In contrast some still linked the disease to its initial occurrence in gay men, with a letter in The Lancet calling it "gay compromise syndrome".16 Others called it GRID (gay-related immune deficiency), AID (acquired immunodeficiency disease), "gay cancer" or "community-acquired immune dysfunction"

No offense, but neither will knowledge.  With rare exception, you can't get AIDS involuntarily.  Either it is sexually transmitted, a result of drug use, or generationally transmitted (mother-child).  While an incurable disease, I would not really call it indiscriminant.  No offense meant to your uncle - but he's using heroin ffs.

no offense taken, he died in 89' was a long time ago.
I disagree about knowledge helping though, at least you can take preventative measures to help increase your odds, I'm sure my uncle would have used a clean needle if he had known but like you said he was using heroin ffs, maybe he wanted to die.

I suppose you're right on the issue of knowledge with this particular disease.

EDIT:  +1 for listening to post and not taking it as personal attack

Well there have been cases of aids-infected blood transfusions and such horror stories. Just a month ago there was a stabbing at a big trainstation in Berlin (I think it was in Berlin) where a complete nutcase went beserk and randomly stabbed about 20 people with a knife. They later found out that the second or third person he had stabbed was infected with HIV.

Well these are total horro-scenarios... The thing is that since many people start believing that AIDS is curable now, because there is medication and treatment to prolong the patients life even after the breakout of the disease, they get all ignorant again.

Also, the roman catholic church shares a big part of the blame in this case. The church disapproves of any kind of birth control so they actively campaign in Africa telling the people not to use them. Especially condoms. They either say condoms will not prevent AIDS or even worse, that condoms actually cause HIV infection.

Couple of years ago there was this panic period in France. There were reports of people putting HIV infected needles in movie theatre seats, so unsuspecting people who just wanted to catch a movie would sit down on them and end up HIV positive.

There's lots of urban myths like that, like syringes on payphone receives and just about any other public device or place that you can put your hand on/in
