The facts on AIDS &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 About 1 million Americans are infected with HIV, and at least 40,000 more
become infected each yearFewer than half know they are infected, but they can
still infect others. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most people infected with HIV do not show any symptoms of disease for many
years. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 HIV infection itself does not affect one's ability to do his/her job. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 There is no risk to co-workers or the public from casual contact with an
HIV~infected person. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 HIV can be transmitted: by having sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or
oral) with a man or woman who is infected with the virus; by sharing needles
or syringes with someone who is infected with the virus; from an HIV-infected
woman to her child during pregnancy or childbirth or,in rare cases, through
breast-feeding; from transplanted tissue or organs or from HIV-infected blood,
blood prod~ucts, or plasma. (This has been very rare since 1985, when blood
centers across the nation were required to begin screening all donated blood
for HIV.) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 How HIV is NOT transmitted: You cannot simply "catch" it like cold or flu
viruses. You cannot become infected from air, food, water, insects, or animals
or from a handshake, sneeze, hug, or other casual contact, or even from
sharing cups and dishes, tools, telephones, computer keyboards, bathroom
facilities, or drinking fountains. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
