aids
Does anyone know if the info is out there anywhere and if so where to find it? I want to find out what percentage of all hiv/aids cases are from males who have sex with women.
Statistics from HIV Aids council Australia,''of the 25,000+ people living in Australia with HIV 82% are men who have sex with men,10% hetro sexual community,8% iv drug users''.How is my statement incorrect??
You don't use statistics to assess your risk, you test to know your status. Use condoms correctly and consistently and you can avoid HIV and most STDs.
I am looking for information and transmission facts and statistics relating to partners who both have HSV-1 orally and one has HSV-2 genitally. Although I know that the chances of spreading HSV-1 to eithers genitals is extremely low, is there any numbers out there on this? Also on the transmission of HSV-2 to the mouth of someone who already has HSV-1? Thanks in advance.
You can begin to help yourself by getting educated about HIV/AIDS. I would urge you to refrain from any form of sexual encounter until you understand how HIV is transmitted. Since you obviously don't know what does and what doesn't constitute safe sex, you should probably abstain until you learn how to protect both you and your partner.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but people KNOW there is a risk out there and yet they just keep on having sex and then freaking out.
Let me explain something about "life span" statistics and how we arrive at them. They're calculated on the basis of averages. They survey a sample of people in a particular group (gay men, for example) and look at the average age of death. The result is the average life span for that group.
If you consider the number of young men who have died of AIDS over the years, of course there's a higher number of deaths among young, gay men.
Oral sex is "theoretically" a sincerely low risk; however, the risk is so close to zero that it cannot be calculated. This doesn't mean to go enjoy oral sex with someone bleeding from the gums while massaging your genitals with a cheese grater, but you shouldn't be too concerned. If you would like to know the statistics of HIV/AIDS based on gender, you can easily go Google "HIV Statistics.
I have just recently joined MedHelp and find it aninteresting and informative site.
I am somewhat curious about the distinction between comments from the physicians and those from the forum members / moderators (ie: Lizzie and Teak).
AIDS and leukemia are opposite diseases: AIDS is caused by too few white blood cells, while leukemia and lymphoma are caused by too many. With that in mind, consider the following statistics from data-rider.org:
The 25 US states with the highest potato consumption rates have an AIDS rate 117% lower than the other 25 states. The odds of that happening by chance are about 7752 to 1 against.
Those states also have a leukemia rate 7.
Dear Volunteers,
As I have shared about my case of unprotected vaginal sex with CSW few days back today while speaking with my doc I came to know that few people have died of AIDS in my location with in 2 years of them contracting with virus.
Means contracting with virus leads to death .
I don't know how much he is right as per my knowledge hiv if left untreated then it leads to AIDS and that to after a longer period please help me with your valuable advice on the same.
I have been on several websites in reference to my concern, and the statistics are killing me. "Low risk" is not low enough. I engaged in receptive oral sex a few times, for about a minute or two each time, and I'm unsure as to whether or not pre-cum was present during any of the times.
Has anyone heard of this hiv like virus in china? If so please share FACTS with me! I'm hoping it's bs.!!
An HIV test will not detect the presence of the HIV virus immediately after exposure. Statistics show that 96% (perhaps higher) of all infected individuals will test positive within 2 to 12 weeks. In some cases, this may take up to six months."

I questioned her information, and she showed me the same information written on a card from the Maryland AIDS Administration. The local news here had cited the same statistics from the Virginia agency. Both of these organizations are headed by MDs and (I’m almost sure) receive Federal funding from CDC. They must receive money from the State taxpayers.
I'm not an idiot. I know all the statistics and I'm not scared of people with HIV or AIDS. I actually work in a population where it's very possible for anyone of my clients to be diagnosed with it. Maybe you and nvmybeauty should think before you jump to conclusions like you did. Because I didn't know what peripheral neuropathy was I thought maybe it was caused by the AIDS. I apologize for "assuming" so.

Could someone please spell out what the statistics say about how much I have increased my risk of skin cancer including melanoma as well as explain to me the likelihood of noticeable long term skin damage such as liver spots, moles etc. If skin damage will occur, when will it become evident and what warning signs should I look for?
