When talking to me about A.I.D.S., my mother told me that she knew a woman who had died of A.I.D.S...When I asked her how that woman got the disease in the first place, my mother told me that "She had been with many men", and from then on I was afraid of being around too many males in one place at one time, for fear of getting A.I.D.S.
