The only problem I have with AIDS clinic is the inherent politics of it. Compassion is involved, but they also become political. I notice you have not been involved, but neither have I.
With a cancer clinic, or support clinic, there really isn't any politics involved, just compassion.

I'm not sure I agree with this. Compassion comes from the individual serving. If you bring politics into your heart while you serve, then yes there are politics.
Liver cancer secondary to alcohol abuse? Lung cancer secondary to smoking? Politics there?
I don't think the Savior would start parsing his compassion to individuals based on perceived worthiness. Wasn't the female adulterer the pariah of the day?
If you can't imagine Jesus among those with HIV/AIDS, then I think you've got the wrong Jesus.
