Week 2 discussion

I think that there is a lot of truth in this statement. AIDS does engender stigma, discrimination and denial, not as much as it did when it first showed up on the world scene, but these are issues with the disease even today. It is still a topic that many people are uncomfortable talking about because of how it started to spread in the US, and the issues that are brought up in connection with it. It is still a taboo subject and as long as people think of it like that, many of these issues will not change.
