Should people diagnosed with AIDS be put on a registry similar to sex offenders?
Should people who know that they have AIDS, whether born with it or contracted it, be put on a registry in order for potential sexual partners to look up? Would it be an invasion of privacy or a useful tool to stop the spread of the sexually transmitted disease?

Here's the deal. Last time we tried to separate someone that had AIDS it was an 11 year old kid in the 70's. His life was miserable. If everyone had a proper education about AIDS, it wouldn't be a problem. However, the majority of Americans are not aware that just talking or hanging out with someone who has AIDS will not spread the disease. This theoretical registry would ruin many lives and it would be an invasion of privacy. You should have seen how Australians treated poor little Eve. Disgraceful ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Light a candle online for AIDS victims. http://www.candlelightmemorial.org/ And yes people need to be educated. 1

People in school won't be the ones worrying about people having AIDS. The people who will look at the registry most are the people who don't want to get AIDS. I personally don't care about not wanting to get AIDS. Why? Because there is only one way to transmit AIDS. If I was on that level of intimacy in a relationship, I should hope that the other person would have told me about their condition. YES!!!!!Of course there should be an AIDS registry! People have already begun to use it as a weopon , and have therefore spread the desease further.That makes it a case of first degree murder! http://www.saching.com/Article/Spreading-AIDS-intentionally---Transmitting-HIV-virus-knowingly/935 http://www.ehow.com/how_2095078_report-people-who-intentionally-spread.html Here is a few cases; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2455954/posts http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/01/15/Woman-claims-she-spread-AIDS-virus/UPI-62501263574677/ A case of revenge; YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONE COULD BE NEXT! 1

Yes, because it could very easily stop the spread of the disease. However, I don't think it right to hunt down and test people suspected of having AIDS top find out if they do, indeed, have the disease. If they know that they have it, however, they should be on a national registry. Should people diagnosed with Influenza be put on a registry similar to sex offenders? Influenza is the world's most infectious disease. Influenza is a any one of a number of wily RNA viruses that adapt quickly and spread even quicker. They are spread through direct and indirect contact (touching a doorknob that harbors the virus) and through the air via coughs and sneezes. Most of the viruses cause basic flu symptoms: body aches, coughing and sneezing, chills, fever, fatigue, headaches, and congestion. Some, however, are EXTREMELY DEADLY. The Spanish Flu killed more than 40 million people worldwide between 1918 and 1920. The pandemic was one of the worst in recorded history. Influenza is found everywhere. It peaks during the winter season in both hemispheres, breeding like crazy and flitting through the population. Flu vaccines, or “shots,” are available. They’re made on an almost yearly basis, using the most common influenza bugs at the time. They are fairly effective, but flu viruses are known for fast mutation rates and thus circumventing immunities. If you want to stay well this flu season, get your shot and remember to wash your hands frequently. Also keep your distance from the infected. BE SURE TO CHECK THE INFLUENZA OFFENDERS REGISTRY!
