The St. Louis County Health Department said last week that a positive HIV test raised concern that students at Normandy might have been exposed. The department is not saying whether the infected person was a student or connected with the school, only that the person indicated as many as 50 students may have been exposed.
The Health Department also will not say how any exposure might have occurred. Health Department spokesman Craig LeFebvre has said the possibilities include sexual activity, intravenous drug use, piercings and tattoos.
Hochstedler said the district doesn't know the person's identity, or even whether he or she is a student.
"We do know there was some potential exposure between that person and students," he said. "We don't know the individual or the route of transmission."
