The most Likely cause is believed to be that infected blood from one entered the other through a Cut or disease that broke the skin. Such a Mode of transmission has rarely if Ever been documented before. Although the cases can be expected to raise questions about the current policy of admitting infected children to schools Anc Mlay care centers experts familiar with the two cases say they strongly believe there is no reason to change Public policy because of the rarity of such transmission. In each Case the child and adolescent is believed to have acquired his the human immunodeficiency virus that causes aids from another child or teenager living in the same household. Quot the most Likely possibility is that the virus was transmitted through exposure to blood but since it was not observed it could not be documented and thus the Mode of transmission could not be proved Quot a health care worker familiar with both cases said in an interview. One Case involves a pair of boys aged 2 and 5, in new Jersey. The other involves two teen age Brothers each with Haemophilia. The locales have not been identified to protect the boys privacy.
