A source of true anger among the health care professions has been the management of the HIV testing. It is illegal to test for AIDS without written permission of the patient and is illegal to include the question in a routine exam. And it has been accepted to lie about exposures and infection.This distortion in common sense has haunted the populace and medical personal ever since the paranoid homosexual community used the sacred constitutional right of privacy to risk the health of the entire community to satisfy their delusions of night riders and quarantine.. Now, it seems, things are changing. After 25 years of exposing nurses and doctors to the virus, after years of depriving fetuses of curative--curative--therapy in an infected mother, one can whisper the truth without having a huge condom burned in effigy in your front yard.

Imagine people with polio refusing testing. Or rubella. Or suspected Ebola. No, the HIV patient/carrier has become a protected species.
