mrpikakip: You apparently are extremely uninformed when it comes to diseases. There are people who have caught AIDS/HIV without contamination and do not know how they got it. There are those who worked around it with safety measures taken in all aspects, they do not know how they got it. You can't say that a person can't get it 'by' because they do not know all the mutations of the diseases. It is not as simple as your brain appears to be. There are complications that you are totally unaware of. It might even be air born as far as some suspect. It's just that certain situations contaminate the victim such as people with mucus drainage in their throat keeps them from catching the flu because the mucus catches the germs and runs them out the body before the germ can embed itself. Didn't know that either did you? Don't assume anything, always know there is more then the problem then meets the eye. Just as Rabies is far more dangerous then you probably know as well.

Oh, and answering earlier questions, you can infact get AIDS from a bleeding wound, but I believe the amount of blood that needs to be transmitted if the virus is to survive is around 2 pints.That's alot of blood O__O

that is completely and utterly retarded.the AIDS and HIV viruses die instantly in contact with air. being in a pool or being exposed in open air for more than a second will completely eliminate it.As the the tards who suggested that the child infected with HIV and seriously bite another child to the point where HIV infection is possible....well at that point you should worry about your child not dying from blood loss, infection or polio if he sustains a bite injury serious enough to transmit AIDS.And they are absolutely right about one thing thou, there is no such thing as zero risk. Except the odds of you getting aids from a pool, shower or even broken glass amounts to 1 out of 10 to the 7th power.For comparison, the odds of you getting struck by lightning is 1 to 244,000.

foetusyumyums? And your point is? I don't know if you get it but...ugh...I don't want MY KID TO CATCH THAT KID'S HIV, END OF STORY! If you can't respect parents loving their children enough to PROTECT them from illnesses, deadly virus potentials, you should not be a parent. Should not have children under your care. They are in grave danger with people around them who would subject them to diseases that would kill them. Leukemia is thought to be caused by a 'virus'. My 1st son died of it, don't go there you have NO idea what you are talking about.

God, you people that are saying "we need to be cautious" about the other children, are just really dumb aren't you?THE VIRUS CAN NOT EXIST ONCE ITS EXPOSED TO AIR.PERIOD! WHICH IS WHY ALL OF YOUR HYPOTHETICAL "OH MY GOD! I STEPPED ON THAT SAME PIECE OF GLASS AND GOTS THE AIDS!!!" STORIES ARE COMPLETELY STUPID, MISINFORMED, AND BORDERLINE HILARIOUS.But hey man, why inform yourself, when you can go on gut instinct, and ignorance?That's the Alabama Way.-F.Y.Y.P.S. If you can't keep your small child from walking on broken, bloody glass, maybe this whole parenting thing isn't for you. Might be time to buy a cat, or something.

With everyone swishing their rear ends in the public pools I won't swim in one anyway, that is GROSS! It's like jumping into a cess pool. UGH!

Why would anyone in their right mind want to risk infecting OTHER children with HIV? Apparently, if someone had been MORE cautious in the FIRST PLACE this little boy would not have HIV! Offended? I would be a LOT more offended if your adopted kid gave MY child that virus! It would destroy a healthy life just so that you won't be offended? Give me a break!

obviously if he gets a cut then someone else can get it as well. and just because it is in chlorine does not mean that it is safe because if chlorine could kill aids and hiv then im pretty sure we would have a cure for it.
