The message from decwrl!asente said that one theory on the mode of
AIDS transmission was the "exchange of bodily fluids".  I wonder
what this means regarding swimming in areas where sewerage is
occasionally found?   Sewerage would contain "bodily fluids".
Specifically, sewer sludge was reported
as washed up on a Long Island beach last year, and I have seen
many instances of items like tampon applicators washed up on
the beaches.  I wonder how safe it is to swim along Long
Island's south shore, or any shore near the sewerage outlets of a major city?
