Well, I've got a simple solution.  Everyone with HIV can be sterilized,
and those infected women who are pregnant will have their fetuses
forcibly aborted (and then sterilized).  I think it's just disgusting
that people with HIV expect the right to reproduce and infect their
offspring with the most horrible disease in the world.  I'm not going
to deny that HIV drugs may cause birth defects, but who cares?  Is
a birth defect worse than being born infected (but otherwise
physically "normal")?  Given a choice, would I have chosen to have
been born with a nasty incurable virus that would have cause me to
rot away like a pound of hamburger in the sun by the age of 5, or would
I have chosen a missing limb or two and being uninfected to live an
otherwise healthy life?

The situation in Africa is rapidly approaching the critical point.
Very soon the majority of Africans will be infected, as will their
children, and you will have a most dysfunctional society in which
people are born infected, are kept alive by expensive drugs long
enough to reproduce, give birth to another generation of infected,
then die a very icky death.  The cost of their medical treatment
will far exceed their lifetime economic production, and the
economies of their countries will collapse and their societies
will descend into anarchy (well, more anarchy than exists at
present).  I imagine at some point that being HIV+ will not only
be tolerated, but actually encouraged, with those HIV- people
being perceived as "abnormal" and actually a threat to the status
quo.
