AIDS is actually pretty hard to catch.
This sounds bogus.

AIDS is actually pretty hard to catch. This sounds bogus.

They're not saying that 50 people caught it, only that as many as 50 people have been exposed. It has to be related to sexual activity or needles such as drugs, tatoos, or peircings. Perhaps the person who started all of this has been peircing kid's ears or doing little jail-house tatoos.

In order to protect the privacy of the 50 possibly exposed, they're funneling the entire school through the gym for the opportunity to be tested or to refuse.
