It is believed that the HIV virus can remain dormant for several years in the body in various tissues other than the blood, especially the lymphatic system. Any bodily organs that have an ample blood supply are likely infected. One person, Dr. Robert C. Beck, DSc. Physics, examined a US patent for a blood treatment scheme posited by Drs. Steven Kaali and William Lyman of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in The Bronx, New York who had published a scientific medical study entitled "Biocompatible electric current attenuates HIV infectivity." (See Pub Med for PMID: 15858720 -- a medical study linked in the related links of the related question "Can HIV be cured" below). (Also search "Bob Beck" in most search engines.) Dr. Beck determined that such a biocompatible (low flow of) electric current could be made to pass through the resistance of the skin, into the major arteries of the arm (the ulnar and radial arteries), up the forearm and back out the other fork of the other major artery without invasively removing all a patient's blood into an external machine, or similarly having a device surgically implanted to treat blood. This treatment method is known as micro-current treatment or blood electrification. The effective level of current through the blood was only micro-Amperes -- millionths of an Ampere, as long as the entire infected blood supply circulated quite a few times past the electrode site. Patients using his method he theorized could suffer a relapse of HIV infection if they did not somehow treat other bodily tissues such as the lymphatic system, so Beck posited that such tissues should be subjected to a abrupt time variant magnetic pulse that would induce such micro-currents to flow even in these tissues. He fashioned a magnetic pulsing device using a battery operated photo flash that would release the stored energy of a charged capacitor through an air core coil inductor of size 1 to 2.5 milli-Henrys to produce a sudden magnetic pulse of about 500 to 20,000 Gauss (a magnetic field strength measure). The larger the field strength, the greater the tissue penetration from the device positioned outside a patient's torso. Several additional treatment schemes were set in place by 1998 and the treatment method came to be known as "The Beck Protocol." Beck gave presentations at alternative health conferences and conspiracy forum lectures. The treatments included blood electrification (purification), magnetic pulsing of the lymph and other similar tissues, drinking of colloidal silver water (made from de-ionized, demineralized / distilled water to avoid a condition known as argyria), and the separate drinking of ozonated (mineral?) water. For whatever reasons known only to themselves, the mainstream press did not cover any of Bob Beck's revelations, and claims about the treatment. Beck claimed that the Dr. Steven Kaali and Dr. William Lyman discovery was being suppressed by organized medicine / "the medical monopoly" / "big pharma" / "the drug cartels" because it was too effective and extremely cheap--and should the word get out, these invested interests would lose untold billions of dollars should such a possible cure become well known to members of the public. Beck sponsored his own series of treatment trials in several Southern California Hospitals by furnishing the equipment and batteries to operate it to suffering HIV AIDS patients with the proviso that they furnish Dr. Bob Beck with the before, during, and after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests to show that the treatments were effective. After just a couple of years, Beck claimed to have collected over 2,000 successful treatment cases, and carried a handful of samples from these results with him to his health expo and other lectures. Beck, born in 1925, was the inventor of the low voltage xenon photo flash used in all cameras today. US Pat. #2,498,640 - Filed Aug 7, 1948 Xenon low-voltage electronic strobe flash for cameras that replaced the flash bulb - Sold to Ed Wilcox (Wilcox Photo Sales). Beck used his own treatment on himself since the early 1990s until his untimely death in the summer of 2002 from a bad fall that resulted in a head injury and later cardiac arrest in hospital. Recorded for posterity are a number of Bob Beck's lectures on Google Videos. After a couple of years of lecturing about this treatment method, unbenounced to Bob Beck, some of his audience members who were suffering from cancer also gave the treatment protocol a try, and reported back to Bob Beck that their cancers had spontaneously gone into remission (that they were supposedly cured of cancer). The flow of electric current is known to stop / prevent rigor mortis from setting in, is used in slaughter houses for just such a purpose, and it causes live cells to have an increase in ATP, a component measure of cell energy involved in a normal cell's mitochondrial metabolism / energy production activity.

Sweat is not considered to be infectious under standard precautions.
Body fluids that can transmit HIV include blood, semen, vaginal secretions, breastmilk, cerebrospinal fluid, and synovial fluid. Saliva and urine are not infectious for HIV.
what 3 fluids transmit the hiv virus? saliva, blood, genital fluids
It is in almost all body fluids.
Yes. To get HIV it takes body fluids.
HIV is an infectious virus. It can be passed from person to person.
yes
No. HIV is only transmitted through body fluids from someone infected with HIV.
you get HIV where the sun dont shine. its like a bacterica we get through sex.
There are many body fluids that are not a risk for HIV infection. Tears, sweat, urine and saliva do not carry risks for HIV transmission.
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.
By exchange of body fluids.
HIV is only transmitted by five bodily fluids: blood, semen, preseminal fluid, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. Any of those fluids from an infected host getting into the body of another person can transmit HIV. No other fluids (saliva, urine, etc.) from the body transmit HIV.
