You know, to be honest, I would continue to see my Doctor if he had AIDS. Unless he bleeds into your eyeball, mouth or an open wound on your body, then I think a person would be safe. It's the Doc's manner and skill that are important to me. However, a lot of people would be afraid because of ignorance and I don't mean that in an insulting way. A lot of people are fearful of that which they do not understand so the poor Doc might not get many patients. Come to think of it, I was treated by a Doctor who had AIDS but I wasn't worried and I'm fine to this day.

What about molecular virology?  It's very fasinating, very complicated, and what you discover can help save lives.  It's anything BUT boring, and it's hard, a thing I LOVE about it.

DERMATOLOGISTS are specialist doctors who treat skin and STDs diseases.....\n\nUsually GPs refer the skin diseases cases to them.

In very general terms............a specialist would specialize in one specific area.  I'm not familiar with the field but in HR for example, a specialist might be someone who just works in compensation.  A generalist on the other hand, would be involved in several aspects of the field......again in HR a generalist might deal with compensation, benefits, hiring, and recruiting rather than just focus on one area.  Apply that same logic to your field and I'm sure that's what it means.

find a different doctor.  Any educated doctor knows there is no great risk to him/her personally in treating HIV or AIDS patients...sounds like some sort of holier than thou personal reaction on the part of the doctor.  Doctor's choose thier specialty, so you can always find another that WILL treat- like an infectious disease specialist.
