The conversation wasn't about HIV but when it came up he explained that the affect on his life nowadays extends to a tablet once a day. No side affects, he's not contagious under any circumstances and his condition won't degrade.
It's a cowardly crime to commit but, as far as i'm aware, the material affect on someone's life would, thankfully, be almost nought.
Medically you're right, but I think you need to consider the psychological impact being HIV positive would have on someone before saying the effect on someone's life would be almost nought.
That band clearly have a fantastic attitude towards it but I don't think everyone would necessarily be the same. I don't mean that in a patronising way at all.
