Indeed, AIDS is nowadays a global concern and it reaches the entire public. No one can actually feel secure from the illness. However, we may also notice that the article is pretty basic, giving out primary information, which may induce us to believe that it is rather directed towards teenagers or people with lesser knowledge on AIDS.

The first observation that needs to be made here is that the language used is very technical: many terms from chemistry, biology and anatomy. This is quite clear from the very beginning, when the author mentions among the agents suspect of causing Kaposi's sarcoma things like "cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B virus or human herpes virus 6."

The use of verbs in the imperative is generally common when describing a set of rules, as these verbs tend to give out a strong message and impose one's will.

The vocabulary used is not too complicated, but extremely precise and limited to a certain area of activity. The entire text is addressing the persons that are operating the human blood or blood products in the laboratory.
