don't get so upset, we are well aware that there are infact Qataris with HIV - this has been discussed before....

Its interesting though that there is a local internet forum associated with this, can you give us the link? It would be interesting to read.

Having a friend of mine back home who was infected with HIV after having a blood tranfusion, I have great sympathy for people who have contracted the virus via ways that are not normally associated with the disease.

Most people when they hear HIV or Aids, automatically assume its due to sex or drugs and forget that this virus can be contracted in other ways too.
