What else can it be other than prejudice, that one would hold such
ideas so strongly in the face of, or more often in the absence of,
any hard evidence? The uniting characteristic of all the dissidents
is that they can not stand believing that PWHIV are not being "punished"
for their abberant lifestyle.
Our trying to argue science may be effort wasted. Their visceral response
speaks of motivations well below the concious level.
