Some type of sign needs to be put up. It obviously doesn't blatantly have to say "Oh, hey everyone! This patient has AIDS!!". Maybe it can be a little symbol or something that healthcare professionals recognizes as a symbol for AIDS. I have worked in the hospital and I have seen plently of nurses who have gone against hospital policy and did not wear gloves while they were taking a patient's blood sugar. This causes a huge concern because if the nurse has a cut on their hand or finger and they come into contact with the patient's blood they are going to contract AIDS.
