I don't think it is public info. Special laws were passed to protect AIDs patients. Plus even normal patient-doctor confidentiality would make it difficult to learn anything about specific people.
2 :
right long with the registry for people with STD's, pregnancies, cancer and any other medical affliction. You DO know that personal medical information is protected by the law right?
3 :
you can't. however there is a program.. in various cities inwhich a person with hiv/aids.. has a casemanager contact the infected persons sexual partners to inform them they may need to see a physcian. the rule is.. treat everyone like they have aids. use protection. distance yourself from blood spills and other bodily fluids. use proper hygiene.
