Don't Tell People the Truth

Many

people are scared of telling the truth about AIDS. They say it will

cause panic. The trouble is, lack of trust in what is being said

officially can cause near hysteria---as we have seen in reactions to

infected surgeons or nurses recently.

My

experience is that people respect you for being honest. No one believes

you if you deliberately play down risks. You lose all credibility when

you give the impression something is safe and someone dies after doing

it. Common sense tells people that certain things must carry some risk.

It

is stupid to say that if you follow guidelines you cannot become

infected with the virus causing AIDS from looking after someone with

the disease. Accidents happen. Guidelines may be hard to follow in all

situations and they may have to be modified in the future in the light

of experience. People know there are risks in nursing a person with

AIDS, just as there are in being operated on by an infected surgeon.

There must be. Anyone knows that. What is needed is to convince people

that when you say these risks are very small you can really be trusted;

that you are not giving people a false sense of security in order to

persuade them to do something you know might be dangerous. When people

really trust that you are telling the truth, the whole truth, and

nothing but the truth---then they see what the risks really are and

feel secure in knowing what they are dealing with. Knowing the truth

allows them to make intelligent decisions about what to do.

I'm going to tell the truth as best I can.

There

is a lot of extra information in the endnotes. These are in a shorthand

that any librarian can understand. Sufficient information is given to

turn to the exact pages of scientific publications. For reasons of

space, authors' names and titles of papers have usually been omitted.

Newspapers are from the UK unless stated. Use the Index and

cross-references.

Not everything is referenced.

Sometimes a figure or comment has been jotted down and used later

although I cannot remember the source. Sometimes the source has been a

personal interview. Where I want to protect the person's identity the

reference is `personal communication'. Many reference materials can be

ordered from your local library or the librarian can advise you

further. Student friends, doctors, or nurses will have access to much

larger libraries.

This book is about people.

Details of names, places, times and events have been altered where

necessary to protect identity. If you think you are reading about

someone or some place you know, you are probably mistaken. Some of the

medical case reports in Chapter 3 are compiled from real events in a number of people's lives.

This book is written from the perspective of a doctor who is also a church leader.

Some

Bible passages are written in the endnotes. These need to be read in

context. Almost any argument can be constructed out of isolated Bible

quotations. For three consecutive years recently I made it my business

to read the Bible each year from start to finish---to catch its overall

meaning and avoid `verse grabbing' pitfalls. I encourage you to do the

same.

Some parts of this book are sexually

explicit and some may find this offensive. As a doctor I deal with real

people in the real world who need accurate information and practical

help. I regret giving offence, but my goal is to save lives and to help

those affected.
