I know the ways in which the disease can be transmitted. I'm not an idiot. I've just never heard of the disease being passed on by drinking water.

I'm certain I did not call you an idiot. I posted the information because it lays to rest some common misconceptions people may have about the virus. Always better to have solid information than just rumors and uncertainties.

^o^ oh come on! where's your creativity!? just kidding, sorry... i get paranoid kinda easily so i can get lost in it a little... but yes...

back on topic...

i don't think the parents of the other children are completely in the wrong, they're worried for their children's safety... however, i do have a problem with treating people like outcasts... they're still living, breathing, functioning people and they have a right to live as much as everybody else...

it's just that they're sick... very sick... and i'd just think it's be better if they had a chance to grow before the responsibility of their's and everyone's health is shoved on them at such an early age...

can you imagine having to be careful around other children so you don't give them your incurable disease? i think the child should grow more so it's a little less damaging to hold that responsibility...

and since HIV comes from bodily fluids coming into contact, that's a very plausible way of getting it. (Soshi Kitai says: Plausible, but still not too likely)

There's no blood in saliva. You can't get AIDS from spitting. Nor can you get it from kissing someone.

Yup, as our teacher said... you'd need to drink a big bucket of saliva to get AIDS from it... So actually, you could as well say you can't get AIDS from saliva...

I think the only way it can be transmitted in water is if there's a man bleeding to death in the lake. It needs blood to survive, it lives off of immune systems and what not.
