Florida probes bite AIDS transmission claim in 91-year-old man
Florida health officials say a 91 year old man contracted HIV from a bite by a prostitute with bleeding gums, but CDC has not confirmed bite transmission. Investigators linked the HIV strain to a prior bite during a robbery in West Palm Beach, while authorities urge calm and note blood, not saliva, is the transmission medium. Palm Beach County officials issued alerts to 3,000 local facilities to watch for bite risks. The case was reported on the CDC site for nationwide awareness.
