Former UAT HIV Infested Player Arrested

Former University of Alabama – Tuscaloosa football player, Trevis Smith, was arrested 3 weeks ago for aggravated sexual assault. It was later learned that the 7 year CFL veteran has HIV. Team management, who knew of Trevis Smith’s condition for over a year, failed to inform any of Smith’s teammates which have some players upset. According to Canadian law, there is no requirement for employees to reveal their medical history. But many argue that football is not a typical occupation, since bleeding is a common occurrence on the field. Despite the apparent risks, a 1992 U.S. study of the National Football League determined there’s a one-in-85 million chance of HIV contraction through player to player on-field contact. Your chances go up considerably, however, when you share a whore amongst teammates.
