I, too, remember the fear. I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt, I can imagine how horrible that would be for a kid of 9 to know but not know at the same time. The thing about Huckabee's statements, however, is that they came during the 92 Presidential campaign. It wasn't the early days of the epidemic. Hell, Reagan was out and advocating by that time, Rock Hudson having already died fo AIDS several years before.
