We have had some calls from sludge activists who are reporting claims of 
HIV-infected sewage sludge. We at CCHW have no information on to support 
such claims and we are wondering if anyone out there has heard anything 
to this effect.  It doesn't seem likely that the virus could live outside 
the body long enough to contaminate the sludge and present a health risk 
to others, but we don't have any information.  Can anyone help?
