A
Members of a household in which there is a person who is HIV-positive
B
Receptionists at a hospital
C
Factory workers whose coworkers are HIV-positive
D

High-Yield Explanation
Many believe that casual contact with patients who are HIV-positive increases the risk of acquiring the disease. This is not the case. It is also clear that homosexual females have a low rate of HIV acquisition. Because a substantial portion of the blood supply in Central African countries is HIV-infected, hospitalization is risky particularly if transfusion is necessary.
