thanks for the reply.. but to be honest ... new researches indicate that HIV can survive outside the host for upto 14 days. taking about discrimination, I don't think no one uses friends cup regardless of any circumstances whether he have HIV or not.

He is saying that makes him happy because the person is using the cup he used without worrying about being infected or discriminating against him. Sometimes an action that small can really mean a lot to someone who is especially going through something like him. Plus the virus is dead when it hits the air.

All of the people who come forward are truly Ethiopian heroes!!!

It's true that people from a "high class" to my knowledge never come forward to be a role model and many people think that HIV is not there and fall for their appearance and material.

[Bemu87]

The person who was talking at around 1:40 said "some people drink using the same cup that I used....and I am happy...." I dont think this using the same cup or plate has anything to do with HIV victims discrimination. It doesn't matter whether you have HIV or not but using the cup to drink is not the right thing to do or its out of the appropriate manner.

Bertu. That is the only thing I can say.
