>What was your opinion on how they handled the HIV storlyine?

I think he did a great job with it. The scenes were filled with education and emotion. Its ironic that a show
like B&B, thats criticized to be trashy, did a better
job with a social issue than its rivals. B&B did
everything right, they didn't make it the focus of the
show, just as they also didn't just use it as a plot device
or a PR stunt. Some criticize B&B for not mentioning
Tony's HIV status in a while, why should they? I guess those people criticizing need more education when it comes
to people living with HIV, who live "normal" lives for
many, many years. Tony will always have HIV, it is
something his character must always deal with, and
part of dealing with it is to continue living life.
