Actually, nothing happens to a person w/ HIV......  It's only when it turns into full-blown AIDS that the body's immune system is compromised, then the person could get sick and die from any one of a zillion diseases, because the body cannot fight them off.

you could get hiv if there infected.

It can only be transferred by bodily fluids. Even  if the person had an open cut on the had, the HIV can only live outside the body for a few seconds. your pretty safe.

You can get infected with a different strain of the virus.  The HIV virus mutants.

the kid who has HIV is in more risk than all the others.  they are susceptible to all kinds of disease and can die with a simple cold.  let him wear a mask and just say it was a super hero costume.  Practice good hygiene in your center.  Don't isolate the kid.  But keep your eyes open so as not too let anyone exchange body fluids accidentally

As others have said, HIV/AIDS is contracted through an exchange of bodily fluids...so, a person with HIV/AIDS would have to have their blood, saliva, breast milk, vaginal fluids, semen, etc. enter the bloodstream of another person or enter their system through an orifice, through a wound that leads to the blood stream, through a tear duct, etc. \n\nDepth isn't so much an issue as is the question of whether the infected person is bleeding or leaking a bodily fluid, and where that fluid comes into contact with another. \n\nIf you are worried about a specific incident, I suggest visiting the website for the "Center for Disease Control," or "The National AIDS Fund," or speaking with your health care provider or a member of your local HIV/AIDS testing agency.

Where is the claim that the virus is "dead" once it leaves the body??? The virus is transmitted when an infected person shares bodily fluid with the fluid of another person. The virus isn't magically dead if it leaves the body - it exists within the fluid. This fluid can remain on the bristles of the toothbrush and toothbrushes are notorious for penetrating the gum walls of the mouth thus proving an effective way to the person's bloodstream (the other person's fluid - blood)\n\nAlso note that small traces of fecal matter can also be found on a toothbrush that has been left out on the sink or somewhere close to an open toilet. If the toilet seat is open when you flush, then small amounts of fecal and urine matter can travel up through the air and land on convenient places - like an exposed toothbrush. I'm not saying all fecal matter has the HIV virus, but storing your toothbrush inside the cabinet and NOT letting ANYONE else use it - would prevent unnecessary infection from various pathogens.\n\nMore information on the subject and especially on transmission methods can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV#Transmission

Though it's not been scientifcally reseached enough, a person exposed to HIV will usually develop a 2-3 day "conversion flu", symptoms seem similar to nausea, food poisoning or fever.  It's when the viral load can achieve its highest hold in the body before the immune system has a chance to kick in,

Most probably it will get infected. And if then you don't treat the infection on time you might lose that part of the body and even die. But it will take a few days or even weeks before it happens

Well, I think if you're still here, then somebody's doing something right, but that's really a question you should be asking a doctor, doll.\nUnfortunately, I am not familiar with the specifics of HIV or AIDS.  What I do know is that HIV can lead to AIDS, which stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.\nA deficient immune system is what would keep you from getting better if you did get sick, and would obviously be more likely to result in death.\nSo aside from the HIV-AIDS link there, I don't know what to tell you except ask a doc.

HIV/AIDS is spread through body fluids (ie blood, semen, vaginal fluids) as well as from used infected needles.  If someone who is HIV positive is giving a facial massage, you cannot contract it simply by them touching you.  However, if they have a cut on their hand and you have an open sore on your body, it is possible to contract it that way.  But even in that case there still has to be enough active HIV components in the blood in order to affect you.  If this is a personal experience for you, sounds like you are worrying over nothing.  If your mind still isn't at ease, wait about two months and get tested!

there are plenty of antibiotics now that may increase life, HIV hurts the body's immune system because the bodies T-cells are infected, usually people don't die from HIV/AIDS but from common diseases such as the flu, diarrhea, common cold.

There is much misconception about this.\nThe Human Immunodefeciency Virus, aka HIV is a virus (obviously) that infects humans, specifically recognising cd4 and cd8 receptors. \nAuto Immunodeficency Syndrom, aka AIDS, is a condition when you the amount of white blood cells in your blood drops below a certain level.\n\nHIV infections, in the latter stages, can lead to AIDS.\nBut other things can cause AIDS. AIDS is not only caused by HIV.\n\nOh, point of note - you don't die from HIV or AIDS. You actually die from a secondary infection, due to having AIDS. Feel free to contact me for more info.

HIV will survive as long as the blood is still wet. If the blood has dried, the HIV virus is no longer alive. keep in mind, the outer layer of the blood could be dry and appear dry, but underneath may still be wet. also, the infected blood would need to get into the blood stream of another person in order to pass on the infection.

Symptoms:\nThe symptoms of AIDS are primarily the result of infections that do not normally develop in individuals with healthy immune systems. These are called opportunistic infections.\n\nPatients with AIDS have had their immune system depleted by HIV and are very susceptible to such opportunistic infections. Common symptoms are fevers, sweats (particularly at night), swollen glands, chills, weakness, and weight loss.\n\nSee the signs and tests section below for a list of common opportunistic infections and major symptoms associated with them.\n\nNote: Initial infection may produce no symptoms. Some people with HIV infection remain without symptoms for years between the time of exposure and development of AIDS. However, some people develop what feels like flu about two weeks after contracting the virus.\n\nSigns and tests:\nThe following is a list of AIDS-related infections and cancers that people with AIDS acquire as their CD4 count decreases. Previously, having AIDS was defined by having HIV infection and acquiring one of these additional diseases, but now it is simply defined as a CD4 count below 200. Many other illnesses and corresponding symptoms may develop in addition to those listed here.\n\n\nPrevention:\nThe following steps may seem personally restrictive, but they are effective and can save your life.\n\n1.See the article on safe sex to learn how to reduce the chance of acquiring or spreading HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.\n2.Do not use intravenous drugs. If IV drugs are used, do not share needles or syringes. Many communities now have needle exchange programs where used syringes can be disposed of and new, sterile needles obtained for free. 3.These programs can also provide referrals to addiction treatment.\n4.Avoid contacting blood from injuries or nosebleeds where the HIV status of the bleeding individual is unknown. 5.Protective clothing, masks, and goggles may be appropriate when caring for people who are injured.\n6.Anyone who tests positive for HIV may pass the disease on to others and should not donate blood, plasma, body organs, or sperm. An infected person should warn any prospective sexual partner of their HIV-positive status, should not exchange body fluids during sexual activity, and must use whatever preventative measures (such as condoms) will afford the partner the most protection.\n7.HIV-positive women who wish to become pregnant should seek counseling about the risk to unborn children and medical advances which may help prevent the fetus from becoming infected. Use of certain medications can dramatically reduce the chances that the baby will become infected during pregnancy.\n8.Mothers who are HIV-positive should not breast feed their babies.\n9.Safe-sex practices, such as latex condoms, are highly effective in preventing HIV transmission. HOWEVER, there remains a risk of acquiring the infection even with the use of condoms. Abstinence is the only sure way to prevent sexual transmission of HIV.\n\n=)

AIDS is a combination of so many symptoms caused by HIV virus.so AIDS does nt mutate but HIV virus mutates.tho it does mutates,it can change only a part of its properties that too which make them stonger to survive.If they mutated so that they could survive in air,they would have created a major disaster for us.usually they die on explosure to air.
