What causes wiglaf to come to the aid of Beowulf?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Whereas the others in the company are held by the command of their lord (do not interfere; leave this to me), Wiglaf is full of shame that he has been a retainer for many years, has benefited from feasts and gift-giving, but here at this moment he sees that his lord is dying. By disobeying the given order he proves that he is more faithful to his lord than those who simply obey him.

'Fornication' in the bible. Is intercourse or Any physical sexual contact or Naked contact involving sex organs or even just Kissing-Can I hear from critically-thinking bible-believing Christians pls?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

fornication is intercourse outside the covenant of marriage. It is sin. Read if you would like the book of 1 corinthians chapter 6 all of it and chapter 7 too. God is very seriuos about this because it falls in the heading of adultery and that's in deuteronomy chapter 5:18 in the ten commandments, Which many people say it doesn't apply but in the new testament in Matthew 5:28 says that if any one looks! upon a woman to lust after her he has committed adultery with her in his heart. It would be safe to say that any touching or kissing would fall into this category. unless this person is your wife or husband, man and woman. Because remember kissing is going to arouse you and your mind is going to go where it shoudn't. basically you would have sinful thoughts against God with that person your touching or kissing. Remember the Apostle Paul says in the book of 1 corinthians 7:1-2. It is good for a man not to touch a woman, verse 2 nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband. And in verse 9 says it says if you cannot contain yourself than it is better to marry than to burn.

How does HIV attach to t cells?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Whenever any foreign substance or agent enters our body, the immune system is activated. Both B- and T-cell members respond to the threat, which eventually results in the elimination of the substance or agent from our bodies. If the agent which gains entry is the kind which remains outside of our cells all of the time (extracellular pathogen), or much of the time (virus often released) the "best" response is the production by B-cells of antibodies which circulate all around the body in the bloodstream, and eventually bind to the agent. There are mechanisms available which are very good at destroying anything which has an antibody bound to it. On the other hand, if the agent is one which goes inside one of our cells and remains there most of the time (intracellular pathogens like viruses or certain bacteria which require the inside of one of our cells in order to live), the "best" response is the activation of cytotoxic T-cells (circulate in the bloodstream and lymph), which eliminate the agent through killing of the cell which contains the agent (agent is otherwise "hidden"). Both of these kinds of responses (B-cell or cytotoxic T-cell) of course require specific helper T-cell biochemical information as described above. Usually, both B-cell and cytotoxic T-cell responses occur against intracellular agents which provides a two-pronged attack. Normally, these actions are wonderfully protective of us. The effect of HIV on the immune system is the result of a gradual (usually) elimination of the Th1 and Th2 helper T-cell sub-populations.

What gender is most affected by HIV and AIDS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Define "gender". I will assume sexuality preference, as gender is a common term for this. But if you mean men/women, there is no statistics of women getting aids from homosexual contact. However 23,000 men did. Men get it more often then women from injection drug use because they use drugs more. And women get AIDS more from heterosexual contact then men.

In gay groups, they get AIDS much more often then their heterosexual counterparts. No, its not a conservative myth. It is correct, as usual. "Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV. In 2009, MSM accounted for 61% of all new HIV infections, and MSM with a history of injection drug use (MSM-IDU) accounted for an additional 3% of new infections. That same year, young MSM accounted for 69% of new HIV infections among persons aged 13-29 and 44% of infections among all MSM. At the end of 2009, an estimated 441,669 (56%) persons living with an HIV diagnosis in the US were MSM or MSM-IDU."1

2% of the population accounts for 69% of the aids infections... That is obvious who gets more frisky.

And look at my sources: all non bias.

Can HIV be detected within a month of being infected?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it is possible. However, in many cases, the antibodies to the HIV virus do not appear until well past a month.

The window period for the HIV can be anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months. Any test done during this window period should be repeated so as to assure accuracy.

If you have AIDS and sleep with someone will they get the HIV virus or full blown aids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is correct; there is a possibility you will not get HIV if you sleep with someone infected with the virus. There is a greater possibility of a woman contracting the virus if engaged in unprotected sex as the sperm is ejaculated into the vagina; and sperm has HIV in it. You may want to be tested in 3 & 6 months for HIV and don't engage in unprotected sex or refrain until you know for sure.

Is HIV the deadliest disease on earth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If left untreated, HIV is a terminal illness.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV attacks the part of the body that fights disease, the cells involved with immune function. Untreated infection will result in a patient developing AIDS. Patients with AIDS are at considerable risk for developing life-threatening, opportunistic infections.

There are many treatments available to those with access to healthcare. Check your local health department for more information.
