> The discrimination against people with AIDS was based on irrational fear of getting AIDS by touching or interacting with them. Sorry but this is wrong and feels like it's straight from a telemovie. It was around body fluids and how often people swapped them in practice. Could someone throw up on someones eyes. Do kids fighting swap much blood, this was addressed in 1990's Degrassi High as an unknown. https://degrassi.fandom.com/wiki/Bad_Blood_(2) https://degrassi.fandom.com/wiki/Bad_Blood_(2) Countries today discriminate on HIV, not because they are afraid of touch. "Some 59 countries, territories and areas deny the entry, stay or residence of HIV-positive people because of their HIV status only" https://www.unaids.org/sites/default/files/media_asset/jc1738_entry_denied_en_0.pdf https://www.unaids.org/sites/default/files/media_asset/jc173... People with HIV are a risk especially in countries without adequate treatments, if America wants to discriminate based on risk, there's no reason other countries can't also discriminate on risk. And if you want to do it based on intent, it opens up a Pandoras box of whether murders get blood transfusions, or hookers or junkies. It's a mess.
