Give me a break!  Knowing what we now know about HIV transmission, it is 
quite possible to allow HIV+ individuals to live free in society.  Simply
following the Surgeon General recomendations is enough to greatly reduce
the chance of hetero- or homosexual transmission or transmission as the 
result of IV drug use.  A little good sense can reduce that probability to
near zero. I don't think that can be considered government dis-information!

Sorry to cross post this garbage to sci.med.aids, but this sort of attitude
is so disgusing....perhaps someone would like to set this person straight.
_Please_ reply to arf@chinet.chi.il.us.... a bunch of follow-ups could
really clog the net....
