Sad Tom Villard died of AIDS in 1992

Did you all know that one of the actors, Tom Villard had AIDS because he was homosexual and died in 1992. His last film was "My Girl" with Maccauly Caulkin and Jamie Lee Curtis!!

He had AIDS because he contracted a virus, not because he was homosexual.

Also he attended a college I went to I never knew he 'went to the same college as me, that was something different or new to me that is.

And how do you think he contracted the virus, moron? You don't get it from vaginal sex, in spite of what the homosexual lobby would love you to believe.

Bull****. And there was no such thing as AIDS when I went to school. Yeah, straight people get it if they use drugs that involve needles. Straight people don't get it from sex, that's all propaganda. Read the book, The Myth of Heterosexual Aids.

Actress Amanda Blake died from aids after contracting it from her bi-sexual husband who didn't tell her he had the disease.

YES Straight people do and can get AIDS from other Straight people from have unprotected sex. I don't know where you're getting your information but you should try reading and getting out in the world.

LMAO, judging by your immaturity, I take it you didn't finished the fifth grade, because there was no such thing as A.I.D.S when you went school doesn't mean s**t. Where did you go to school at.. with Laura Ingalls?

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. It burns me how jerks like Bencasey are uneducated about A.I.D.S. It upsets me how stupid people are and make idiot comments talking out of their ass on something they have NO clue about. I mean hello? How did Magic Johnson, Arthur Ashe, and Ryan White get A.I.D.S? From out of the thin air?

EVER HEAR OF BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS? RYAN WHITE, ARTHUR ASH AND MAGIC JOHNSON. THAT'S HOW THEY RECEIVED IT.

BOY, YOU PEOPLE ARE SOOO IGNORANT INDEED! EVER HEAR THE OLD EXPRESSION THAT YOU ARE NOT SLEEPING WITH JUST YOUR PARTNER, BUT WITH WITH EVERYONE ELSE YOUR PARTNER HAS SLEPT WITH? AND VICE VERSA FOR THAT MATTER. AIDS CAN LIE DORMANT FOR 10 YEARS, THEY USED TO SAY. NOW IT'S COME OUT THAT IT CAN BE LONGER.

D OYOU KNOW WHY THERE WAS MANDATORY BLOOD TESTS DONE BEFORE MARRIAGE?

IF THERE'S UNPROTECTED SEX INVOLVED, TAINTED BLOOD OR CONTAMINATED NEEDLES (WHY DO YOU THINK THERE IS SUCH PROCAUTIONS IN THE HEALTHCARE FIELD?) YOU HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTRACTING AIDS. STICK YOURSELF WITH A NEEDLE OF A PERSON THAT HAS AIDS, OR IF THERE'S AN OPEN WOUND, BLOOD ON BLOOD, ETC.

IT AMAZES ME THAT PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN LIVE THEIR LIVES ANY OL' WAY AND NOT HAVE ANY CONSEQUENCES. THEN WHEN SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, THEY WONDER, WHY GOD ME? OR WHAT DID I EVER DO? I WISH SOME PEOPLE WOULD TRY TO STOP BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR THEIR OWN STUPIDITY NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBLITY ANYMORE! I KNOW. IT'S EASIER THAT WAY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ADMIT YOU'RE A BONEHEAD AND THINK THAT NOTHING WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO YOU. I BET MANY PEOPLE WHO HAD TO GO THE PAINFUL EXISTING LIFE BEFORE THEY DIED OF AIDS DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM EITHER.

NOW I AM NOT SPEAKING OF EVERYBODY MIND YOU, MAINLY THE CARLESS, THOUGHTLESS IGNORANT PEOPLE. THEY USUALLY KNOW WHO THEY ARE

I HAVE AN IDEA. WHY DON'T PEOPLE START LISTENING, AND THEN ACTING ON SOME GOOD, SOUND MEDICAL ADVICE, AND DO SOME RESEARCH OF YOUR OWN? AFTERALL, IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

DO YOU KNOW THAT BLOOD IS A BIG MONEYMAKER? I WORKED IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, SO TRUST ME. ALSO, DOCTORS CAN BE LAZY. FOR MANY, IT'S EASIER TO HOOK SOMEONE UP TO BLOOD (YUCK!) THEN TO WORK A LITTLE HARDER BY FINDING BLOODLESS ALTERNATIVES. THERE ARE BLOOD EXPANDERS, SALINE SOLUTIONS AND MANY OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAT CAN BE USED INSTEAD. AND...DID YOU KNOW THAT ALTERNATIVE BLOODLESS SURGERY AND TREATMENT IS ACTUALLY HEALTHIER FOR YOU? DON'T BELIEVE ME? AGAIN...DO YOUR RESEARCH; AND ANY GOOD DOCTOR SHOULD TELL YOU OF ALL THE BENEFITS OF BLOODLESS MEDICINE. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF HOSPITALS HERE IN CHICAGO THAT HAVE BLOODLESS WING UNITS. PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER THE USA, AND EVEN OTHER COUNTRIES TO GET THIS TREATMENT.

ANOTHER FACT. PATIENTS THAT USE NON-BLOOD ALTERNATIVES NOT ONLY HEAL FASTER THAT PATIENTS WHO ACCEPT BLOOD, BUT THEY HAVE LESS RISK OF INFECTION. TOO, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RISK OF CONTRACTING AIDS, AS YOU WOULD WITH USING BLOOD.

YOU ARE YOUR BEST ADVOCATE. YOUR DOCTOR WORKS FOR YOU. YOU DO HAVE POWER OVER THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. IN FACT, THERE ARE LEGAL DOCUMENTS YOU CAN CARRY WITH YOU (I HAVE ONE), THAT STATES YOUR HEALTHCARE WISHES. ALSO, EVER NOTICE AT THE HOSPITAL THE FORMS YOU SIGN UPON ADMISSION OR PRE-SURG? ALWAYS, ALWAYS READ THEM BEFORE YOU SIGN THEM. DON'T DON'T RELY ON WHAT SOMEONE TELLS YOU THE FROM IS ABOUT; AND IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, YOU CAN CROSS OUT LINES THAT YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH. I DO THIS WHEN "BLOOD" IS MENTIONED AS A MEANS TO SAVING YOUR LIFE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. (THEN I GIVE THEM MY BLOODLESS CARD, WHICH NOT ONLY STATES MY STANCE ON BLOOD, AND WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO ME, BUT IT ALSO HAS MY END OF LIFE WISHES. (DURABLE POWER OF ATTY'S) AND THEY COPY IT FOR THEIR RECORDS). ATTORNEYS USUALLY HAVE THESE FORMS, TOO, JUST SO YOU KNOW. THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE BETTER. AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW. EMPOWER YOURSELF, AND GOOD HEALTH TO YOU!

LISTEN, LIFE IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED. JUST BE SMART ABOUT IT. AFTERALL, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE, AND THERE ARE NO DO-OVERS. SOME PEOPLE THINK IGNORANCE IS BLISS. WELL GUESS WHAT? IGNORANCE IS KILLING PEOPLE. NOW WHAT'S SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT!?

Magic got AIDS from having unprotected sex, NOT from a blood transfusion.
