Woman With AIDS Causes Concern

This is the type of thing that usually screams urban legend, but sadly a woman in St. Charles, Misourri was charged with three felony counts of recklessly exposing people to HIV and AIDS. There was also a documented case in Olympia, Washington last year where a man did the same thing to a number of women.

The good news out of a story like this is that it may scare people who are too lazy to protect themselves. Men and women, if you are going to have a one-night stand, don't do it without condoms. Condoms are not perfect, but it is better that facing a currently fatal disease. (Note to right wing religious types: Don't innundate me with comments about abstinence being best. Obviously, it is best if you are not going to have sex. In the real world, grownups like to have sex, even using non-biblical approved methods and numbers. If you want people to lose their sex drive, tell them to get married and their time will come.)
