It's unlikely that AIDS will become an epidemic in America on the scale of the one in Africa. It has nothing to do with Americans being superior and everything to do with resources. Lack of education, lack of medical resources, tribal customs, and the Catholic church are all factors that have lead to the uncontrolled spread of the disease in Africa. Even our poor have more access to resources than those in Africa.
Creating an AIDS registry would do nothing but potentially endanger the lives of AIDS sufferers. People who engage in high risk behavior aren't going to check a registry first, and people who don't engage in high risk behavior don't need to know. Giving up freedoms for protection is a bad idea to begin with, but giving up freedoms for absolutely nothing is worse.
