Scarier point: USPS probably knows without that. If these letters are sent out in batches and the envelopes/timing/vender is unique, then all it takes is knowing that 1 letter is abut HIV and then you know all of them are without ever seeing the content.

At USPS scale, wouldn't the density of the letters versus public statistics on disease prevalence be a strong indication?
