Scott emphasized that anyone who is sexually active is at risk for infection.

Totally inaccurate. Monogamous sexually active people have zero risk of contracting this disease. (Assuming their partner is also monogamous.)

I almost agree. It is near zero. There is still the possibility of a tainted needle or blood transfusion. But it is almost zero.

Technically, that isn't true. There is a very minor risk of receiving the HIV virus through a blood transfusion which accidently passed through the screening or passage of body fluids from an infected person to a healthy person. This might be an accident where an infected person is bleeding and a helper gets some of the infected blood into an open wound, such as a scratch, on their body.

The risk is so slight that it is hardly worth a mention, but it is the reason health care workers are covering up now more than they were in the 70s.

I've always said, it depends on the agenda of these advocates. If you don't want to be served by a cook with HIV, or be on the same basketball court as someone with HIV, then these advocates howl at you and say that "HIV/AIDS is practically impossible to get".

On the other hand, if you don't want to give these advocates what they want, i.e. money, or you don't take part or advocate "AIDS awareness programs", then these very same advocates say "anyone can get HIV/AIDS".
