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.

When someone has a positive hiv test it is safe to say they have aids?
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.

I dont get it they say if you make out with someone you'll get HIV but it is only for people who are infected by it right?
"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.
Are people with HIV discriminated?
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..

If I said to you I am HIV positive then ten months later I say to you I been diagnosis with aid.s What has happened to cause such a quick change?
This disease starts with HIV and then progresses to AIDS. Your question doesn't say how long you were HIV positive. There is no switch that makes you AIDS positive -- it's a gradual process. AIDS isn't one disease -- it's a syndrome where your entire immune system starts to fail. It manifests by loss of defenses and eventually the acquisition of unusual disorders that, had your immune system been intact, you'd have fought off.While there is no "now he isn't; now he is" switch, there comes a point when one's immunse system is so severely compromised, and the syndrome has asserted itself so far, that one must say they have AIDS.
