HIV and AIDS

There is no particular way you feel when you have HIV.

Most people will be able to live quite normally for many years without feeling any differently.

While the above can be said - I think it's very important to add that HIV can be symptomatic in variety just as the people it invades

Yes. All doctors in the United States are required to inform a patient who has tested positive for the HIV virus.

If it is semen, vaginal secretions or blood then yes, you can get AIDS. Also, saliva has a small amount of the disease in it as well although catching AIDS from kissing someone is extremely rare and not very likely.

We only see things when light reflects from an object and enters our eyes. The human eye is only sensitive to certain types of light - we cannot see ultra violet light or infra red radiation.

The human eye consists of 7 main parts:

Lens: Focuses the light on the back of the retina by concentrating the light

Retina: Sends messages to the brain to tell you what you are seeing - converts light into vision

Pupil: Controls how much light enters the eye

Cornea: - Protects the eye.

- Controls and focuses incoming light

Iris: (The colored part of the eye) Contracts and expands to regulate the amount of light that enters the eye.

Optic Fiber: Carries electrical impulses (converted rays) from the eye to the brain.

Conjunctiva: Its cell produces mucous with helps lubricate the eye.

All types of eyes work in the same basic way; they all detect light and convert it to electrical signal and transmits them to the brain to be seen as images.

It doesn't. It attack the blood; specifically, it attacks the white blood cells, designed to fight and resist disease.

you cannot catch hiv through an infected touching your penis hiv is only transmitted through bodily fluids. now the in fected cloth thing i highly doubt it's possible but like i said it's transmitted through bodily fluids you might want to ask a doctor

A method of contraception which helps prevents STI's is a condom. This is because the penis has no direct contact with the vagina. It does not prevent STI's 100% like abstinence does, but it is very effective.

Not unless youre masturbating together with someone who has HIV.

Sexual contact is the main way you catch HIV, yes.

If that sexual partner had an STD, then it could have been passed on to you. So yes, you can.

yes she does on TV she said it and on her show she look like man anyway tran but seriously she have aids she admitted it

The child may feel uncomfortable is the equipment is not placed right or is not being used correctly.

It's for the safety of the child and users

HIV lives in blood and other body fluids that contain blood or white blood cells. People have gotten HIV through:

1. unprotected sexual intercourse with an HIV-infected person. This includes vaginal or anal intercourse, and oral sex on a man or woman without a condom or other barrier. Intercourse while a woman is having her period, or during outbreaks of genital sores or lesions (caused by herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases) can increase the risk of HIV transmission.

2. sharing drug injection equipment (needles and/or works); or being accidentally stuck by needles or sharp objects contaminated with infected blood.

No it isn't; it is a viral infection.

It is dependent on a lot of things. AIDS can take a very long time to develop, so if a person is diagnosed with HIV later in life, then they may never receive and AIDS diagnosis.

Some people with HIV infection do not find out their status until they already have AIDS. Without treatment however, if HIV is given enough time it will cause serious health issues that can result in an AIDS diagnosis.

The most important thing a person with HIV can do is to seek a qualified HIV medical provider and remain medically adherent. By controling viral levels in the body, medical professionals have made great advances in the reduction of AIDS cases.

One can not generalize this that easy. Because virus co-evolves together with its host at a very specific manner. I am working on the following area so giving example in the same: HIV need CD4 and CXCR4/CCR5 receptors to infect T-cells (of human). when these receptors are missing (example B cells) HIV wont infect those cell types. So the infection of a particular virus to enter its host cell requires specific receptors!
Once it enter the cell, the virus face restriction factors(proteins fight against virus), so virus need to have or evolve counteraction, otherwise it will not be able to replicate. Same HIV example, it has Vif protein to fight against APOBECs of human T cells. Unfortuantely APOBEC of B cell will kill HIV rapidly irrespective of vif presence, hence HIV avoid infecting B cells.

migth have been an invention by the catholic religion, a way for humans to avoid living life at its fullest, because sex is the most wonderful thing for us, humans

It is generalized which means swelling of the nodes occur in several parts of the body including arm pits groin and neck

No. Not in the United States.

There are over-the-counter testing kits avialable at some drug stores. The kits are usually expensive and require mailing samples to be processed in a lab. Rapid response tests require training about test delivery, storage and maintenance that would create an issue in a retail setting. It is also recommended to have a medical professional or counselor present when receiving a test result.

There are many testing locations that offer free, anonymous rapid response HIV testing. Rapid response tests are extremely accurate and provide results in as little as 20 minutes.

If you are not familiar with the resources or are having a hard time finding them in your area, please don't hesitate to follow-up. I would be happy to assist you.

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

Yes, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is by definition the end stage of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Yes. Blood, sexual fluids, and organ transplants all transmit HIV.

If you've ever had sex or blood transfusion with someone you don't know- like a hooker there may be a slight chance

Or if you're starting to look like Freddie Mercury in 1990. Or if the doctors told you
