Sorry I've been incommunicado for a few days. Have just caught up with things. That was absolutely brilliant! You've really captured the fear and prejudice which surrounded the emergence of AIDS. The dialogue is believable and Sirius' and Remus' reactions are perfectly observed. As for this - I don’t think disease knows those sorts of boundaries Sirius. I think there are ignorant, scared people trying very hard not to shoulder a responsibility. - only Remus would have the experience to comment like that and it's exactly what happened. If prejudice hadn't been involved who knows how different things could have been, how many lives could have been saved.. Thanks very much for a good fic and for responding to the challenge. :)
