prolong the life of AIDS victims may be found in the next few years. When
science and technology do finally fully conquer AIDS, we can go back to
deciding what sort and how much sex to have with who ever we choose on the basis of our own personal choice, and not by the coercion of a speck of proteins and RNA. May that time come soon. …
