Ian Scott - When you talk to various medical authorities.. we probably have cases incubating in this country already.. there are a lot of question marks.. legal situation.. chickens coming home to roost.. we can go to the politicians and say look at this ridiculous law.. it would be very easy to get a backlash against homosexuals

Burnett - What people get AIDS.. In the first 70-cases there were many drug users, promiscuousness people.. It’s not how many partners you have but what you do with them.. safe sex ..body fluids – blood, semen.. life’s hard, life’s risky - let’s just enjoy it.. Its hard to make those changes.. It’s your responsibility.. we should not let the epidemic stop intimacy.. people are being treated like lepers
