Tony Moschetti (''Hasn't the paper run enough stories on AIDS?,'' letter, Dec. 17), has certainly opened my eyes to how simple AIDS and AIDS-related death can be. Could we persuade Moschetti to share his thoughts about sickle cell anemia?

Hasn't the paper run enough stories on AIDS?
The News & Record, in an attempt to maintain its politically correct posture, has trotted out another of the almost daily articles on AIDS. This one was headlined, ''Aids toll: Quilt passes, collects another panel.''
I'm sick and tired of reading about AIDS marches, AIDS quilts and the AIDS toll. Why not the syphilis toll? How about a herpes quilt? And why not a gonorrhea march? Why? Because AIDS is a politically correct behaviorally transmitted disease while the others are simply behaviorally transmitted diseases.
How smart does one need to be to understand just how simple it is to avoid having one's name on an AIDS quilt? For those who don't know, just send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I'll tell you a few foolproof methods.
We have this relatively small group who continue to play Russian roulette and then are surprised when there is a bullet in the chamber. Do we have a Triad Health Project for those who smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, then die of lung cancer? Of course not.
AIDS is not random. One has to do certain things to contract AIDS. Most of those actions are aberrant behavior. Just stop it and you won't contract AIDS.
What can be more simple than that?
We need to get the politics out of the AIDS debate. No other killer disease can be so easily eradicated from society as can AIDS. The gutless politicians have to stand up to the powerful gay lobbies who pay millions to keep this disease political.
