The OraQuick test is the only rapid test licensed to screen both oral fluids and blood for HIV, according to Bloomberg. Bob Wood, director of the HIV/AIDS control program at the Seattle-based department, said that in 5,460 tests, OraQuick failed to detect at least 8% of 133 people found to be HIV-positive with a non-rapid diagnostic. This compared with the 0.7% rate given on the test's label.
Personally, I think it would be quite cost effective for the government and health care officials to educate the public about Hep C instead of waiting for those of us with Hep C to get sick and waiting for more and more individuals to become positive. In the long run, an agreesive educational program and treatment would pay off.
One problem for us (besides the stigma) is that we are not a homogeneous group. We don't have a voice and we have no clout.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.

The city of Las Vegas has shut down a clinic where up to 40,000 people may have been exposed to hepatitis C and the HIV virus through the reuse of syringes and vials, officials said on Sunday.
The clinic at the heart of the scandal, the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada, "was served with an emergency suspension of its business license," city authorities said in a statement.
HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS. An HIV test will test for antibodies to the HIV virus in your bloodstream (though there are Saliva tests and I beleive some urine based tests). Someone who is HIV+ does not automatically have AIDS. A definition of AIDS is when the CD4 count is measured as being below 250.
Regarding HIV, they are telling you to go back at 12 weeks, because 12 weeks or 3 months is what most state health officials consider to be the testing window for HIV. However, most people usually sero-convert 2 to 4 weeks after contracting the virus. If you were tested at 8 weeks and came back negative, I wouldn't be too worried about it (but I would still abstain from sexual activity, just to be safe, but that is just what I would do personally).
"Health" of a camp has nothing to do with the poor seller dies of AIDS two years ago. You can use it yourself, resell it do whatever you want,,,,,, HIV does not come in between anyway.
Your infection begins to develop into AIDS. AIDS is a condition that is caused by the HIV virus. It refers to the substantial destruction of the immune system and subsequent infections that are able to attack the body as a result of this. Semantics aside, it is possible someone does not know they are infected until they have developed into AIDS.
3) No it would not. You need to undergo an HIV test to catch the infection.
It is said that area has certain rate of HIV infection. Because it is public area and if there is any HIV virus on the ground (I know risk is low, I just want to consult with you if there is any risk for this kind of scenario?) do you think there is any risk that any possible HIV virus could infect me through my fissure on my feet? You know the ground is very wet and there could be anything out there in the public area.
YES you should and you should ignore people like Gary L Glum because he's full of you know what.HIV/AIDS is real and so is HIV testing.These HIV/AIDS denialists don't have a clue and they have blood on their hands.
