Recently the TimesDaily ran an article on Alabama Health Department official Tom Robertson who appeared at a local school for AIDS Day. The article, written by Lisa Singleton-Rickman was extremely similar to one she wrote on the same subject in 2013.
However, the 2013 article correctly stated that saliva does not transmit the HIV virus. The 2015 article incorrectly quoted Robertson as saying it did. Everyone should take precautions against the virus which is spread via contact with body fluids. I assume this misinformation was a misprint. One cannot acquire the virus through contact with either saliva or a mosquito bite.
Hoping everyone stays safe. You have a role to play in life!
