Yes. Everyone who is infected with HIV is a carrier and infectious. Most people who become infected with HIV will not initially know or notice that they have been infected, but some will suffer symptoms of a short seroconversion illness when they develop HIV antibodies (generally two to six weeks after HIV exposure). Seroconversion illness can be similar to (and can be easily mistaken for) flu, glandular fever, tonsillitis or a serious herpes attack, but is rarely severe enough to require hospitalisation or even result in an immediate HIV diagnosis. The speed at which an untreated person will go on to develop AIDS varies greatly, but most people will remain asymptomatic for several years (it is estimated that around half the people with HIV develop AIDS within 10 years of becoming infected).

Are there carriers of HIV Who are not infectious?
No there are not.
Can HIV negative off spring be carriers?
A HIV negative person can not be a carrier of HIV.
Do HIV carriers ever test HIV positive?
To be exposed to does not always mean that you will be infected. If contracting the disease you will still not test positive until some time afterwards.
How many hiv carriers in the US does the CDC estimate that there are?
1.1million
Can the offspring of HIV infected persons be carriers?
They can only if they are infected with the virus.
What jobs did most immigrants from England have when they came to the US?
All woman were hookers and HIV carriers.
What disease have healthy carriers?
Several diseases can, a few are: typhoid, HIV/AIDS, polio, etc.
Can you get AIDS from deep kissing?
Yes, saliva can transmit HIV/AIDS, but it is quite an uncommon occurrance. Blood and reproductive fluids are much better carriers and transmitters of HIV/AIDS.
Have any US presidents died of HIV?
No, they have not. HIV was not diagnosed until the early 1980s, and little was known about it at that time. There is no evidence that any former presidents who died in the period from the mid-1980s to the present were carriers of this virus, nor did any of them die from it.
Should Aids carriers be quarantined?
In my opinion, yes they should be. Think about it this way if HIV/AIDS carriers would be responsible then the disease would die out. HIV/AIDS carriers are not responsible that is how most of them became infected and spread the virus. If the it was treated like smallpox and all of the nations banded together and made test mandatory. then tested all citizens and quarantined them together on say a island shipping in medication, food and supplies. Treat them humanly but stop them from spreading the virus. Test everyone who comes in contact with the HIV/AIDS carriers monthly and test everyone else on a yearly bases until the virus is no longer in any population. This may sound harsh but we have no way of controlling the spread of the virus and those who are infected do not always control themselves. Some even purposely spread it to others.
What are the initial symptoms of HIV?
Some of the first symptoms of HIV are fever and body aches. Many HIV carriers also experience rashes, headaches, and swollen glands. Many other things cause the same symptoms which is why most carriers don't know they have the disease. This is the asymptomatic stage-the period of time when a person infected has no symptoms.
What are five body fluids that are unlikely to transmit the HIV virus?
I can think of the following: tears, sweat, snot, saliva, urine; however, I don't believe I would use those answers on a test unless I had no other choice. The major bodily fluids of blood and genital secretions are known carriers of HIV and are infectious to a recipient.
