    I made the mistake of researching an AIDS patient on my personal phone (I wasn’t familiar with IRIS syndrome and some of the meds, I wanted to make sure I knew what meds I was giving and why). Advertisers are CERTAIN that I have AIDS now and that follows me EVERYWHERE months after the fact. Super annoying to have AIDS ads everywhere, I can’t imagine how triggering it must be for someone who is actually dealing with the diagnosis.
