If you were to contract AIDS does that mean God forced you to have sex with an infected person. How do you know that God has not healed someone of AIDS?
However, voluntary contact with an infected individual is not the only way to contract the virus. As well as non-consensual contact, including rape, there have also been other innocent people who have ended up infected after blood transfusions or handling infected bodily fluids and tissues. What about children born to HIV infected mothers? According to Avert.org, some 15-30% of such babies will become infected during pregnancy and delivery, while another 5-20% will become infected during breastfeeding. Innocents all - yet if you cannot entertain the idea of 'God' infecting them deliberately for some arcane or even sinister purpose, then 'God' either fails to prevent the infection, fails to care, fails to know and/or understand the problem, or fails to exist.
Agree, to many innocent people die of AIDS because of what you mentioned. I lost a good friend because of a transfusion, this is a Christian family and not once did they blame God. Those like my friend fell into a bad circumstance not of their own making and children who contract AIDS through birth or breast feeding come into a horrible situation. These however are still of someones irresponsibility, God did not cause the situation. Why blame God for a drug addict or sexually active person who donates blood, what about a parent wanting to have a child who does not get a simple blood test to make sure they can eliminate the possibility of infecting a child, seems like such a simple act of love. Why do atheist want to place blame on God, you do not believe, so you have no idea of who He is.

Can you answer a simple question, when has science cured one person of AIDS.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
