I just finished reading an article that reported on a recent study that showed
that many doctors have strong negative feelings about AIDS patients and that
their attitudes are affecting their willingness to treat gay males with AIDS.
This means that some health care professionals' biases about AIDS patients and
their sexual orientation could be affecting who gets treated and who doesn't.
I fear that since these findings are being reported so matter-of-factly in the
lay press, the problem is probably much worse in the real world. I thought
that we had progressed beyond that stage.
