• Yes I would.  If i even knew.  My children are old enough where I can tell them not to share a cup, open wounds, etc...

• I think I would take steps to prevent the risk, but I would not be that ignorant to a child. I work in healthcare and have had many "Aids" client's, you take precautions and you do your job. I would feel sooo bad, if my child had aids and a parent was that ignorant and if their that ignorant, they must not be educated on Aids!

• which is why you supervise your children when they are on play dates, whether the child is HIV + or not.

  What an idiotic question, Aids is transferable by blood contact, you do realize children get cuts and scraps, play blood brother's and sister's that sort of thing right?

   I would not, the risk is not something I would be willing to take with my child's life. People may say I am cruel or heartless, but I don't care, my children and their safety is my number one priority!

  Do your children typically have sex with other children?

• This is a dumb question. My child can play with whoever they want. It is not my place to even be asking those questions in the first place.

• I am not ignorant on how aids is spread. I don't have a misconception about salivia being a way to transfer it, I just remember when I was young and became blood sister's with my best friends, I would not won't my children to face a life with aids because they acted on a whim as a child.

  not cruel and heartless, but you are obviously ignorant on how HIV/AIDS is spread. Educate yourself.  And to answer your question. of coarse I would.

• Being that you need sexual contact, IV needles or direct open wound pressed up against open wound to transmit the disease, YES I would definitely let my children play with a child with HIV/AIDS.  It is ridiculous the lack of education on this subject.  Like playing barbies, or basketball together would transmit it.  You're more likely to get a cold before you are infected with HIV.

• then teach your children not to do that. Oh and like I said before supervision. Your excuses for your ignorance are lame.

• Unless you ask, you won't know.  Your child could have already played with someone at school or on the playground that is infected with HIV and you have no clue.
  

  Quoting jdavis2:
  
  

  No, but if I know a child does have aids then my children will not be allowed to play with that child!
  

  Quoting itsallabtthem84:
  
  

  So are you going to ask all the parents if there child has aids before they play with yours.
