Dear Mervyn, Let us make a deal. As I do not understand much about Gold et other investment, I will NOT debate with you on the topic of financial investment. As I am NOT sure if you know enough about whether or NOT these Rivona HIV+ve kids were adequately monitored and managed, I will not debate further with you on that topic either. I'd suggest, however, that there usually is a serious difference between the TB contracted (and transmitted) by an HIV+ve person and that by a non-HIV+ve person. Though, in many parts of the world, India included, that difference is being blurred. BTW: I notice that a BJP personality has chosen to abuse the Church with this HIV issue. BRAVO ! jc
