Re: Charlie Sheen - NOT WINNING!

Yes they do and it is sad. It's a little different if you knew someone personally and don't feel grief for their death, that is your business, but passing judgements on people you've never met saying they deserve to die/had it coming is pretty extreme.

My issue with saying someone deserves HIV specifically is that I don't think anybody does deserve it. Where do you want to draw the line? I mean, we could have a scale. We could start with people who were born positive or contracted it in childhood and people who received blood transfusions from positive donors. Then on the other end we could have intravenous drug users who knowingly share needles, or people who regularly engage in unprotected sex with strangers. Who would you feel comfortable saying deserves it? Should the people on one end of this scale get priority for treatment?

The difference between HIV and Lice is that you can completely eradicate Lice. If people are telling you that you're disgusting and you deserve your Lice, you can buy the shampoo and comb or shave yourself. You don't have to live with it, and I've never heard of anyone dying from Lice.

No, HIV does not make anyone a saint. Didn't say it did.

Okay, no. We have treatments now that can give people living with it a much better chance of living a long life than they would have had in the past. However, as with any treatment, how well you respond to it depends on a number of things: your health and age, what strain you have, your ability to access medical treatment and drugs. There are absolutely still people dying as a direct result of contracting HIV, even in rich countries.
