Aids And Boxing

NPR's Vicky Que reports on the case of heavyweight fighter Tommy Morrison, who was suspended from boxing this past week after it was revealed that he's infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Vicky reports medical experts say the risk of contracting HIV while boxing is extremely low, and there's no medical reason why Morrison shouldn't be allowed to box if he wants to.
