Most people probably wouldn't but I would. As long as I don't have any open wounds, the risk to me would me minimal. I used to be an EMT for my local ambulance service so I know how to be careful. And I couldn't stand not doing anything to help.

Thanks. I'm not sure but I think you would have a greater risk of catching hepatitis from a person than you would AIDS. All people should get the help they need regardless of what conditions they have.

most people just think that is the person is infercted with hiv or has aids they'll probably die any way so why take the risk?well, it'a matter of every person's concience...i don't think i could just stand and watch either considering the circumstances...
