Answer to Question 1

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide the following clarifications concerning how AIDS is not transmitted:
 AIDS is a blood-borne, primarily sexually transmitted disease. It is not spread by casual social contact in schools, workplaces, public washrooms, or restaurants. It is not spread via handshakes, social kissing, coughs, sneezes, drinking fountains, swimming pools, toilet facilities, eating utensils, office equipment, or by being next to an infected person. No cases of AIDS have been reported from food being either handled or served by an infected person in an eating establishment.
 AIDS is not spread by giving blood. New needles and transfusion equipment are used for every donor.
 AIDS is not spread by mosquitoes or other insects.
 AIDS is not spread by sexual contact between uninfected individuals--whether homosexual or heterosexual--if an exclusive sexual relationship has been maintained.

Answer to Question 2

The following groups of people are at the highest level of risk with regard to AIDS: (1) homosexuals who do not take appropriate precautions, (2) IV drug users who share needles; (3) people with a history of multiple blood transfusions or blood-product transfusions, such as hemophiliacs; and (4) sexually promiscuous people who do not take appropriate precautions.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
