So you don't know about it legally either?
I agree with you that being required to carry notes would be stupid. But carrying information to provide to people might also be easier because so far we haven't managed to get rid of all the stupid people.
I agree with you about the pool owner and universal precautions. It's a little scary to think about how he cleans up usually.
They are trying it in the court of public opinion and I think they'll win with people who aren't using that pool.
But I still don't think what that guy did amounts to a ban.
And I still think the parents will likely face more unnecessary uphill struggles if they announce the kid's HIV status to people who don't really need to know it.
Imagine in all the examples that you gave earlier, the person is shouting out, "I have HIV." "Hey, waitress thanks for bring me silverware; I have HIV." "Hey is this seat on the bus taken?; I have HIV." "Can I use your bathroom; I have HIV?" Isn't the person unnecessarily setting himself or herself up for a lot of junk that could be avoided?
