from infection by HIV for no cost violate any person's freedom? This appears to be just another example of hateful right wing fundamentalist religious craziness. Whatever happened to: love your neighbor as yourself? Or even the easier aphorism from Hillel the Elder: “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the entire Torah, and the rest is commentary. Now go and study.”?

What is wrong with these people?
