Can you have aids negative or positive?
Not exactly. "HIV positive" means that someone's test for HIV antibodies came back positive, i.e. that the antibodies are present and that the person has at least been exposed to, and is almost certainly infected with, the virus. AIDS, however, is a syndrome, or condition. There isn't a specific test for it, so the terms "positive" and "negative" have no real meaning. AIDS means that not only is the person infected, but the infection has progressed to the point that they are showing symptoms. You can be "HIV positive" (the test showed antibodies) or "HIV negative" (the test did not show antibodies), but not "AIDS positive" or "AIDS negative". Everyone with AIDS is (or should be, since HIV is the virus that causes AIDS) "HIV positive", but it's possible to be "HIV positive" for a considerable length of time before eventually developing AIDS.
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.
