HIV/AIDS

Could you ever bring yourself to touch someone infected with HIV/AIDS?

Just how dumb is that poll. :lol:
What is the reason for it and what do you hope to find out.?
You cant catch HIV or Aids by touching someone.

But to post the poll itself you must have pondered the question yourself and then wondered what others might think on the subject - what a odd thing to think about.
I cast my vote for no other reason than to keep you happy , but it’s a lame post try thinking of something with a interesting question that people might have to think about. :roll:

What next.!! Could you open a can of Coke with your toes lmao. :lol: :lol:
If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you have misunderstood the situation.

Ya that's a bit of a strange poll.
How come you decided on it Daniel?

Yes. Not just touch... but hold, and hug, too. A friend was infected through work (A&E nurse) and the infection made no difference to her need for contact, or my feelings about having contact with her.

Would you, Daniel? And if not, would your reluctance be based on fear of infection yourself, or on your feelings about that person and how they came to be infected, or something else?

i not only touch them , i tattoo them, in fact as far as im concerened everyone i tattoo has aids, its all about taking the proper precautions.

A much more devisive poll would have been, would you share a sex life with a person who has hiv, but i like to think, given your tone, that your just trolling, looking for a little rightious indignation are we ?
