You know, Brian's link just shows how people who don't have the education about this disease can behave totally irrationally about it. Shortly after I told my sister I was gay I was at my parents' house and I banged my head. My mom pulled out a tissue and started to wipe my forehead and my sister freaked out. She yelled "Don't touch him! He can take care of it himself". I was really surprised by this but then I realized that she thought just because I was gay that I must have AIDS.
