HIV/AIDS patient attitudes

[Guest guest]

I've noticed no response to the offers to HIV people here.

Per some ER folks, HIV/aids people are hard to work with. They tend to

be less than forthcoming cooperative or causative, tending instead

towards a victim status with little effort to reform or improve.

Ok, that may sound like bad actors, but.. I am wondering if this virus

tends to make them so? Could the virus stimulate the attitudes and

behaviors that lead to its own spread?

In other words, I am wondering if the attitudes are programmed with the

virus, and turn its victims into real victims who go into such despair

as to become apathetic and willing carriers par excellance?

I'm really not sure, just positing a hypothesis here. Maybe these

folks were not always so, and the disease has changed not only their

immunity but dampened their spirits, as well?
