4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]hc AIDS virus is hard to get and easily avoided. You won’t just "catch” AIDS like a cold or flu because the virus is a different type. The AIDS virus is transmitted through sexual intercourse, the sharing of drug needles, or to babies of infected mothers before or during birth. You won’t get the AIDS virus through everyday contact with the people around you in school, in the workplace, at parties, child care centers, or stores. You won’t get it by swimming in a pool, even if someone in the pool is infected with the AIDS virus_ You won't get AIDS from a mosquito bite. The AIDS virus is not transmitted through a mosquito’s salivary glands like other disease[s] such as malaria or yellow fever. You won’t get it from bed bugs, lice, flies, or olher insects, either. You won’t get AIDS from saliva, sweat, tears, urine, or a bowel movement. You won’t get AIDS from a kiss. You won’t get AIDS from clothes, a telephone or from a toilet seat. It can’t be passed by using a glass or eating utensils that someone else has used. You won't get the virus by being on a bus, train, or crowded elevator with a person who is infected with the virus, or who has AIDS.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We agree with [plaintiff] that he could have a colorable claim ... if he could show that there is “a pervasive risk of harm to inmates” of contracting the AIDS virus and if there is “a failure of prison officials to reasonably respond to that risk.” ... However, we disagree that this claim pres ents such a situation. As already noted the risks being alleged by [plaintiff] are unsubstantiated fears unrecognized by the mainstream medical community. Accordingly, we are unwilling to term as unreasonable the prison officials’ decision not to institute a wholesale AIDS testing and segregation program in response to these specific fears.”
