In 1987 it was too early for them to confidently and realistically expect the character to survive for any length of time, so I can understand that they needed it to be someone they could kill off. Showing the audience that anyone could contract HIV from a blood transfusion has limited value in terms of a social message since needing a blood transfusion or ensuring that the blood supply is safe is typically out of the control of an individual. So the only constructive social value in having a character who contracted HIV/AIDS indisputably through no fault of her own would be in showing that it was safe for the people of Bay City to socialize with her. As far as I recall they didn't have any controversy among regular characters about whether to accept Dawn or shun her -- Scott fell in love with her at first sight and nobly and chastely dated her. Nobody, not even Reginald, tried to keep them apart or refused to be physically near her. Only Chris Noth as the dean of her college went to court to prevent her from attending classes and maybe some random strangers yelled at her about possibly having low morals once. They didn't try to integrate any real stakes in the main cast. Nobody risked seeming to be a villain, nobody had to unlearn a prejudice. Scott took her on a beautiful vacation where she died beautifully and then came back and picked up the pieces with Cheryl. It was an isolated temporary issue storyline with very little impact. -
The GOP loves guns more than children. Except unborn fetuses. And that is just to control women. Once born, another target for the NRA! This country is SICK. -

I don't believe that's a forgone conclusion. A lot can change between now and the election. -
