Maybe I haven't read closely enough...and maybe I am biased because I work in HIV/AIDS....but....the CDC says:
Saliva, Tears, and Sweat
HIV has been found in saliva and tears in very low quantities from some AIDS patients. It is important to understand that finding a small amount of HIV in a body fluid does not necessarily mean that HIV can be transmitted by that body fluid. HIV has not been recovered from the sweat of HIV-infected persons. Contact with saliva, tears, or sweat has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV.
Sooooo.....I don't understand how they were able to successfully argue that his spit was a deadly weapon.
