Avatar m tn Hi, On HAART what is the longest people can live post infection to death? Some people say a long 'normal' life... but data shows only up to around 10 years before conversion to AIDS then infection prone and risk of death within 5 years - usually 2-3. Anyone got any idea/ data?

Avatar m tn s very very unlikely that your pals had HIV or AIDS. Secondly, you did not do any thing that could lead to HIV transmission. If you have severe paranoia, you need to speak to your parents and seek counselling. You are okay, kid. Learn about HIV and it's transmission and move on. Don't waste your time trying to ***** your risk online, you never had one.
Avatar m tn Both of your exposures (unprotected receptive oral and deep kissing) do not put you at any risk of HIV. Your feelings are due to stress, anxiety or guilt. You are fine, move on with your life normally.
Avatar m tn In April of this year I will have been living with HIV/AIDS for 25 years if that will give you any idea of how long someone may live and I can tell you I'm not in poor health but I'm not in excellent health and I don’t see my health changing drastically in the near future.
Avatar n tn A normal person,there is open wound in the hand ,this open wound met just with a cap,this cap has some HIV secretion of the prostitute or some semen of HIV, I want know ,In real life Have discovered cases of HIV infection such?
Avatar m tn You do not have HIV.
Avatar m tn - worse things happen to people than becoming positve, everyone will be faced with some sort of challenge or tragedy in their life, you cant expect to escape it and it is what make us appreciate life more. life expectancy with hiv is about 50 years at the moment and new treatments have recently been devoloped that are started to attack even the dormant virus...ie. progress is still happening AIDS will just be a minor ailment soon maybe even totally cured.
Avatar m tn There are medications that permit people live a completely normal life with HIV without developing AIDS. I hope everything is ok, post your results. Personally, I think you didn't involve in high risk. This virus is very fragile and die easily at normal temperature. There is a chance the virus die in the way before it stuck on you. I will have you in my prayers.
Avatar n tn At any time durring the HIV or aids process would hemroids, nose bleeds and/or stiff neck and headeachs occur?
Avatar n tn So once you have hiv, you'll have hiv antibodies present for the rest of your life? or do some people stop making antibodies if they develop an advanced form of aids?
Avatar m tn Hello Medhelp, I have a problem and I couldn't think of anywhere else to post since I don't feel like I can talk to this with someone. Also it will be quite a long post, so I appreciate anyone willing to read until the end and providing so helpful advice. I am a 28-yeard old gay male. But for the longest time I've had what you can call aids-phobia, the idea of contracting aids terrifies me to death and I know that as a gay person the risks of contracting HIV is higher.
Avatar m tn Not only was the person hiv positive, but was diagnosis with Aids. However all of the symptoms listed above was similar to those of ARS, identical those posted by the cdc. What also raises concern for me are (window periods) since there has never been a study on precise data on seroconversion, however only estimated variables. Since lack of such research how can we apply window periods to every individual?Every individual is uniquely different and responds to infections at different rates.
Avatar f tn I did what was probably the biggest mistake of my life about a week before last Christmas. I didn't really worry about catching HIV cause a friend of mine was telling me how hard it was to catch. And I don't live in a big city so I didn't really think there would be many HIV infected guys in my town. Anyway, I went to my local dirty movie theater where I usually just masturbate with other guys. I never had actual oral or anal before.
Avatar n tn just wondering im 23 and say if i was diagnosed with hiv , would my life span be shortend , i know many ppl have died from aids , but is it true that with the new drugs and treatment available these days that you can live a normal life span and not die early ?
Avatar f tn At what point should he start taking them, so they wait until his T-Cell count drops and he does get AIDS? He has a friend with the disease and she had HIV for 11 years and just recently started medication when she got sick and went to the hospital and her T-Cell count was significantly lower. Are there a lot of bad side affects to the medications? I also read that the average life expectancy is 24 years after infection, is this true.
Avatar m tn If she had just finished with a client and masturbated him and had any semen left on her hand could i be at risk for transmission if he may have had aids given my open cut. Again, i am rather anxious and i know that this site isnt judgemental. Thank you.
Avatar f tn So, I am a female and a virgin. I have had several boyfriends before but never been sexually active with ANYONE until my current one. We have not had actual INTERCOURSE, but a few months ago he preformed cunnilingus on me for the first time ever, he also came up to kiss me directly afterwards too. (I'll also note that he has never had any sexual interaction with anyone before me.
Avatar f tn but i have heard that body fluid can enter the body through skin is it possible that can u have aids?
Avatar m tn After further discussions I was convinced that these symptoms was HIV progressing to AIDS. Would these be consistent with that? Is it possible to have had HIV for so long and not know? Sounds crazy, but I am a normal family man with a house, 2 cars, 3 kids a dog and the fenced in yard, so what do I know.
Avatar f tn You do not have HIV, trust your test report and move on with your life. If you did not have any exposure in last three months from the date of your test, the result is 100% conclusive and final.
Avatar f tn um I was with my bf for like a year anyways he left me about a month ago he just left didnt tell me he was leaving I think he may have hiv or aids and has infected me ive been feeling sick for a while off and on but I have not been tested in about a year anyways ive got this rly bad cough and sometimes I feel like its hard to breathe it been like tht for a couple weeks now I dont have insurance and ive been too much of a coward to go to the hospital because im by myself I cnt tell my family...
Avatar f tn s all symptoms of HIV who says that HIV is not diagonse of symptom if it is diagonals by test ,all people would died of aids without knowing they have HIV .. M ready to live with it but not more than 1 month.
Avatar m tn What are the chances of me being exposed to AIDs or HIV from using heroin IV? I'm going to a Free Health Clinic soon? I hope... I want to get tested to be safe. Ive done Heroin a handful of times since December of 09. Ive never shared a needle, and have always taken the necessary pre cautions.
