UPDATE 12/1/2010 - please visit this blog http://gillispiefam.blogspot.com/2010/11/world-aids-day-dear.html She writes about it prefectly! Much more proficiently than I can.
You CANNOT contract HIV from casual contact. HIV is not found in tears, sweat, snot, feces and urine.
You don’t have to fear catching HIV through day-to-day activities with people who are HIV+. You are free to share plates, cups, utensils, food, toilets, towels, linens and other household items without risk of transmission.
There has never been a case of accidental transmission in a normal household setting.
HIV cannot be spread by shaking hands, hugging, & kissing infected individuals.
Chances are, you know someone with HIV/AIDS. Chances are, you can't tell them apart from anybody else in the crowd. Please, if you haven't already, take a few moments to educate yourself about what HIV/AIDS is today--a chronic but VERY MANAGEABLE disease! Please, if you know the TRUTH about HIV--spread it! It's contagious! (courtesy of http://www.gillispiefam.blogspot.com/)
