As far as I know, you only get AIDS once!
 
Except for me! I got AIDS twice! One for each ear! (grin!)
 
Hearing aids, to make sure you follow, gee I'd hate you to misinterprete

the person with AIDS got it through no fault of theirs?

        mate allegedly involved in the aquistion of this alleged disease?
