Oh, fair enough: I was reading back to the 'how many people were killed by Christian fundamentalists' question... Sorry!

On your question, am I missing something obvious or would widows/widowers be a real and all-too-likely possibility?

What exact scenario with widows/widowers do you have in mind?

As in somebody gets AIDS from their first partner (who gets it from whatever, depending on how far back we count as 'parties involved': perhaps a cheating grandparent or if that still counts then transfusion etc.)

Yes, you're right, that would be another possibility.
