If you new your son was dating a girl with AIDS would you stop him

I would tell my child. I do think it's the girl's responsibility, but if she isn't going to do it, it still needs to be done. That's not something she should be keeping from someone if she is serious about them. It's dangerous.

i saw my parents die of AIDS. if my son was dating someone who had it, i would tell him of course. i would not wait for her to tell him, I would let him know right away. now if he wanted to still be with her then that would be his choice of course, and i would have to respect that. however not having a choice is what is not cool, so i would make sure he knew what he was going to be dealing with

I think I would have educated my son about the risks and ways of preventing catching it. I didn't see the programme, so I have no idea how exactly she told him, but I would want to go about it in a truthful yet open way, rather than be angry and scared about it. It is a parent's right to protect their child, but this situation would be a true learning curve for the son, so I would want him to know all the facts. I believe it is the parent's right to tell their child straight away rather than wait for the girl to break it to them, yet approach it in a way that suggests the condition need not break them up, they just have to be realisitic about it. After all a parent's main concern is their own child, not someone elses
