I have never known anyone with it (as far as I know at least) but I really do think that most people now days understand that it isn't really that easy to catch unless you're having sexual relations with the person or using the same drug needles. It also isn't quite the death sentence it used to be. Yes, it is still a fatal disease but with the drugs they have now it can be managed a lot better than it could be back in the 80's when they discovered it. So if I knew someone with it I guess that is how I would try to help them cope...just let them know that as long as they listen to their doctors and take their meds they can still live long, productive lives.
