Quote from interview:

Don't two-thirds of babies born with HIV seroconvert, go from HIV positive to HIV-negative?It's about half and half, depending on what studies you look at. But that's good enough for the virus to survive. When the U.S. army tests the applicants, 16-, 17-, 18-year-old kids, one in 1,000 is positive. Well, how come? 'Cause they already had 1,000 sexual contacts with somebody who is HIV-positive? [More likely] that guy picked it up from his mother, or father, and was positive all along and didn't even know it, until the U.S. army tested him.
