HIV positive from a tattoo?
I just read some articles recently about Mia Farrows's adopted daughter. She recently died at the age of 35, and news sources are saying that she was hiv positive and that she contracted the virus from a tattoo. I thought that this rarely means of transmission hiv, I've never really heard or read of a case like this before. Of course getting a tattoo means that your sharing needles with other people, but these sort of transmissions still seem highly unlikely. Any thoughts on this?

She didn't contract HIV from a tattoo. That information was release by STAR mag. The autopsy reports death of unknown causes.
She only had hiv/aids for 10 years. Given her economic status, even without it, you would think that she would have lived longer than 10 years total. Well that's the article.

Which would not change my stance if the link did work as I said the CDC records all positive results and there transmissions and they have stated no one has ever been infected with HIV by tattooing.

It's not only my view. The CDC keeps records for HIV transmissions and I gave you the quote from them.
I know, that's my view as well, but they are stating otherwise. Did you read the article? I never seen this happen before, and I read the news pretty regularly. Thing is, there are needles involved, but these are a different kind of needle than a syringe. The news sources are pretty heavyweight, so it's hard to dismiss what there saying, they have to fact check everything, ect.
