'This is not a death sentence'

Abstract:
When Chris Bell found out he was HIV-positive, he went home, sat down and watched "Law and Order." He didn't cry or lash out at his partner who infected him, he said. He watched television and started his homework. "I had papers to grade," said Bell, a post-doctorate research fellow and soon-to-be professor at Syracuse University....

Chris is one of the most profound, inspiring, dedicated, knowledgeable and captivating persons I have ever met. I feel privileged to have met him; he enriched me greatly and he is dearly in my heart, even if we are thousands of km apart... Anyone would be lucky to be his student.

This is indeed a tragedy, and to think how easily it could have been averted by not engaging in the behavior which made Mr. Bell susceptible to the virus. Of course, under the rules of PC one is not allowed to much such observations. The only good to come out of this is if others are warned in time to avoid a similar fate.

It is very unfortunate that Chris is ill, however I cant believe that he Went around Baltimore and was sleeping around, not telling his partner's about his HIV status. How very sad that he would wish his condition on others. This article is well written, it almost makes me not feel like he is somewhat of a murder, spreading HIV without others knowledge. It is a shame. May God bless him anyway, even though he says he has no idea what the Bible is about.
As far as the sentence involving Chris as an educator...i have heard other wise.
please read his dissertation.
