Hypocrisy and AIDS

Yesterday night I read a short story by Frederik Begbede about a medicine discovered to fight AIDS.
Anyway, it was part of his book "Stories under extasy" and was telling how he had sex with a huge number of girls in one day. It illustrated how much people are afraid of AIDS and what a relief they experienced when they found out there is a vaccine invented. To the extent of them being promiscuous...
Today I read that according to a research, a lot of Bulgarian medics are refusing to examine patients when they find out the people have AIDS.
This is really UGLY!!!
I cannot imagine that if you have given the Hipocrate's oath that you can find any excuse to not examine a person.
Ignorance - doctors do not know how to treat a patient with HIV or AIDS and make manipulations safely is the only explanation I can imagine.
Yet this is only explanation, not an excuse.
At least it shouldn't be an excuse in a country, that is in Europe, is civilized and is...open-minded.
I am so tired of people saying they "really care" and then - behaving like real cowards when it comes to facing the problem.
