The Real Message
The main message that I got from this movie was actually that recent HIV+ patients should not be treated as victims, they should be treated as idiotic dumb asses.
They have been bombarded with fifteen years worth of anti-HIV campaigns, warning of the pain and expense of catching the disease and the fact that you will die if you get it. Plus, good Samaratins stand on street corners and at bar exits and hand out free condoms and information to anyone that wants them, no questions asked. HIV prevention centers exist in any town with more than about 30,000 people in it.
And yet, many of these idiots become infected anyway, ignoring the billions of dollars spent trying to educate them. They shouldn't be coddled and told that everything will be alright, they should be kicked hard in the ass and told that there is no excuse at all for being so stupid.
The movie was right when it said that the anti-HIV campaigns ought to be as scary as the anti-smoking or anti-drugs ones. People need to know that HIV will kill them.
