Many diseases have differnet strands. For example HPV has 16 that I know of (cause of cancer cells)  The family you talk about is kown as HSV -oral is HSV 1, genital HSV 2.  There are more as well in the herpes zoster family, shingles and chicken pox.  It is possible for you to get both since they are different strands at the same time but cases are rare (like 1% they say.)  There are test to see if you have both the HSV strands as well as others.

Yes, but I would wash the area throughly afterwords.\n\nIf you do it for more than about 5 hours, it might cause a rash, or infection.

There is no proof for such possibility. The virus has a very weak environmental susceptibility and is not able to be transmitted via contaminated surfaces. Modes of transmission are sexual, vertical, blood or blood components transfusion, broken skin+infected blood and contaminated needles used by injection drug users.\nThe disease is diagnosed when an opportunistic infection e.g. P Cranii P or malignancy e.g. K. Sarcoma are detected, HIV antibodies in the blood and the increased numbers of T cells in the blood.

If you are not intimate with this person and you do not do intravenous drugs together, there is no chance that you will get HIV/AIDS from just hanging around. This disease does not pass by casual contact. Please do not reject your friend because he is HIV+. Your fear is irrational.

First dont think there is anything dirty about you. When I was twenty my toddler daughter got it on her ankle and I was mortified,.  I thought only dirty people got them. The only thing dirty about it is that is where she got them. The doctor told me they lived in the dirt outside. And yes they are highly contagious.\nIf a toddler or infant gets them you should only apply the Lindane to the affected areas with a cotton ball and then after the prescribed time wash it off. This is to prevent them from absorbing too much of the medication through their skin.  In older children and adults you need to apply it everywhere and then wash off a instructed.\nWhen my youngest got them, this time from a friend whose entire family had them, he gave them to the entire family before I even knew he had it. This time my oldest son was a teenager and when he was told to apply and then shower he didn't put it on his genitals and guess what!?  Yup, we all got them again.\nThey definately like to live in warm, dark and moist spaces, but if not treated right away they will spread and they do this by burrowing under the skin.; As disgusting as it is scabies are a live mite that is living under the skin and they can travel. So the most common places are the finger webs, under breasts, elbow crease, groin and so on, and the most common formation is kind of lines of bumps that are formed as they burrow along.\nBy the way, yes you need to wash all the linens and the clothes they wore but you do not need to treat the whole house with the sprays and stuff. These things are for lice not for scabies.  Hope this helps

Any time you exchange body fluids you are risking infection.

You could have eczema or possibly an allergy from foods, the type of laundry detergent you use, or maybe certain soaps and lotions.

It's possible, especially if he sneezed or coughed around you. Just because you recently had an illness doesn't mean that you can't get it again, even soon afterward. This is partly because there are many strains of viruses out there. Your body might have fought something very similar to what your friend got, but that doesn't mean you'll be immune.

Germs from the other person are in that smoke. just imagine if that person had TB which is highly contagious.

They usually get on your hand when you blow your nose or toss the tissue anyway.  Those Kleenex, in my opinion, just make people think they are safe from passing germs on to others when washing your hands is the best way to prevent the spread of infections.

You are safe!!!\nThe virus that causes aids cannot live for very long outside the body and then you really do need to have an open wound on your finger at just the right spot immediately after the person left the sink to even consider the outside possibility of contracting it.\nHow ever if you are still concerned about the risk all you need to do is use a paper towel to turn the water on and off.

In such circumstances he can ask someone to help him out while doing the ritual washing. He can even pay the assistant if it is possible for him. If this is also not possible (as evident from the mentioned case) then such person is dispensed from having ritual washing. \n\nIf he is assited by some person then the assistant should only do those acts of ritual washings that are not possible to be performed by the disabled person himself.\n\nIslam shows a lenient behaviour towards prayers. \ne.g. If a person knows that he will become sick after doing ritual washing with water, then he is exempted from doing that.

it depends on which hepatitis virus you are talking about. There is A (food borne/contamination with fecal matter)\nHepatitis B (having sex with someone who has it or sharing drugs with the infected person)\nHepatitis C (there is no chance unless there is transfer of blood into your blood)\nHepatitis D (only occurs with hepatitis B)\nHepatitis E (rare in the United States)

no you can't get a disease if neither of you have one, however, you can never really trust someone.  He or you, may have something that you don't even know about.  Or he could be lying to you, too ashamed to admit it.  Please be careful!  \n\nAnd remember that condoms don't prevent herpes (which can lead to HPV, which can lead to cervical cancer, which can lead to infertility or even death)
