Just HIV or.........?

I read with some disgust the comments by Nigel Farage regarding people with HIV not being able to come to the UK.

In my view there are only two possible reasons for him to say such an awful thing.

The first is that he is concerned about the time and resources that people with HIV can require from the NHS. Now if that is the case why has he just picked on HIV? Why has he not talked about Chronic Diseases such as Diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Heart Disease, Stroke or Arthritis? All of these disease are hugely more prevalent than HIV amongst the worlds population and take up far more of the NHS resources.

The second is that HIV and those suffering from it is something that he feels the world should actively discriminate against? To me this is more likely. Sad isn't it?
