Ah yes we’re back to “aids is God’s wrath and you deserve it.” Nobody deserves it, not the slutty man wasting away from the disease he just assumed he’d get, not the trans prostitute who had no other means to support herself in a society that refused to see someone like her as suitable for a boring desk job, not the heroin addict who rolled the dice when needles were scarce, and more than anything not the child who’s molestation came with a death sentence if untreated.
The stories of aids are brutal even amongst those who could’ve prevented it. I would never call a god that punishes love and lust between consenting adults like that good.
More American men died in the aids epidemic than the Vietnam war. Lifestyles that can expose one to HIV extend beyond gay sex and drug addiction but also include being a first responder or medical professional.
