Who donated Ilie $21.5 million Complex slant Wii ii her husband  aids victims ignored warnings Brandy Boone it difficult for the average american to know what to think about aids because the average american in t going to get aids. In spite of All the publicity about the spread of the disease it is contracted almost exclusively by homosexuals or those who use Needles to inject themselves with drugs. We use the word victims when we talk about the people who have aids but not in the sense that they were struck with it out of the Blue. Most Are not in other words innocent  like the cigarette smoker who end up with lung cancer most of the people who go aids ignored warnings. Some of the attention that has been Given to cancer research in recent years is being turned to aids now. The government and medical science have diverted their inter est to aids because in is a dramatic disease and unlike the victims of cancer the people who contract aids Are making themselves heard. Cancer victims for the most part do not organize or March on Washington. Most people Don t take much of a stand on important issues. They have a Tittle Small talk they use in relation to foreign affairs economics and politics but what they think about Gorbachev or interest rates does t have much effect on heir lives or the lives of anyone else. What people think about sex and How they conduct their lives in relation to what they think or feel about sex makes a great Deal of difference so no one can be Neutral about what they think of aids. How they act can be a matter of life or death. Because it is always fatal aids is worse than syphilis or gonorrhoea in the Early part of this Century a lot of people thought those venereal diseases were god s Way of punishing sin. There Are some americans today who believe aids is visited upon sexual transgressors by a just god. It follow in their minds Hal if the disease is the work of god it would be wrong to inter Fere by seeking a cure. Such believers must be hard put to explain the. Deaths of so Many babies who contracted the disease in the wombs of their infected mothers or of the innocent people who got it from blood transfusions. They must be puzzled too by the disproportionate amount of Talent we have lost with people who have died of aids. It is a thought i suppose but seems Siruc anyway that homosexual males have contributed More than their share to our culture. Frequently the Homo sexual s Talent is great unique and inexplicable. The Way we be handled Ilie aids epidemic in America is a sign that we re growing up a Little. Those who contract the disease have become for most peo ple the object of pity not scorn. In spite of this grown up attitude most people have there Are overtones of shame attached to having aids. If having aids were not considered shameful by most people the fact of having it would t be concealed so often. The obituary pages of any big City newspaper carry several death notices a week of aids victims and in is the exception rather than the Rule when the cause of death is honestly specified. While shame in regard to the disease May seem like a parochial Altitude shame and fear of death Wilt have More to do with reducing the spread of the disease by encouraging a change in sexual practices than medical science until medical science finds a sure cure.
