POD - HIV doesn't jump to a human population. AIDS never develops. What would be the ramifications of this POD?

The London Rubber Co. go broke.

"Little Johnny" becomes an acceptable nickname again.

Sheets get washed slightly more often.

Many biochemists out of work.

Rock Hudson and Liberace live to ripe old age. Hudson does cameo appearances in the movie remake of the tv series 'McMillian and Wife' and also in 'Down with Love' - which is basically a takeoff on all the Hudson/Doris Day movies.

Without the threat of Aides to serve as a unifying concern, the gay community remains fragmented, and the political progress of this community is slow.

It's entirely possible Tom Hanks would never have gotten his breakout performance (as a lawyer dying of AIDS in Philidelphia), and would have sunk into anonymity as the next Pauly Shore, only less irritating.

I would argue the advent of AIDS slowed acceptance of gays. I believe without AIDS tolerance of gays comes faster.

the religious right and social conservatism in general are FAR weaker. We probably see Nevada not being alone in legal prostitution. The states that KErry Won/Alaska would at the very least have decriminalized pot... A better world. OH and some of africa might actually by developing and not devolving.

There are some very disturbing facts about aids

Mostly by a group of gay people that want to be "converted" because of it, and not into heterosexuality.
No these people want Aids they actually want to catch it and will go to converion parties sleep with people who have whatever...

I wouldn't be as afraid to sleep around in an aids free world

I follow Dan Savage religiously. Part of it is the Schadenfreude I get from watching the trainwrecks that other people have made out of their lives. :D

Funny, it may be an AIDS free world, but that doesn't make it sexually transmitted disease free.

Well I guess Botswana and South Africa wouldnt be looking at loosing a majority of their population over the next 2 decades.

And I dont understand how AIDS has any thing to do with the deciminalization of Marijuana.
