Robbie,
You are a funny, intelligent guy and I admire your work and your posts, but high blood pressure can often be mitigated by lifestyle choices (such as losing weight and changing diet). It also is not contagious. It cannot be inflicted on someone by someone else. HIV can.
Cancer is a terrible disease, and of the two I would prefer HIV over stage 4 cancer, but it is the fact that an otherwise healthy person can be given HIV by exposure to an infected person that causes the stigma and the fear.
