There is no set type or person who gets HIV.
Everyone and anyone are open to HIV transmission, under the right conditions.
Currently, more straight (hetrosexual) people in the world have HIV then gay (homosexual) people. (Fact as of March 2010)
Can you be exposed to HIV but still be negative?
Yes they can. HIV tests detect Your immune systems HIV anti-bodies and not the HIV itself. In the months after infection (around 6) Your body has not produced enough anti-bodies to be detected on a test. However the person is HIGHLY infectious during this window period. When the Immune system begins fighting back and producing high levels of anti-bodies,this will cause a postitve result on the test.
Can you marry a woman with HIV?
You have that choice. However, you need to understand the possible consequences and precautions you would need to take should you marry her.
What is a modified version of the Atkins diet for Crohn's disease?
Every Crohns disease patient has a diet that works for them. When it comes to diet there are no hard and fast rules because what works for you may not work for someone else. Keeping a journal of what bothers you and what is OK helps. Low residue diets work well during a flare up. Reducing gas producing foods helps some people as does some fiber restriction. Again, nothing works for everyone the same way. Speaking with a dietician is often one of the first things a doctor will have you do after a diagnosis of Crohns disease.
Most cases of systemic lupus are mild to moderate. If the patient receives regular medical monitoring and follows their treatment plan, they can expect to live a normal life span. However, lupus can be fatal. 40% of lupus patients will have lupus nephritis or kidney disease. Untreated, it is usually fatal. If lupus attacks the liver one is more likely to die. Uncontrolled infection can be fatal. Lupus patients are twice as likely to suffer a cardiovascular event.
Accurate statistics on lupus deaths are not available. If a lupus patient gets pneumonia and can't fight it and they die, the cause of death is listed as pneumonia. If they die of kidney failure from lupus nephritis, the cause of death is listed as kidney failure. And if they die of a heart attack or stroke, that is listed as the cause of death rather than atherosclerosis brought on by years or decades of inflammation.
yeah, u could. but, that is not likely
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis that a medical provider gives to people with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and is not contagious.
HIV is the virus that causes someone to develop AIDS. HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. The origins of HIV have been traced to Africa. Haiti is not considered the starting-point for the virus.
Yes. Usually if a someone is diagnosed with celiac, they will have other family members with the disease. Anoother associated allergy to celiac is lactose-intolerance. (allergy to milk).
Yes, celiac disease is a hereditary disease. A doctor can determine if you suffer from it.
What happens if you have crohn's disease and you take ibuprofen?
Your headache goes away. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen sodium can possibly cause inflammation and worsen bleeding in the small intestine. If a Crohns patient is already experiencing these symptoms is advisable to seek other forms of pain relief. Not all patients will experience this however. People with Crohns disease should always consult with their gastroenterologist before taking NSAIDs.
What is the disease called Lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease. The patient's immune system cannot differentiate between pathogens and healthy parts of the self. There are four types of lupus: discoid or cutaneous, systemic lupus erythematosus, neonatal lupus, and drug induced lupus. The cause of lupus is not fully understood. There is no cure. Lupus affects 5 million people worldwide.
Can you get hiv from a man with no prostate?
HIV/AIDs is spread through contact of mucus membranes like the mouth and genitals. The prostate is an internal organ.
two different monkeys bred and two diseases mixed into HIV of SIC for the monkeys for Simian immunodeficiency virus and it spread to chimpanzees. Two theories that people think chimpanzees spread it to us are 1 the butchers would cut up the chimps and they would be infected with the blood or 2 the chimps would bite people
What could a hard lump found in front of right ear in line with lobe be?
It could be your ear bone, or even an inflamed lymph node.
HIV is a virus, specifically the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, that is the precursor to AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. While AIDS has a host of symptoms that range from chronic pain to the possibility of oppurtunistic infections, HIV is relatively calm in its presentation. It presents much like the flu and then stays latent until it is activated (no one is really sure what triggers it) and then AIDS appears and ravages the body.
