Do you think people with AIDS should be mandated be put on a health awareness list?

Question

I don't mean to ask this in a rude way. I just like to debate.

Answer 1

Having been in the medical profession for over 30+ yrs I know of all of the hazards that people with AIDS present to not just the medical profession but to the general public and YES I sincerely believe that they need to be made to do something to let unknowing and unsuspecting people aware for their safety.
They have a moral obligation to the General Public to keep us "safe" and how can be trust them to do this?
Having worked in Dr offices and seeing jail prisioners who have a high rate of the disease I am here to tell you that rarely are either the jailers or the Dr's given information as to whether the prisoner is infected with AIDS or anything because of their "rights". What has happened to the "rights" of healthy people?
Only if the prisoner is honest and tells us when we ask them will we find out and we always hope we get the truth as our lives are on the line if they fail to tell us.
Us in the medical profession have to treat each and every patient as though they have AIDS and any other STD and then those who don't have AIDS/STD get offended and why shouldn't they but because we respect the "rights" of those infected people who won't tell us they are infected?
There are alot of people out there that have TB that are on these such lists with the State's Health Department (Communicable Disease) and they are required to take precautions that certainly make them more visible to the public (don't they have the same rights as those with AIDS), so why aren't people with AIDS?
Just as criminals lose their rights by their actions,haven't people with AIDS lost some of their rights?
I realize that there are extinuating circumstances ie those people who have contracted AIDS through no fault of their own with blood transfusions etc but there has to be an answer to this public concern.

Answer 2

Do you mean they should be on a list that is on the web or something such as that? Why?
Remember, you are not going to 'catch' anything from someone with the Virus, unless you have blood to blood contact or sexual relations, without any protection.
I thinjk even less people would ever get around to being tested for HIV or AIDS if the people knew their name would be blasted all over, if the testing was positive! People who have the virus work regular jobs and go to restaurants and shows and have the same type lives as the rest of us. Most people who realize they are 'positive' are very, very careful to keep themselves safe, as well as others. There will always be the strange ones who actually TRY to spread their diseases. That is really scary! Still, for the normal person with the Virus, life goes on, as normally as possible.

Answer 3

No. The problem with this is that aids is not really as bad as everyone's fear of it. Less people die of "aids" than the flu, and the flu is much easier to catch. Should we put all those with the flu on a watch list?

Also, there is a lot of problems with testing for hiv. Lots of people that are tested "positive" are not really positive.

Aids is mostly caused by drugs, alcohol, and really bad lifestyles and is not communicable.
