It is the goal of all creatures to survive and to reproduce. If a disease is killing those who try to reproduce and a vaccine is available, then naturally, we should release the vaccine to prevent this. I do not approve of whores or anything like that, but a person could just as easily contract HIV from his or her spouse, who could've possibly been the only person they've ever performed sexual intercourse with. Do they deserve this "punishment" from God? The idea that STDs are a punishment from God is a huge assumption anyway, and last I checked, church and state were separate. This is the survival of human beings we're toying with here.
