I think a person has the obligation to tell somebody else if he has AIDS
if he is planning to be sexual with him. I am in a monogomous relationship,
so neither of us has been tested since it wouldn't change things one way
or the other (except to add anxiety into our lives should one or both
of us test positive). But if I were single, or (God forbid) to break up
with my s'other, I would get tested before I carried on sexual relations
with another person. It's a painful thing, but I believe it's a responsibility.

It is also our responsibility, by the way, for those of us who have not
been struck by AIDS to stand by those who have, and to urge funding for
AIDS research rather than aiding the contra terrorists in Nicaragua, for
instance.
