The numerous horror tales of people injecting the HIV virus into the innocent at countless Mardi Gras. Or what about when they left needles sticking out of movie theatre seats where the untrained eye would never notice. I shivered with the thought as questions began to race through my mind. The same things were still happening 10 years ago in 1999, as they were today, if not worse. The virus can remain dormant for many years and without symptoms as the immune system begins to be compromised.
People begin to see high fevers weight loss, diarrhea, and fatigue.
They later can develop skin rashes and sores. There are two different theories as to how this deadly virus originated. Some scientists think it was started by monkeys in Africa and somehow jumped species. Others believe it is a result of the rising homosexual movement throughout the world. The statistics which followed astounded me.
