HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS is a diagnosis, not a disease. HIV uses a part of the body (CD4 cells) that fight disease to replicate. Over the course of infection, HIV causes the body's number of disease fighting cells to drop. After the number reaches a clinical set point, or the patient develops an infection indicative of a severely weakened immune system, their medical provider will give them an AIDS diagnosis.

Can you catch shingles from an adult who is infected with shingles?
A person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who hasn't had chickenpox before. A person who has not had chickenpox can become infected through direct contact with a person who is infected with shingles. After becoming infected, the person will develop chickenpox, but not shingles. The infection can be very serious for people who have a compromised immune system. However, a person with a normal immune system who has already had chickenpox cannot be infected with shingles. If a person has not previously had the chickenpox, it is best to avoid contact with any person who is infected with shingles until the infection has cleared the person completely.

What does very early hiv infection prior to seroconversion cannot be excluded mean?
Seroconversion refers to the development of antibodies after infection. There is a period of time between when a person is infected with HIV until they will test positive. This is often referred to as the "window period." Depending on the test, it could take up to 6 months for a person to test positive after being infected with HIV. This is because it takes a while for a person's body to develop the anitbodies associated with HIV infection that HIV tests use to detect infection.

How are mumps spread?
Mumps is a contagious disease that is spread from person to person through contact with respiratory secretions such as saliva from an infected person. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, the droplets aerosolize and can enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person. Mumps can also be spread by sharing food and drinks. The virus can also survive on surfaces and then be spread after contact in a similar manner. A person infected with mumps is contagious from approximately 6 days before the onset of symptoms until about 9 days after symptoms start. The incubation period (time until symptoms begin) can be from 14-25 days but is more typically 16-18 days

How is malaria transmitted to someone else?
malaria is transmitted to someone else if another mosquito sucks the blood of somebody that is infected. after the mosquito goes to bite another person and sends the infectious disease to that personA person gets malaria from the bite of an infected female mosquito. The female Anopheles mosquitoes feed on the human blood to obtain protein they need to develop their eggs. The mosquito bite injects young forms of the malaria parasite into the person's blood. The parasites travel through the person's bloodstream to the liver, where they grow to their next stage of development. In 6 to 9 days, the parasites leave the liver and enter the bloodstream again. They invade the red blood cells, finish growing, and begin to multiply quickly. The number of parasites increases until the red blood cells burst, releasing thousands of parasites into the person's bloodstream. The parasites attack other red blood cells, and the cycle of infection continues, causing the common signs and symptoms of malaria.When a non-infected mosquito bites an infected person, the mosquito sucks up parasites from the person's blood. The mosquito is then infected with the malaria parasites. The parasites go through several stages of growth in the mosquito. When the mosquito bites someone else, that person will become infected with malaria parasites, and the cycle will begin again.Malaria parasites can also be transmitted by transfusion of blood from an infected person or by the use of needles or syringes contaminated with the blood of an infected person.
