AIDS doesn't discriminate, but people do. AIDS does not just come from homosexuals, it can come from anyone. Discrimination against AIDS sufferers and homosexuals is wrong, if you know someone suffering from AIDS, let them know their loved and show them that life isn't always cruel to people that are unfortunate. This story is dedicated to all those whose lives have been impacted in some way by AIDS.
