Is complete isolation required for AIDS?

Complete isolation is not required for AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). People with AIDS typically live in the community and can participate in work, school, and other activities. There are no restrictions on travel for people with AIDS. However, because people with AIDS have a weakened immune system, they are more susceptible to infections. Therefore, they should avoid contact with people who are sick, and they should practice good hygiene, such as washing their hands frequently.
