AIDS has been around a long time.
The number of people with it is
increasing Now there it- a big scare
becausi of the increase 'rou can t
isolate ill of the people with it; we
just have <o deal with it. If one of
my friends had it I would not shun
him/her I would just deal with it.
I'll live my life, and if it should hap
pen to me I will deal with it
It kind of bothers me It's gonna
affect eveiyone in the future, and
people will have to take it mote ser
iously I don't want to natch AIDS,
but I don't think I will. If you ’ ake
precautions, you should be alugnt.
People with AIDS should nt be
aliented from society as Iona as they
don't use it as a weapon agamst
other people I'm not really frigh
tened about it all. I'm just careful.
