Autoimmune Diseases

Not unless youre masturbating together with someone who has HIV.

no, chemicals in perming solutions will only change the structure of the hair, although if over processed (left on to long), it will cause the hair to break. Having said that you can suffer hair loss if the roller is wound too tight.

Yes. One can be HIV+ for many years before having any AIDS symptoms.

Yes, certain autoimmune conditions can be detected and diagnosed by a skin punch biopsy, such as lupus. It has a very characteristic appearance and is best dianoised by a board certified dermatopathologist.

I remember someone saying that you need to drink approx. 1 gallon of that person's saliva to get you infected... but if your receiving head from someone with aid/hiv etc... you never know if the lady bit her tongue on purpose just to infect you. She can bite her tongue to make herself bleed and get you without you even knowing.. so like.. that's not cool.

i hope you got something from my response.

AIDS is a lead of HIV. AIDS occurs when HIV has defeated your immune system. And now, the disease will be worse. AIDS is like HIV, except without an immune system.

Lupus is not hereditary. In order to develop lupus, a person has to inherit just the right combination of quite a few different genes and then be exposed to a trigger. Children of parents with lupus have only a slightly higher chance of developing the disease.

There are several, the most well-known one probably AIDS.

Crohn's Disease occurs anywhere along the digestive tract, occurs in patches, and pain generally occurs in the lower right abdomen. Ulcerative Colitis occurs typically only occurs in one affected area, inflammation occurs throughout the affected area, and pain is in the lower left abdomen.

There are medications that have been very successful in preventing the development of HIV/AIDS in infants born to infected mothers. I believe they are most effective if given immediately after birth so the mother's doctor must be aware of her status prior to delivery.

Yes. Swollen lymph nodes are a very common symptom of allergies.

HIV is an acronym for Human Immuno-deficiency Virus. As the name implies, the virus causes AIDS only in humans. However, very similar strains of Viruses that look like the virus that cause AIDS in humans have been found in animals such as chimpanzees and lions. In fact, it is commonly believed that HIV was first passed from chimps to humans who probably when chopping them up for food sustained cuts and in the process got infected. However, in the chimps, the virus does not seem to cause any disease because they have genes that inhibit the virus, which humans don't have. So when they passed to humans, the human immune system did not have any weapon to fight the virus. This is one danger of cross-infection across different species. A pathogen may be harmless in one specie but deadly in another. This is why organisations such as WHO take outbreak of animal diseases such as SARS very seriously, because nobody really knows how those diseases could turn out in humans when infected.

Lupus was first recorded in the 13th century. Chances are, though, it was seen before that. However, since the symptoms of lupus are rather non-specific, it would have been easy to misdiagnose back in those less-medically-advanced times.

Nephritis is a condition of the kidneys that is acquired due to having lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which your immune system goes awry and attacks your own tissues. Your immune system can attack your skin and other organs including your kidneys. When this happens you get lupus nephritis. Approximately 50% - 80% of people with lupus will have their kidneys affected during the disease. There are five classes of lupus nephritis from Class I to Class V with Class IV being the most severe form. The less severe forms of nephritis are often treated with anti-inflammatories such as prednisone and the more severe forms are treated with Cytoxan and Cellcept.

Dani Cimorelli does not have any type of a disease.

The vast majority of people with lupus live a relatively normal life span. People with lupus die of "lupus related complications", the top 3 being organ failure, heart attacks and strokes, and uncontrolled infection. Lupus is not listed as the cause of death, but the complication is.

Yes, Crohn's disease does cause diarrhea. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestines that leads to diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, vomiting, and malnutrition. In more severe cases, it can cause intestinal blockages, fistulas, and abscesses. Inflammation of other areas of the body can happen with Crohn's disease, such as joints, skin, or eyes. Treatment is possible through diet, surgery, and medications. Please always remember to consult a medical professional for personal medical advice.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a condition that develops as a result of HIV infection. AIDS is diagnosed based on how well a person's immune system is functioning after HIV infection.

Type your answer here... Yes Leleti Khumalo is HIV Positive !!

The pizza would have to specifically be "gluten free" otherwise all pizza has gluten. Anything containing wheat, rye, or barley ingredients in any amount should not be consumed by someone with celiac. Even a trace amount can cause damage to the small intestines.

Several different things.

If there is blood, there's potential for urinary track infection or it could be leading to kidney failure.

Protein is the same thing with as the blood, but also your liver could be having problems.

Yes smoking effects your white cells and especially your breathing lungs.

Since lupus is not an infectious disease there is no agency to which a diagnosis is reported. The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that 16,000 patients are diagnosed in America each year.
