Remember when AIDS was becoming a household name? Eddie Murphy had a joke about your girlfriend going out with her gay friend, kissing him on the lip and bringing home the AIDS. Can you imagine if we forced people to get AIDS I.D. cards? If you can't prove you don't have AIDS you can't work, can't buy food, can't travel. Random housewives screaming in the faces of gay men. And if you DO have AIDS? What then? There is a pretty good reason why medical records are kept private.
