[ot:6feeb6f9aa]Honey Chicken (

), by the time a person's HIV deteriorates to AIDS, s/he's usually very weak and wheelchair-bound or bedridden. HIV becomes AIDS when a person's T-cell count dips below a certain number, obviously not a good sign. Of course you also know that people without HIV or AIDS get coldsores.

Forgive

ops: ... I'm not trying to be bi*chy or condescending, and I know that you're not feeling well either

... but you brought up the question of it before about someone else. It just reminds me of the time when the mention or suspicion of AIDS would induce panic in people... :? can we get it from touching a doorknob? drinking from the same glass? etc.

Thanks to a big Magic, we're far past that now as a society, and I just want to make sure you know that there is a difference between HIV and AIDS. The former has become quite manageable in most cases thanks to advances in medicine.[/ot:6feeb6f9aa]
