Confidential_CC: @Charliecondou @ryanjamesthomas is this gonna end with a pearl necklace *wink* (ahem, I mean, like in the movie) ???

Charliecondou: Now standing on a street corner waiting for @ryanjamesthomas . This Julia Roberts/Pretty Woman analogy has gone too far I think

NOT A JOKING MATTER!

UKPositiveLad: Screenshot of an RT of @caitlinmoran AIDS joke, before she deleted it. Stolen from @feministssa @thetimes

squelchuk: @UKPositiveLad @caitlinmoran @FeministsSA You think these people would know better. And what will @thetimes do? Bugger all, I'm guessing

UKPositiveLad: @squelchuk @caitlinmoran @feministssa @thetimes you'd think so, but nothing surprises me anymore.

Charliecondou: @UKPositiveLad @squelchuk @caitlinmoran @feministssa @thetimes but surely AIDS is very different to being HIV+? Correct me if I'm wrong...

UKPositiveLad: @Charliecondou AIDS often called late stage HIV infection now is when your immune system can no longer fight for itself @caitlinmoran

Charliecondou: @UKPositiveLad @caitlinmoran not a particularly good joke maybe, but really not as offensive as it first seemed.

poisonedessence: @Charliecondou @ukpositivelad @caitlinmoran people who have the condition might disagree about the offensive part. Really disappointed.

UKPositiveLad: @Charliecondou I, knowing people who've both died from AIDS and HIV/AIDS stigma find it highly offensive. The fact she blocked THT is worse.

Charliecondou: @UKPositiveLad fair enough. X

SCREEN SHOT OF 

THE OFFENSIVE TWEET 

UKPositiveLad: May I suggest that if you, like me, don't think HIV/AIDS is a laughing matter you complain to @thetimes about @caitlinmoran? #fightstigma

Ali_Wonderland: @UKPositiveLad @caitlinmoran it was a joke. She does a hell of a lot to fight stigma. It's ok to laugh about serious things. important even.

caitlinmoran: @Ali_Wonderland thank you, love xx

UKPositiveLad: @Ali_Wonderland a joke? It's not a joke to people living with it! Or relatives of those who've died from it. She even blocked Lisa from THT.

braddo1: @caitlinmoran @Ali_Wonderland It's just staggering. I'm lost for words at your total ignorance & lack of compassion /understanding

Flash_Jordon: @caitlinmoran It's times like this that the sarcastrophe needs to be used as some folk obviously don't get that this is a joke, not a slight

caitlinmoran: @Flash_Jordon hahah it's okay, I'm just blocking everyone who's being silly

thomasinmanc: @UKPositiveLad @caitlinmoran @thetimes What a silly thing to say. Very unhelpful. Hopefully an apology will follow.

UKPositiveLad: Yes it was a joke. But no apology was forthcoming. She even blocked a director at HIV charity @THTorguk when she asked to speak with her.

SHE WHO LIVES BY THE SWORD

glentheglen: This slight cold I have is brutal. It's worse than being a MORON. *average cough, small sneeze* @caitlinmoran

UKPositiveLad: @glentheglen @caitlinmoran very good ;)
