I like how they keep mentioning the fact that transmission is impossible through casual contact. It's a plausible scenario like others have mentioned that the AIDS kid hurts himself. It's also entirely plausible that some other kid does too. So you've got AIDS blood floating around in the same place that another perfectly innocent kid might have an open wound.
I remember when we had to learn first aid in high school there was this huge emphasis on rubber gloves, and never touching a wounded person with your bare hands, because who knows what you could get? (AIDS). So I think the manager's reaction was pretty much spot on. Hell, I wouldn't have even asked for a doctor's note. The chance that it could happen is non-zero, and I also doubt that it's significantly small enough to be ignored. When you consider the financial liability, not to mention the negative publicity when other people find out that AIDS was swimming in their pool, then yeah, screw the business of one family. Drops in a bucket compared to potential loss.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
