1. I don't really sterotype people with HIV/AIDS. They are just normal people that happen to be living with a disease.

2. I don't know anyone with HIV/AIDS and if I did, I don't think I would treat them any different. They are people.

1. I've never really thought about how I feel about people with HIV/AIDS. I don't really think any different of them, other than the fact that they might be a little more...i dont know, not slutty but perhaps the party-type because obviously they had to do something to the that disease. But I do know that not all of them are like that, it could've just been one mistake with a horrible outcome.

2. I suppose, I would be a little more sympathetic to be honest. I would definitly not try to get closer away than before, more likely we'd become even closer. I'm not sure exactly if I would say I'd be giving them special treatment, but I'd definitly act nicer because you don't know when you might see them again.

*also, I LOVE your icon!! ^.^*

My steriotype, very general may I say, is that these people probably don't lead the best lives in the first place so wouldn't care as much who they slept with or if they used protection or not. I don't know anyone with aids. I wouldn't think of them much differently, I might think they whould have been more careful? Not sure. It must suck tho.

What is your personal stereotype of people living with HIV/AIDS? I don't really have a stereotype. Anyone can get HIV/AIDS, not just whores or sluts or homosexuals or scrawny African children. Everyone gets it, and everyone is different.

Do you personally know anyone who is living with HIV/ AIDS? Has your view or attitude towards them changed? I've known people who've had it, but they've passed. My view / attitude towards them never changed, however.

If no, if you knew someone had HIV/AIDS do you believe that your attitude towards them would change? N/A

Before Model UN I never really thought about AIDS, but I don't think many people that are freshmen or younger do. I don't have any sterotypes of people living with AIDS because I've seen things where they show people living with AIDS in all different economic classes.

I don't know anyone with AIDS.

If no, if you knew someone had HIV/AIDS do you believe that your attitude towards them would change?
I don't think my attitude towards them would change but I would let them know that I'm there for them.
