Peoples's live are more important than tattoo's
But they're not going to use tattoo's - they're going to burn in to the skin. With the weakened immune system from HIV anyway in latter cases, there is a good chance these are going to be fatal.

I'm not good at addressing arguements by points. But I'll try.

The education point - this goes with religion. I was trying my hardest to avoid it because it's a personal opinion that I can't base in fact. However, it is well known that the catholic church is very, very against condom use - one thing that can and does prevent the spread. I do feel, because a lot of the education programs include proper condom usage, that the catholic church in particular discourages the spread of these programs. Abstainance won't work - people get horny. We need a different way to stop the spread. Just advocating condom usage and makig them more widespread would work even better than branding, which can be hidden.

The reduction of the worlds population - I do feel it needs to happen. There are too many of us, using up too many resources. I'm not saying kill everyone over 60 or something stupid like that. But we need to stop having as many kids, and lower the amount of people - HIV almost seems like natures way of doing that. Except we will beat the bastard in the end.
