True, but it is an example of how the contraction of AIDS is not always a product of irresponsibility.
I agree that ignorance is a major contributing factor to the spread of AIDS. Can you really call someone irresponsible if they are ignorant of the possible consequences of an action?
I'm not trying to say that no one who contracts AIDS is culpable at some level or another. I do think that pointing fingers at the victims of a disease is counter productive and evokes memories of the scorn for the gay community that existed in the early 80's.
