No Nothing to Fear - Right!

The New York Times > Health > 19 on H.I.V. Drugs After Needle Prick
These are children, children -- haven't we heard there is nothing to be fearful from individuals with HIV... Well maybe not for adults but that obviously doesn't apply to children. How would you feel if one of these children were yours?
PHILADELPHIA, April 30 (AP) - Nineteen elementary schoolchildren who were pricked with a diabetes-testing needle by another student are taking strong drugs to fight H.I.V. after one of the children tested positive for the virus, officials said.
The authorities have ruled out the possibility that the child who tested positive for the virus, which causes AIDS, could have been infected by the needle prick.
