Tom Price's wife asked about quarantining people with HIV

"I don’t want to say the quarantine word, but I guess I just said it,” Price said during the meeting, which was videotaped.

The lawmaker wife of former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price asked this week whether the government could quarantine people with HIV to limit transmission of the virus that causes AIDS.

Betty Price, a Georgia state representative from the Atlanta suburbs, made the inquiry during a Georgia House of Representatives study committee meeting about barriers to accessing adequate care. Price, an anesthesiologist, raised the question during an exchange with the director of the Georgia Department of Public Health’s HIV/AIDS epidemiology section.

"I don’t want to say the quarantine word, but I guess I just said it,” Price said during the meeting, which was videotaped.

"Is there an ability, since I would guess that public dollars are expended heavily in prophylaxis and treatment of this condition," she said. "So we have a public interest in curtailing the spread. What would you advise, or are there any methods legally that we could do, that would curtail the spread?”

OK, here we go.
You can’t get HIV from casual contact with a person infected with HIV, for example from a handshake, a hug, or a closed-mouth kiss. And you can’t get HIV from contact with objects such as toilet seats, doorknobs, or dishes used by a person infected with HIV.

In the United States, HIV is spread mainly by:
Having sex with someone who has HIV without using a condom or taking medicines to prevent or treat HIV, and by
Sharing injection drug equipment such as needles, with someone who has HIV.

So, a quarantine is completely unnecessary, and any doctor should know that.
This is simply fear and bigotry at work.
