I agree with you in that it was misrepresentation, but I think very often today, HIV is downplayed. "The new diabetes" one show called it. It is an extremely big deal that is not a death sentence, but a life sentence.

I saw this episode the ethical question was interesting. I was not pleased with the fact that the Pediatrician who was overseeing the HIV positive young man's health was saying. If he had sex with his girlfriend he would "kill her". I think its this kind of misrepresentation that give HIV the stigma it still has, people are not "dying" from HIV in first world countries, the disease has become totally manageable. This mis-information keeps the fear going. I think Private Practice could be better
