AIDS is a collection of symptoms and signs, and as such is contagious. The virus that causes it - HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus - is contagious, and is spread sexually, by exposure to certain bodily fluids, by intravenous needle sharing, from mother to child during pregnancy or birth.
Its only contagious during sexual intercourse
Its contagious during sexual intercourse, but its also contagious if you share a needle with
someone who is also infected with the disease.
AIDS is not contagious.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes someone to develop AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.)
HIV is transmitted through infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.
The carrier can transmit for a lifetime. Incubation can be weeks or even months.
HIV is a virus. AIDS is a diagnosis. HIV is contagious and causes a person to develop AIDS. AIDS is not contagious and only occurs in people who are HIV+.
yes the can give you aids
This is all a bit of a technicality. AIDS is a result of HIV, much like a fever is the result of the flu. A fever is not contagious, but the flu is. AIDS is not contagious, but HIV is.AIDS is a syndrome, not the actual virus. The actual virus is HIV, which is contagious. HIV is what is passed from person to person through blood, unprotected sex, sharing needles, and a few other routes. Once a person has HIV, they will develop AIDS as an effect of the virus.
Communicable or Contagious.
AIDS is not a contagious disease. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is transmitted though contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.
pretty sure its either malaria or aids
Because it takes years for HIV (when you're contagious, but not particularly sick) to develop into AIDS, where you are sick and eventually die.
AIDS and warts can be passed from one person to another. Cancer, diabetes, and hypertension are not contagious conditions.
Yes it is contagious. It is contagious because it is caused by viruses such as HIV/AIDS. It does not go away on it's own so you need some sort of treatment for it. Here is a pdf file explaining all of it. http://www.cehjournal.org/download/ceh_18_53_073.pdf
Malaria. It is caused by a parasite and is not contagious from human to human.
No. Subsequently you also are not able to get AIDS from a live person because AIDS is not a contagious disease. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk.
The word "nahawa" is in Tagalog or Filipino language (national language in the Philippines). In English language it's equivalent term is "infected", "contaminated", or "tainted". The adverb for the word "nahawa" is "nakakahawa". In English it is "contagious", for example: "AIDS is a contagious disease", in Tagalog or Filipino it would be "Ang AIDS ay isang nakakahawang sakit".
