aids????????


if no one has aids but we all share our blood with each other can we get aids? like for example a liquid bandage and like 10 people use the same brush and all the blood comes together? thanks
----------

No. AIDS is the result of infection by a virus called HIV. The virus has to pass from the body fluids of someone already infected to someone else.

Mixing blood that doesn't already have HIV won't create the virus. However if someone has HIV in their blood and a small amount of their blood is able to enter your bloodstream, HIV can get into your body that way.

It's important to remember that not everyone who has HIV in their body knows they have it.  (+ info)

Aids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?


ok well i guess i did not make it clear i was walking down my steps from the apartment and i found this red substance kinda dark it was dryed like paint and well i touched it did not see it then i think i got aids do i have it or im i safe it prob bin there longer then 2 mins HELP
----------

omg....ok the only way to get aids that way is if you have a cut on your hand that was gushing out blood and you touched the red stuff with that cut and smothered it all over and in that cut. you cannot get aids just by touching it. if you're having sex with someone and switch bodily fluids, that's one way to get it. as long as it doesnt get into your blood system, you're fine. just wash your hands with soap and warm/hot water and sing the whole ABCs before you rinse!  (+ info)

AiDS???????


how long does it you to die from AIDS
----------

These days, with treatments, many people who are HIV+ can live healthier longer than they could in the past. Medications won't kill the virus, but can increase the amount of time between diagnosis of HIV and diagnosis of AIDS. The amount of time a person lives with HIV depends on many factors, including the health of the person before infection, the person's response to the virus, and the person's response to treatment. A person whose illness has progressed to AIDS is more likely to die more quickly, because at that point, other infections such as colds, flu, and pneumonia can be deadly. However, again, it is impossible to say just how long the person will live.  (+ info)

Does AIDS exist in the UK? Is it common?
----------

Yes , HIV and AIDS both exist in the UK and all over the world for that matter .
Sadly the virus doesnt pick and choose what country it will affect , it affects them all .

In 2008, an estimated 83,000 people were living with HIV in the UK. We cannot tell for certain how many people are living with HIV because this number combines the 61,000 people diagnosed with HIV and an estimated 22,000 who were infected but undiagnosed.

There are estimated to be over 22,400 people living with HIV in the UK who are unaware of their infection.

Here is some more information on HIV and AIDS in the UK .

How did AIDS start and why did it start in Africa?


In my regional geography book talks about Africa and how AIDS has a huge impact in the region. Though it does not say how it started. So i would like to know: how did it start? Was it ibecause humans had close contact with monkeys or was it bio-testing for companies and countries?
----------

Well my Troll like friend, when a man and a monkey love eachother very very much they do the happy dance which involves the man to mount the monkeys anal and probe it with his weiner, after this is done he moans in ecstasy and explodes inside the monkeys anus giving eachother AIDS.  (+ info)

Whether the AIDS which is very fast spreading disease can be cured and diagnosed at the initial level?


AIDS is almost incurable disease. Most peoples dies due to diagnosis of the patient at the secondary stage. For prevention of it, use of genuine and reliable condoms and other safety measures has to be taken. If there is proper diagnosis of the probable patient at the initial stage, then he will be cured at the stage before going into the dangerous or secondary level. Also using of reusable syringe through blood donation or curing the disease of the patient, there are more chances of causing AIDS to the patient. So it is always said that "Prevention is Better than Cure". Most peoples move away from AIDS patients due to fear of infection. But it is the wrong way to escape from ourselves. The proper way is to take care of the patient by using good types of handgloves.

Basically when a person contracted the HIV-AIDS or Retro-Virus, there is NO MORE CHANCE of cure (at the present time).

Common misconception of many people that there is a cure for it when diagnose at early stage. The only available drugs against Retrovirus at this time is only pallative. It means, the medication is only work to retard or slow down the replication and spread of the virus. But there is no way to eliminate it completely.

Another misconception is many people were dying due to HIV-AIDS virus. The real truth was, people infected by retrovirus died not because of the virus perse. They died because secondary to INFECTION of what-so-ever disease.

The primary target of retrovirus is CD4 or helper T-Cell. CD4 cell is one type of WBC. It is one of the major defense of our body on fighting bacteria and foreign bodies.

Therefore if the retrovirus attack the CD4, the body will be bare defenseless from disease producing microorganism.

That is the time people become ill and die from the what-so-ever infection.

You are right! PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. Because there is no CURE yet!

For your info: The Diagnosis and Staging of HIV-AIDS virus is based on the level of CD4 helper T-cell.  (+ info)

What are the chances of getting AIDs from a woman?


I heard, that if a man has sex with a woman and he has AIDs, the chances are, she will have AIDs if it was un-protected. Of course, this sounds reasonable and true, because he is shooting his fluids into her.

Although.

I heard also, that if the woman has AIDs and the man doesnt and they have un-protected sex. The chances of him getting AIDs isnt as high as if it were vise versa. Because its harder for her fluids to get into the man? I heard the chances are actually, pretty low, but I do not know.

I only ask, to see if this is true, as me and a few friends were debating it. Although, I do not have AIDs or know anybody who does, so save the "go get checked out" comments to me.
----------

noooo it's equally as likely to get aids with someone effected without protection no matter if it's a women witha ids or a man...ollllld wives tale..

just get checked out to be safe...okay totally kidding had to get that annoying tick out of me ;) sorry

good question though!  (+ info)

Can Aids be transferred by shedding skin from psoriasis?


I wanted to be sure on whether psoriasis is a possible way of spreading aids. I know aids is spread through blood or open cuts and unprotected sex (among other things). I was wondering if someone has psoriasis if those shed cells could transfer or spread the disease? Thanks for your help.
----------

HIV not AIDS (AIDS is a doctors diagnosis) can be spread by infected blood, semen, breast milk, and vaginal fluid. So, the answer to your question is, No!  (+ info)
