Blood screening is probably still pretty good here in the States, though. I haven't heard of anyone getting AIDS from blood, recently. If it does happen, it is very rare.

It is all a game of the odds — the more partners you have the increased chance that you'll get it. And if you hang out with the wild crowd or your friends hang out with the wild crowd, then your chances are increased of getting it.

Better to be monogamous. I can confidently say that I won't get it. My chances are very slim that I might get it from a blood transfusion. I am not worried.

If I was into the bathouse scene or liked prostitutes, then I'd be worried.

However, I do pity the poor innocent person who gets it. And I loathe the person who gave it to him or her.

No argument that promiscuity massively increases the odds of getting this disease, but your partner needs to be monogamous as well and as we all know that doesn’t always happen.

It’s also worth noting that if we crack HIV, we can also crack a number of other retrovirii, some of which cause cancer and are transmitted through unclear means.
