Pride or prejudice
You spoke of the many prejudices you saw over in bolivia and South america, but didnt speak of your own, from your tone those nasties your talking about, the diseases strike upper class as well as lower class, it makes no distinction such as you have, You didnt say anything bad but you referred to it as the plague, I can understand not wanting any of these horrible diseases, but many of us are innocent of getting them, Your Country obviously requires testing, which dont make sense since I gather your Canadian and all are welcome in Canada or canadian territorries, but many places your allowed in just to stay for awhile and some places not at all, that being said something was definitly rotten in Sucre and it wasnt the Indians, it was your prejudice. One of the most long-standing and disturbing indicators of discrimination against people living with HIV has been restrictions on entry, stay and residence based on positive HIV status.

Together we can do it.“ Michel Sidibé, Executive Director of UNAIDS Under Secretary-General of the United Nations