Can one contract HIV by having intercourse with a person who is not HIV positive?
It is possible to have a false negative HIV test, particuarly early in infection with HIV. If a partner has a true negative HIV test, it's not possible to get HIV from them.
Can someone with lupus have children?
Yes, but there are considerations. It is wise to try to get pregnant when the lupus is in a period of remission rather than flaring. Certain medications might need to be stopped prior to conception. Ask your rheumatologist and ob/gyn. If the patient has any of the lupus clotting factors, the risk of miscarriage is greatly increased. Lupus pregnancies should be treated as high risk, but it is entirely possible to have children if one has lupus.
How harmful is smoking when HIV positive?
Being infected with HIV increases a persons risk of developing a variety of health problems.
Health concerns associated with smoking are amplified when a patient is HIV+. Infected persons are more likely to suffer infections and develop cancers if they continue smoking through HIV infection.
What is the Survivability of HIV virus?
HIV isn't the real problem, it develops into AIDS which infects your helper T cells, so any virus that infects you has deadly potential. Summary of what is written below: Most cases put together have resulted more 80% HIV patients resulting a death as the less than 20% survive such a situation.HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients could have the same one-year survival rates for themselves and their donor organs as those without HIV, if certain risk factors for transplant failure are recognized and tightly managed according to a new study. Earlier, HIV patients were not considered transplant candidates as researchers thought that the survival rates after transplantation were greatly compromised by the disease, which cripples the body''s immune system. Also, transplant patients take drugs that suppress their immune systems in order to prevent organ rejection, a regimen thought to further threaten their already fragile immune systems.
AIDS in the medical condition that results from infection with the HIV virus. A person can potentially live years with HIV without having AIDS.
However, there are generally three things healthcare providers will look for when diagnosing AIDS:
1) Viral load count--that is, how much of the HIV virus does the individual have in their body. This can be detected via a blood test.
2) CD4 cell count--this is a measurement of the number of CD4 cells the person has. As the disease progresses, a person's CD4 count will drop to low levels, indicating that the immune system is failing. Generally, a CD4 count of below 200/millimeter of blood is an indicative of AIDS
3) The development of opportunistic infections--Individuals whose immune system is failing will often develop infections, known as opportunistic infections. The most common opportunistic infections in AIDS patients are: Kaposi's sarcoma, Pneumocystis carinii penumonia and thrush.
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). HIV is transmitted by contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.
What not to eat when you have lupus?
Lupus patients should eat a diet high in plant foods and very low in animal fat. Lupus patients have a 50% greater chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Outside of a healthy, balanced diet, there are no special food considerations in lupus.
How much does a HIV test cost?
This is a link to tell you how much it costs.

I will not lie these meds to help against HIV and AIDS are extremely expensive.
How does HIV aids impact teenagers?
different reasons, but one is many teens feel that they should start dating at a pretty young age and get either talked into doing something they dont want to, or wanted to and just did it, and later found out they got a disease from it.. other times the parents of a child would give it to the child, and so when it was born, it had Hiv or aids. hope my answer was helpful! :)
It's not that it's absolutely impossible for HIV-tainted blood or other bodily fluids to find their way, accidentally or on purpose, into foods and beverages; it's that according to the best scientific evidence available, the AIDS virus simply can't be transmitted that way.
Here's what the CDC says:HIV does not live long outside the body. Even if small amounts of HIV-infected blood or semen was consumed, exposure to the air, heat from cooking, and stomach acid would destroy the virus. Therefore, there is no risk of contracting HIV from eating food.
According to a Centers for Disease Control fact sheet last updated in 2010, no incidents of food products being contaminated with HIV-infected blood or semen, and no incidents of HIV infection transmitted via food products, have ever been reported to the agency.
Where can one find a list of autoimmune disorders?
Autoimmune diseases are ranked number one cause of heart disease, cancer and all diseases. One can find the list of autoimmune diseases in online website "Cidpusa" and "Aarda".
