In the United States,those at greatest risk of HIV infection include: men who have sex with other men (MSM),also called homosexual men; intravenous drug users who share needles or syringes; sexual partners of those in high risk groups,particularly heterosexual women; and infants born to infected mothers.Infants born to infected mothers,not infected fathers,are at greatest risk of HIV infection.Restaurant workers are not at greater risk of HIV infection solely because of their working in the restaurant industry.Using public restrooms,swimming in public swimming pools,touching or hugging someone who is HIV-positive,and eating with community utensils or in restaurants are safe practices.Approximately 10% to 11% of all HIV cases involve people over age 50,but this does not comprise the highest-risk group.
