<div>People are not "infected" with AIDS. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, resulting from infection with the retrovirus HIV. HIV can be transmitted by an infected person without that person having AIDS, which is why all apparently healthy people with any chance of exposure (needles, blood, blood transfusion, in utero, sex, even for those in monogamous relationships, given the rate of sexual liaisons that are hidden, even when someone cannot imagine their partner would be "unfaithful") should be tested for HIV. When someone develops AIDS they are likely to know they are sick. The legal brothels in Nevada test their employees for HIV status. Prostitutes working in other contexts may not be as responsible, of course: </div>
