I am so offended by this, I am not judging anyone but it offends me to no end that this is how we are portrayed, I was a fourteen year old child that had a tonsilectomy, hemmoraged and needed a transfusion. My heart goes out to any one with this disease no matter how they got it, but to make us all look like junkies I find so maddening. People are so quick to judge as it is this only make things worse.

Unfriggin believable - no wonder people dont get tested. Who wants to be a part of this?

Why not show doctors and nurses and CEOs and housewives etc.

I gasped at the photo and caption. Geez, no wonder there is so much stigma against us!

They haven't tested it on humans yet, so it sounds like it's a long way off for us.
