According to the Center for Disease Control, HIV is spread:
+ By sexual contact with an infected person
+ By sharing needles and/or syringes with someone who is infected
+ Through transfusions of infected blood or blood clotting factors
+ to babies born to HIV-infected women before or during birth or through breast-feeding after birth
Health care workers have been infected with HIV after:
+ Being stuck with needles containing HIV-infected blood
+ Infected blood gets into a worker’s open cut or a mucous membrane

In addition, religious sisters are required to be only celibate after they take their vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Some sisters may have been sexually active before they took their vows.
With love in Christ.

you should not have started your question by why, how would have been more appropriate...aids dont choose his victims... there are many ways of getting human immunodeficiency virus. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to decelerate the virus' progression, there is currently no known cure. HIV, et al., are transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

It's possible to get HIV/AIDS through other means - dirty needles, if the nuns live in a poor area where standard health care hygiene is not observed at hospitals. Blood transfusions. Or they could be born with it.
Or, they could be having sex, too. They're only human.

They tend the sick, hold other peoples hands etc. All it takes is a minute amount of blood or other body fluid to pass the pathogen.

Not exactly sure what you are referring to, but I will point out that HIV and AIDS is not only contracted through sexual intercourse.

HIV in it's infancy was passed on through sex and mingling of bodily fluids....mainly blood.
Maybe that's what you're asking.
