Full page ads have been running in the New Orleans Times Picayune for
some time now. I quote from the ad:
Every day, more and more people are learning to live with
HIV. People are finding ways to stay healthier, strengthen
their immune systems, develop positive attitudes. They've found
that proper diet, moderate exercise, even stress management can
help. And now, eary medical intervention could put time on your
side.
Today, HIV positive doesn't mean you have to give up. So,
the sooner you take control, the better.
For more information on living with HIV, we urge you to call
the number below...anonymously, if you wish.
1-800-HIV-INFO THE SOONER YOU TAKE CONTROL THE BETTER.
The ad is "brought to you as a public service" by Burroughs Wellcome Co.

Conspiracies >>aside, who is paying for screening "every blood sample taken"? Wait a minute.. You aren't seriously suggesting that blood samples (I assume you mean blood donations?) are not tested for HIV are you? Who's paying for anything that hospitals normally need to do? (I have no idea) .. Who would the conspiracy be against if they didn't screen? Everyone?? I don't get it.. gerri@ibm.com
