Just recently, I attended an interment of a former co-employee who died of complication which is AIDS related. He is not that rich but moderately well off. His remaining family is in denial that he has AIDS because of the stigma attached to it.
His closest friends told me that during his last month, his siblings (both his parents are dead) would separate his eating utensils from theirs on fear of the myth that he might infect them.
And 3 days before his death, did they brought him to the hospital. Their reason - He will die anyway so why waste money eventhough he gave the lion share of the house expenses when he was still strong and able to work. During his wake, his siblings gather all his clothes and belongings (except his jewelries and money) and literally throw it away for the garbage collector to pick it.
It saddens me to hear this kind of story.
Here in our country although gay-friendly, still, most people thinks that when you are HIV+ergo you have AIDS. Awareness to this disease is still in working progress
