Potentially expose others???????

My God I am amazed at the abject ignorance displayed here.

Please, site me 1 case, 1 case where ANYONE has contracted HIV by simply swimming in a pool with an HIV+ person.

This pool owner broke the law, and it will likely cost him very dearly.

It’s shameful that such ignorance exists in this day and age on this topic.

Go ahead. Let your kid be the first.

“This pool owner broke the law, and it will likely cost him very dearly.”

It’s a private pool. What law?

How did the second person on earth get AIDS? Answer: From the first person.

I have been a school teacher for 15+ years, I have been bled on, spit on, scratched and bitten by kids who may or may not have HIV. I can't ask and they won't tell me who is infected. The odds are that sooner or later I will be exposed, without my knowledge because of your half-assed amazement.

Happy swimming.

I’m sure there are cases of people contracting AIDS/HIV without being sure where the infection came from.

Never say never.

This is what actually happened:
"We weren't sure if somebody could get the virus if the child upchucked on them or from blood or what," said Ken Zadnichek, the park's owner. "We didn't know what the risk was. That's why we asked for something from their doctor or the county health department."

Dick Glover said the request for a doctor's note made it clear Caleb was unwelcome.

In other words, these loathesome old people were fishing for somebody to sue, and they found one. They knew full well that HIV+ no longer refers to just a medical condition; it refers to a protected class. That's why they went to the press instead of the doctor to solve their problem.

And do you think those two are going to adopt a toddler, HIV status or not? Look at their photo and think again.

I’m not sure you can pick up an aids virus in the pool,but I have read storys where the children did have loose stools in the pool and made others sick. I guess it would depend on how much chlorine was being used.

How long does it usually take for the virus to manifest itself?

Do you think that five years from now a parent could put two and two together with a swim in a pool?

This is a weak argument at best.
