HIV can be spread by having unprotected sexual contact with an HIV-positive person.

Similarly, more than one-third (and nearly two-thirds of those with no education) would refuse to share a meal with an HIV-positive person.

Only 1 HIV-positive person out of approximately 300 is in this category.

He was the nation's first openly HIV-positive person elected to office.

Treating HIV-positive persons may mean that many of them can continue functioning, as schoolteachers or whatever.
