aids
AnnieBrooke gave you very good information. Just to add - you won't get HIV/AIDS or any sexually-transmitted diseases from fingering.
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.
I am freaking out that i have hiv/ aids since prostitutes are not people i trust and she may have very well had hiv/aids. What are my chances of getting Hiv/aids in this situation? i also heard that its very rare to get hiv/aids on single sexual encounter, is that true? what other STDs am i at risk for and what tests should i get done?
what can you tell me about angular cheilitis as it relates to HIV. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the web about this. The doctors on this site seem to think the association is pretty tenuous at best.
Is it generally associated with late-stage infection or early? There are sites that claim it's usually an indication of early infection, but others say it's rare until full-blown AIDS develops. I thought I remember Dr.
t conflicting information from HIV experts. The way that adults actually get HIV is very straight forward. HIV is transmitted by unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles. That's it. So, this was not a risk.
My dr told me that there was a guy from Kenya who was hiv positive for 5 years but tested negative.How can I be sure that I dont have the virus.Im very worried....that I might progress to the aids stage and die without anyone knowing what of because of the gestation period.I had sex with a hooker 7 months ago but i have been sick ever since.
As you've been told, you had no risk for HIV from oral sex, but you are at risk for STD's. Please post to our STD Forum for further information and advice.
You never had a risk and your condom didn,t fail or you would have known straight away.Stop surfing the net for information,its just going to make you more anxious.You have been given the correct information,except it and relax.
MY SON HAD UNPROTECTED SEX WITH A PROSTITUTE. HE IS 17 AND HE WAS A VIRGIN...HE IS CIRCUMSISED, DOES NOT DRINK OR USE DRUGS. I AM VERY SCARED AND DEPRESSED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE STI OR HIV. HE HAS BEEN TESTED FOR URINAL YSIS/FECES AFTER SIX DAYS AMD CAME BACK ALL NORMAL, BUT IS NOT CONCLUSIVE BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN LONG ENOUGH. PLEASE IF YOU CAN GIVE ME PIECE OF MIND.
I spotted this material on the web and just wanted to bring it to the attention of the forum. I think this is just old information that they did not take off their website but it is from a Dr.

WHEN TO GET TESTED
QUESTION
How long does it take for HIV to show up in a blood test?
ANSWER
The HIV test is an antibody test that measures the body's reaction to the HIV virus.
HIV can be transmitted due to sharing needles, this is because the blood interact. Unfortunately, there is no cure for HIV (note that HIV isn't the same as AIDS) but treatment for this virus is really advanced. 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.
Yet in the quarter century of the known HIV/AIDS epidemic, with millions of infected people worldwide, not one household contact is known to have caught HIV, if they did not have sex or share injection equipment with the infected person. Not one.
Can I imagine a possibility from the sort of events you describe. Sure. I can also imagine getting hit by a meteorite, but I don't go out of my way to take precautions against it.
Still, it has accurate information about how HIV is transmitted -- and most important for many users of this forum, how it is NOT transmitted, e.g. by kissing, body contact, exposure to most body fluids, and so on.
What are my chances of getting Hiv/aids in this situation? i also heard that its very rare to get hiv/aids on single sexual encounter, is that true? what other STDs am i at risk for and what tests should i get done? the reason i am so worried about other stds is because its been two days and i have swollen lymph noides, frequent urge to urinate with a white discharge and my rectum a weird feeling to it with some strange bowel movements.
The tester explained to me that 90 percent of people seroconvert by 3 months and so the test was meaningless. 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.
t catch AIDs, you develop it after you catch HIV, old needles aren’t a high risk for HIV as HIV has been exposed to the environment for some time and is rendered inactive, the situation where HIV is spread through needles is in the healthcare sector or through the sharing of needles through drug use, as the blood is relatively fresh.
s viral load been measured and do you know the result? Or his CD4 lymphocyte count? Even without this information, is your dad is ill with HIV/AIDS? Was he diagnosed because of symptoms, or as a routine screening test? These things can give clues about how infectious his blood might be. Is he part of the household, or was he just visiting your home at the time?
Even without that information, I can assure you there is little or no risk of HIV transmission from the events you have described.
aw thats really good. Has your partner got hiv. i hear now that couples with hiv cannow have kids. i find this amazing now from were theyhave come from th days in the 90s when there were adverts saying AIDS KILLS to now. were people live normal healthy lives and can get a mortgage and have kids.
