50% of doctors nationwide would rather not treat patients with AIDS if
they had a choice.  This isn't too surprising on the surface; but the 
depressing parts are the reasons they wouldn't, in order of frequency:

1) homophobia;
2) not wanting to work with IV drug users;
3) fear of getting infected.

sigh... we've still got a long way to go.
