I heard a long time ago that at one time everyone on Earth would know someone who has aids. I met some people with this disease. Do you know someone?

Well the truth is, I do not know. I do not know anybody who has full-blown AIDS but I could easily have met people who were HIV-positive and not been aware of it. After all being HIV-positive is not a disease, it merely indicates that you have been exposed to the virus and have the antibodies in your blood.

You have a point. We never know if someone is infected or not. Thanks for answering.

in the 80's I lost a number of friends to AIDS. Presently, I know one guy who has HIV, but he is fine for now. His blood counts are such that he doesn't even need medication at this point. I pray it continues. I wouldn't want to lose another friend to this dreaded disease.

Well I heard that saying years ago too but to this date I have never met anyone with AIDS or even anyone who is HIV positive (that I know of anyway). I don't know if that is good or bad but I hope it is good, i.e. meaning that this illness is spreading far slower than predicted years ago :)

I think the medicine and the information about it made the prophecy a bit wrong.

I don't know anyone with AIDS that I know of. It's strange because I know such a diverse group of people and yet I don't know of any of them who have the disease. They may and have not shared that info but, as far as I know, I don't know anyone with it.

My beloved friend Kevin Irvine has the horrible disease. He's a longterm HIV survivor. He has hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder, and got bad blood factor before they started testing the blood for HIV.
