I also noticed this article and this confirms my suspicions from day 1 that 
Dr. Acer was doing something wrong in his infection control techniques at his 
office.  Of the number of contacts per day between HIV infected patients and 
various doctors, you would expect many doctors becoming HIV infected but I 
don't see this happening.

I really wish that CDC would start discussing the possibility that Dr. Acer 
was lax, instead this open ended announcements give more credence to 
uninformed individuals that AIDS can be transmitted through proper infection 
control barriers.
