My answer was inacurate, the two answers following however quoted an excellent article. To save others the effort I will put the link in here. This article does an excellent job explaining the origions of HIV and the few places I have checked to verify the information contained in the article have checked out.

As others have said, HIV/AIDS is contracted through an exchange of bodily fluids...so, a person with HIV/AIDS would have to have their blood, saliva, breast milk, vaginal fluids, semen, etc. enter the bloodstream of another person or enter their system through an orifice, through a wound that leads to the blood stream, through a tear duct, etc. \n\nDepth isn't so much an issue as is the question of whether the infected person is bleeding or leaking a bodily fluid, and where that fluid comes into contact with another. \n\nIf you are worried about a specific incident, I suggest visiting the website for the "Center for Disease Control," or "The National AIDS Fund," or speaking with your health care provider or a member of your local HIV/AIDS testing agency.

The only way to identify someone carrying HIV is through a medical test.  You can't look at someone and say "That person has AIDS" - even someone who looks sickly may have something else, like cancer.  \n\nThe ELISA test is usually performed first.  It looks for HIV antibodies.  However, it can throw false positives, so positive ELISA tests are followed with the more expensive but more accurate Western Blot test.  \n\nThere are also preliminary tests that use saliva and other fluids for a quick result, but a firm diagnosis of HIV infection is only given upon the positive result from a Western Blot test.

If you have HIV in it's early stages, it's near impossible to detect without going t the doctor to get a blood teat. BUT if you have AIDS, it may be easier to detect. AIDS is the last stage of the HIV and is marked by repeated viruses and infections due to the weakening of our immune systems. But at the same time, ither diseases and viruses may result in susceptibility to infection of viruses. Blood tests are always the best choice in detection methods. Don't hesitate, it's your life and you make the calls.

They get a blood sample. Their computers/scientists can detect traces of HIV in your blood. It's just a virus. They can actually see it taking over.

As chihuahua rightly said, there are exceptions. Other organisms (not mentioned in that wikipedia link) include Mycobacteria Leprae (causes leprosy) as well as Treponema Pallidum (causes syphilis).\n\nAlso, there are modifications done to the original Koch's postulates, now known as the 'Molecular Koch's Postulates'. These involve isolating & modifying specific virulence gene for studies with models of infection.\n\nWhy is it important for the HIV virus to satisfy Koch's postulates, anyway? The postulates are used to establish that a specific micro-organism is the cause of a particular disease. That's all. The guy is obviously not 100% correct with all micro-organisms.
