Any insights about people with AIDS or HIV?

I've just heard that there was a rise in the number of people infected with HIV and AIDS. However, I don't have the tiniest idea how other people perceived those people who are infected with such diseases. Personally, I just treat them as a sick person who needs care and understanding. But I know there are prejudiced people out there. How about you, how do you honestly feel about people with HIV or AIDS?

I do not feel anyway other than they are human. Same as everyone else. But this is probably because my brother and his boyfriend are both HIV positive. And I have been active in the Magic Johnson HIV Awareness and Education Programs. HIV/AIDs can be contracted a number of ways. Who am I to judge. Besides, what is done is done. Everyone needs hugs.

That's so true... we are just human and we are not entitled to judge others as we ourselves don't wanna be judge as well....
