Message-ID: <30354@shemp.CS.UCLA.EDU> Date: 28 Dec 89 16:12:05 GMT Sender: news@CS.UCLA.EDU Reply-To: danj1@ihlpa.ATT.COM (Dan Jacobson) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville IL, USA Lines: 9 Approved: aids@cs.ucla.edu Archive-number: 1594 Will I get AIDS if while traveling in Africa I have an accident, get taken to a hospital, and get a blood transfusion? 50/50 chance? If so then I suppose many people would be scared to go as tourists on their own there. I am thinking of Africa south of the Sahara and north of (ugh) South Africa.
