ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Indiana's governor on Thursday
(March 26) authorized the short-term use of a needle-exchange
program in a rural county to combat the biggest outbreak of HIV
infections in state history, all tied to intravenous
prescription drug abuse. Republican Governor Mike Pence said he
personally opposes needle-exchange programs but signed an
emergency order allowing one recommended by federal health
officials to be used in Scott County in southern Indiana near
the Kentucky border. Scott County has recorded 80 HIV cases
since December, all tied to injected drugs. Under the order,
which lasts 30 days, the county can set up a needle-exchange
program with the state health department limited to suppressing
the outbreak. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Pence said the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the
program and he was willing to support one if county officials
want it. "This is a public health emergency," Pence told a news
conference. Such programs provide intravenous drug users with
sterile needles in an effort to prevent infections from the
sharing of contaminated needles. Some opponents of such programs
say needle exchanges encourage drug use. The county in past
years has reported fewer than five new HIV cases annually,
according to state statistics. Since December, the county about
35 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky, has had 71 confirmed HIV
cases and nine preliminary positive results. Officials fear up
to 100 cases could be identified.
Faggots keep spreading HIV. All faggots should be put in insane
asylums.

government is required to pay for HIV treatment for the destitute,
which can run over a million-plus per year per person. One million
dollars of YOUR tax money, all of which could have been saved with a
single five-cent needle.
The Ryan White Act contains no price control provision, which is why
pharmaceutical companies WANT the virus to spread. The worst thing that
could happen to them is a cure (which is why they aren't working on
one), the second worst a vaccine (which is why most vaccine research is
funded by national governments), and the third worst scenario being
successful prevention methods that take the number of new infections
down close to zero.
