AIDS: Assessing the Risk among Athletes.

Hamel, Ruth

Physician and Sportsmedicine, v20 n2 p139-40,142,145-46 Feb 1992

Since Magic Johnson's retirement, athletes and sports organizations are more interested in HIV and AIDS. Many seek answers from physicians about the risk of transmission through athletic competition and the rights of HIV-positive players. Physicians can counsel patients about reducing risk. The article discusses risk, testing, policies, education, and lifestyle. (SM)
