my best friend died of AIDS. It's better to listen everything they say about AIDS just to see if Freddie will be mentioned than not to listen to the warnings at all. He was always making fun of me because i tried to hear freddies name and he wouldn't listen. he knew nothing about AIDS, until his girlfriend told him she was infected. He died a year later. it's important to educate yourself, and even if you do it just to hear a Queen song, it's ok. just be carefu

YOU HAD BETTER CARE BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T CARE NOW...YOU'LL BE A STATISTIC LATER!
I lost many many friends and two family members over the years to AIDS even with the supposed cocktails of drugs they took to maintain their health and status quo. I have three good friends fighting the disease right now, one is losing the battle very slowly. AND IF YOU THINK IT CANNOT AFFECT YOU and YOU'RE A 20-40 year old who is sexually active YOU HAD BETTER THINK AGAIN!
I DO CARE AND WILL CARE AND WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO FIGHT AIDS UNTIL THERE IS A CURE!!!

"I wish people would fucking stop worrying about Cancer and find a damn cure for AIDS instead! (didn't mean to offend anyone there) but its about time we did something! it's a world-wide problem, if you ask me."
And cancer isn't a world wide problem? True, cancer can't spread by infections, but there's still no cure for it. I find it important to find cure for both diseases and not say "They should find a cure for this one first, and then for the other one".

You, Kate Mercury, are an idiot.
yeah go ahead and think that of me... i dont care what you or anyone thinks of me, but i do care for those who die of diseases and other health problems.
"And cancer isn't a world wide problem?"
i never said it wasn't...

Krizzy, IF I didn't care (although in fact I do), the odds on me becomiing an AIDS statistic are extremely slim, as going by IE's post, white monogamous heterosexual non drug using men appear to be the safest group on the planet.
Incidentally, I'm not sure why being white or of African origin makes a difference once we're discussing a first world nation like the US, but I bet it would be a tricky discussion to have in any kind of public arena.

Penetration_ Guru -- Maybe you are right and you probably 90% right, but someone you might know may become one. According to World statistics however the longer the disease remains out there it will mutate leading to different and perhaps even more dangerous strains of HIV.

my mum has AIDS and for all i know i might have it too...she won't let me go get tested...so i do give a shit bout it coz one day it cold kill me
Dudley does have a point....
Perestroyka, I hope your mum gets the therapy she needs and has chances to be a long time survivor. I don't know how old you are but if your mother does not allow you to be tested, you should seek help from an AIDS/HIV organisation near you. They can advise you how to address the situation. I just hope with all my heart that you are not infected but if you are, it's better to face the situation. You can quickly find an AIDS organisation in your area on this website

"Dudley does have a point...."
I disagree. It is TOO broad a generalization. In my opinion, saying that NONE of us care and that we just want new Queen stuff is kind of a slap in the face to those here that are active in the fight against AIDS in some way. Maybe these people were sparked by Queen in some way to get involved(IE. Freddie getting AIDS), But does that mean that they are just being selfish because someone they loved and admired had something to do with the whole thing (either dying or becoming involved because of that death)? No. Does it mean they just PRETEND to care because they hope to see/hear something about Queen or Freddie? No. There is a such thing as compassion (no matter how little of it we see), Some of us actually DO care. And as for you Dudley, You are nothing but a fool. Think before you post something so stupid or just don't post at all.

I think there is alot of true in Dudley's post, and doesn't matter what you all say.
"I'm very concerned about AIDS... I wish people would fucking stop worrying about Cancer and find a damn cure for AIDS instead! (didn't mean to offend anyone there) "
Kate,you did offend people out there. (me, for example) How can you compare cancer to aids? Is aids worse? I dunno I never had it, but I had cancer though and I can tell you I am very glad there was a 'cure'.
I am sure you mean well, just don't use such words please. Iff one day someone you love (or perhaps you yourself) will discover they have cancer, you will remember your own words. I hope you will be healthy for the rest of your life. And I hope someone will find a cure for both cancer and aids. Nobody deserves to die like that.

*sigh* Look, I knew what I meant ok? (just can't find the damn words to explain...) and I said in my post I didn't mean to offend anyone.. Cancer and AIDS are both big problems and I know that. I almost had cancer myself. And what about my brother?! He could have AIDS... He's had enough damn partners, and he's done enough fucking drugs... I care about my brother but he's stupid as a rock, and doesn't listen to anyone...
Although Dudley's post is designed to wind people up, it is for the most part, true.
