Here is a question which I am often asked but cannot answer; does anyone
have a satisfactory answer?  "If AIDS can be transmitted through blood
on a needle, then why can't it be transmitted in a swimming pool or public  
restroom etc...?"  I don't know the mechanics well enough
to give someone a good reply; can you help me out?
