriminate on the basis of what political party you are affiliated with. A commitment to remain HIV negative and stay that way requires each of us to practice effective safe sex behavior and to influence the sexual behavior of our partners by our personal example. Promoting safe sex practices have never denied anyone control over their sexuality. There is no pleasure in watching someone die from AIDS or from experiencing the physical pain and suffering as a result of having AIDS or the host of other diseases brought on in the latter stages of AIDS.
