Does having AIDS affect your life?

Answer 1

AIDS is the effect of a type of virus that attacks the immune system, so it can reduce your resistance to diseases and that can affect your penis as far as sores, or odd discharges. Also medications to treat AIDS can cause an annoying discharge.

If you have a sore on your penis, this does not mean you have AIDS, but you should see your physician and have a blood test done.

Remember to always use a condom when having sex. It protects you from your partner's diseases and it protects your partner from your diseases.

ClarificationHIV is the virus, and AIDS is the intensity level of the HIV virus load when your body can no longer sustain itself without serious medical intervention.

Answer 2

In simple terms: HIV/AIDS compromises your immune system. It makes you susceptible to more and more viruses and bacteria over time. At first your body tries to fight off the now more plentiful invaders which cause fatigue and cold/flu like symptoms. Eventually without treatment your body succumbs to all of the diseases entering the body and cannot withstand the constant attacks. This is due to the lowered white blood cell count which HIV/AIDS mainly attacks. So, technically, yes it could increase the possiblity of getting something specific to the genital region, but the problem lies with the immune system and its inablility to fend off new invaders.

Answer 3

AIDS or HIV infection may happens when your body fluid (including saliva, blood, sperm, vaginal fluidse etc) come in contact with already infected patient(s) fluids. It will not happen by touching any of the body parts including penis. Safe sex is the key when you have intercourse with a stranger.

Answer 4

HIV, by itself, cannot harm a human being's genitals. It's possible, however, once someone becomes infected with HIV and their immune system weakens, that other opportunistic illnesses could impact a man's penis. Kaposi's sarcoma, often called KS, is an opportunistic condition that could cause dark purple lesions to appear on the skin, including the genitalia. Other skin conditions like rashes could also affect the genital area. Another concern regarding the genital area would be the presence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs.) They are much more prevalent than HIV and can cause any number of sores, infections and other health concerns affecting the human genital area. If you are concerned you may have been exposed to either HIV or STDs, seek out a knowledgeable provider who can test you for either condition and advise treatment if you have become infected.

Answer 5

Yes, if this person has a cut in the mouth or on there lips, if u have a wound on your penis you have a chance of getting it to.

Answer 6

No skin to skin contact will not transmit AIDS, neither will getting blood or semen on skin...it has to enter your body through your mouth, nose, eyes, penis (the hole) or the anus.

Answer 7

There are no reliable outward signs of HIV infection, specifically not relating to the genital area.

Answer 8

Yes, because it is a life-long disease.
