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.
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+.
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.
Diffusion of AIDS is an example of contagious diffusion, where the disease spreads through direct or indirect contact between individuals.
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.
