AIDS is the first disease that has been given Civil Rights. 50 years ago
many diseases were incurable except by behavior. STDs especially - now the
viral diseases are in the same medical position. Bacterial diseases being
cured now were incurable then you got well or died. Same for a virus now.

Use the same Public Health procedures as the other STDs - require a list of
contacts - test the contacts. 

Every person who dies from contact with someone who could have been found is
the responsibility of those who put politics ahead of public health.

Remember vaccines have been found for some viral diseases. But no CURE has
ever been found for ANY viral disease.
