...everyone who can spread a disease that may be undetectable for up to three years, after infection? Lock the entire population up in solitary confinement until they stop dying?
Yes, in an ideal world, people would recognize that fooling around is dangerous, and for that reason alone potentially injurious to the fabric of society (if for no other reason than, if it kills them, society loses a member); and in an ideal world one could detect the presence of an infection without time for incubation.
Unfortunately, we live in a real world, where people behave irrationally, often as they have been taught for generations; and where retroviruses have a nasty habit of hiding in bodily systems that are not readily tested without risk of *serious* harm to the patient.
