I keep hearing about people with HIV and AIDS "protesting" because they do not feel that enough is being done for them. Far more money is spent on AIDS research than any other disease, even though many other diseases are not even preventable (my cousin's daughter has cystic fibrosis, and hardly any research is being done for that, because AIDS takes all the money) and except for blood transfusions (very rare today) and some nut jabbing someone with a needle, HIV and AIDS are caused by a person's behavior. Even with all the information, people still choose to have random, multiple sex partners, they choose to have sex with people they know nothing about, they choose disgusting, un-natural anal sex, they choose to share needles because they want their drugs more than their health, and that is how they get the disease.
Shouldn't more money be spend on UNPREVENTABLE diseases than on diseases that, even with all the information on prevention, people still bring on themselves?
