Pat's right only insofar as she suggests that HIV transmission in Africa is 
primarily heterosexual.

What she seems not to understand is that the situation in Africa has to do 
with the inherent sexism and class oppression there that renders women 
uneducated, powerless, and victims of a socio-sexual patriarchy.  Women in 
Moscow who had sexual contact with this man have considerably more personal 
power and social support than their HIV-affected sisters in Africa.  The 
"behavior" in Africa that Pat speaks of is certainly immoral, but has much 
more to do with widespread devaluing of women than bed-hopping -- a fact 
that she surely must recognize.

That said, my heart breaks and my prayers are offered for any woman, or any 
man, infected with HIV -- regardless of how they got it.  Period.

I would be willing to bet that this arrest has done more for celibacy in 
Moscow than we could ever preach. Yes, it can happen here and we needed to 
know that. I am curious what the NAACP intendeds to do to justify his or 
defend his behavior. How do you explain his knowing and doing it anyway? 
This is the same behavior we see in Africa that until it is stopped we won't 
help the spread of AIDS in that country no matter how much money we pour 
into it. It is going to be interesting to watch how this plays out here in 
our court system.

     With all due respect. If we can't get the State of

     pay for the expensive medication that keeps HIV from
     turning to full blown AIDS?

   Currently, the majority of that cost is borne by ADAP, or the AIDS Drug 
Assistance Program. Some of that cost is also picked up by the Ryan White 
CARE act. Even people without health insurance -- even people that are 
homeless -- can receive HIV drugs. It's one of the few programs that hasn't 
had the majority of its funding stripped out over the last five years.

   The civil courts also have an effective remedy for sexually transmitted 
financial burdens. I fully support making the person who transmitted the 
infection to you pay for at least a portion, if not all, of their victim's 
drugs and treatment.
