Uh, yes, I did mean this.  My husband coaches a wrestling team - 
people are scraping their knees, falling on their faces and ending 
up with bloody noses all the time.  Someone with AIDS has no place 
in such a situation, and if it turned out that one of the 
participants was HIV+ he'd have to go, willingly or unwillingly.  
Sex may be the most high-profile (and emotionally compelling) way of 
spreading the disease, but it's not the only one.  In Lupin's case, 
he's in even a worse situation than an AIDS sufferer, because when 
HE is dangerous, he also loses his rationality and can't stop 
himself from injuring others.  His ailment is more like temporary 
insanity than AIDS.
