Yeah, well don’t sweat that, I guess.
Three British scientists shocked the world when they revealed on May 16th, 1985 – 25 years ago – [...]
This has been discussed for quite a while, and it has of course been controversial ever since its implementation, but thank goodness we’ve finally gotten around to lifting the ban on HIV infected tourists.
