I don't recall, but I think it was certainly well understood early on that many people were contracting it from transfusions but that may not have fit the narrative. And even with Magic, IIRC many people were speculating that he was gay/bi.

Imagine me, operating on AIDs patients. True.

I don't know another surgeon who got infected in the operating room, but we were all perhaps overly cognizant of the possibility. Then again, you had to remember who the patient was and not cut yourself instead. Double gloves were not the answer.
