Porn Industry hit by HIV Scare

[SaroDarksbane]

The average porn actor or actress is also likely to have a monogamous relationship and even children.

I take it you mean "monogamous relationship off the set". *wink*

I was about to ask that same question silvermyst

Well I hope this won't be as big as the SARS last year, or the H5N1.

What about married couples who have unprotected sex and one of them gets AIDS? They haven't done anything wrong/immoral/unchristian, and they certainly don't deserve AIDS.

You can have your morals, that's completely fine with me, but I still think you're being a bit harsh.

Silvermyst brings up a good point, one that I was thinking about earlier when Sarge mentioned married couples. Married couples do get AIDS. It's almost always a result of one partner cheating on the other. Does the innocent partner deserve AIDs? After all, s/he was involved in a sexual relationship and there was always the possibility of their spouse cheating.

I'll comment on this. Two people get married and neither has AIDS. A few years down the road they are both infected and it wasn't from a bad blood transfusion. That means someone did something they shouldn't have and got bit. They then chose to hide it/lie about it to their spouse and passed the bug on. So, spouse #1 got it by making a bad choice (deserved). Spouse #2 got it because of the bad choices of #1 (undeserved).

Bad things happen to good people all the time and it's usually from the bad choices of others. No one deserves to be *****, no one deserves to be murdered (not executed within the law, murdered). No one deserves to be robbed or mugged. Everyday innocent, undeserving people have bad things inflicted upon them through no choice of their own.

If the two got married and one of them already had it from a previous partner, they made the choice that landed them the bug. It is then up to the couple to talk about it and decide what they want to do. If the infected one never mentions it and passes it on to the spouse, it's the same as scenario #1. Spouse #1 made a bad choice at some point and got bit, a second bad choice was made that caused the innocent, undeserving spouse to get bit.

Not everyone "deserves" to have bad things happen. But, I say when you make a bad choice and play the odds; when you lose, it's every bit deserved. When you get bit because of someone else's choice, you will have to suffer, yes. It is unfortunate but it's also a necessary risk of free will, the chance it will inconvenience or negatively affect someone at some point.
