Learn as much as you can about it. Then you can give them the facts. There is medication available now that means a few pills every day will stop the HIV virus multiplying in their body. Depending on where you live this medication might be free. If they take these pills daily then they can live for many years without any problems. HIV is passed on through having sex without a condom, or by sharing drug needles. Your friend can still have sex, but they should tell their partner that they are HIV positive, so the partner can make an informed choice. But if the condom is put on carefully, without any tearing, and there is plenty of lubrication used (either natural or from a tube) then there should be no problem with the condom breaking.
A positive HIV test does not automatically mean that someone has AIDS. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) if left untreated. AIDS is diagnosed when the immune system is severely damaged and specific criteria are met, such as a CD4 cell count below a certain level or the presence of opportunistic infections. Therefore, while all individuals with AIDS are HIV positive, not all individuals who are HIV positive have AIDS.
Yes, there are reports that say that HIV positive mothers who are breastfeeding will reduce the risk of the baby contracting HIV.
No news releases able to be found say so.
say you have hiv and tell she should go check for it.
"Making out" with someone is not considered an "at-risk" activity for HIV infection. HIV is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS. HIV is transmitted by contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk. Saliva does not pose a risk for infection.
Sad to say but, yes, people who are HIV positive are still discriminated against for the simple reason that some people just do not educate themselves as to how this disease is spread, they still think it is caused by touching or breathing when someone with HIV stands close to them., which of course is extremely stupid. It could be passed on to someone through body fluid exchange and unprotected sexual activity, and one of the most common ones by using dirty needles for drug injection..
Actually, it is reactive. That means that the patient is preliminarily positive, and a second test should be done for confirmation.
No. I can't remember much, but I can say that they are not. One of them kills your immune system, the other does something totally different. (Sorry that this isn't much help but yeah- answer is no)
No! Having sex with someone on stage does not create a room for the media 2 say all kinds of things.
