Mike Huckabee's 1992 call for AIDS quarantines — which he defended in his Fox News Sunday interview — have now attracted a high-profile detractor. Jeanne White-Ginder, the mother of the late Ryan White, says she wants to meet with Huckabee and talking to him about the comments. "We have to treat this disease like a disease, and like Ryan always said, not like a dirty word," White-Ginder told the Associated Press.

Ryan White became famous in the 1980's after he was diagnosed with HIV at age 13, having contracted it through a tainted blood treatment for his hemophilia. He then had to endure a court battle when local parents and teachers in his Indiana hometown worked to bar him from going to school, despite doctors saying the disease could not be spread through casual contact. He died at age 18.
