AIDS is transmitted through the intermingling of blood supply as might happen with transfusion. I suspect we had all better hope that the current level of research on AIDS is funded or else hope to blazes that we never have a serious accident or have to have major surgery. YOUR assertions notwithstanding, AIDS is a potentially serious problem to the entire population; straight, gay or even abstinent. Frighten me? You bet. Your smug assurance of your own safety frightens me more, however. Byron Howes -- Byron C. Howes {decvax|akgua}!mcnc!ecsvax!bch
