Unfortunately yes.
We all have prejudices built up within us, and I can admit I have a prejudice against people with AIDS and would want minimal contact with them.
Sorry, but it's true.

Absolutely not. I would never treat someone with HIV/Aids different in a bad way. Actually, I might be nicer to them to try to make up for some of the hurt they have experienced with other people.

I know several people with HIV/AIDS, and no, I don't treat them any different than I do any other person. They are normal people like us, the only difference is that they have a disease with no cure. The only thing different in a first aid case would be to take extra precautions.

I honestly don't. The truth is that you really don't know who has HIV/AIDS. I might have felt differently before we knew that we couldn't get HIV through casual contact. I have met a few people that are HIV+ and I don't treat them differently - they are just people that have a medical condition to me.

would you treat someone that has say cancer differently, no i dont think you would.
just because someone has aids or hiv dosent mean they are not the same person so why treat them differently.
you just need to be extra careful not to come in to contact with their bodily fluids (i.e blood, semen etc)
you can still drink from the same cup as them and use things that they have used or touch things they have touched you cant catch it this way.
just because someone has a disease it doesn't make them a diffrent person so why should they be treated difrently would you want to be treated diffrently if it were you.

well i work in the hospital as a CNA and i see and treat aids and hiv people every day, they are human just like us. they have feelings too you shouldn't judge any one just because they have aids. they hurt just like us, hell they are just like us except of they can die at any moment because there immune system is not as high as ours. so the answer to your question is no i would not treat any one different just because they have aids or hiv. i don't judge a person before i know them.

No, not unless they were bleeding, or if the wanted to have sex with me, but then again not have aids doesn't necessarily mean a guy will get to have sex with me any way, and girls are just plain out of the question any way.

Only in the physical sense, just to protect myself, but not in any other way. Some people are infected as a victim, not always due to promiscuous behavior.
