in which way does an HIV patient have to change his life?

You of course have to take precautions sexually, however your life can be as unchanged as anyone who follows appropriate hygeine. Must be extremely careful not to intermingle blood and any other bodily secretions. There are wonderful toll free hotlines that can assist you or the person you are asking for. Check out the sources!

The only 'cure' for HIV / AIDS is to NOT get it. Meds help greatly to extend life, but HIV is a death sentence down the road...on the other hand, we are all going to die some day. If you want to help, there are many local, state, and national organizations to volunteer to. Good luck and it is nice to see a caring person here.

Because of the stigma that AIDS arouses. Automatically, people think "gay man" or something equally stereotypical. With Cancer, that automatically generates sympathy or empathy. With AIDS or HIV, you generally don't get that sympathy or empathy. Some people are very cruel, and some even think that the poor patient with AIDS "deserve it". I know how evil and cruel that sounds but it true. So, patients would rather receive sympathy and empathy than be looked upon as "someone who is deserving of this disease. What do you think? Does that sound reasonable?

I don't have AIDS or HIV, so I really couldn't tell you. The friends that I have had with the disease did act differently, they acted sad, mad, confused, and sick. Then they died.\n\nPeople live longer now with HIV/AIDS, so I would guess they have longer to adjust to it and maybe even come to terms and act "normal" again. Hopefully they don't share blood with others anymore. I can hope.

That is a TUFF question but I think that under my financial circumstances, it would not be my first option. Being that adopting a baby with AIDS is a great responsibility  and very emotional. However if, by any chance it was one of my family members or a friends or someone close, I will without, a doubt adopt that baby and make him/her my own. It is not the baby's fault he/she has it so why should I treat him/her any different.

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.

Have him checked for hiv and std's. Find out if it is a habit. Get yourself checked out for hiv and std's. Decide if this is something you can live with.

Of course not.  \n\nYes, irresponsibilty plays are part into why SOME people get HIV or AIDS, but these people have a disease that might take away their life!  What they need is support and understanding more than anything - all with HIV-AIDS, not some.

Apparently you can, but it is not easy. It requires a total change of lifestyle and, in some cases, of faith.

Not without extensive help.  They have to only be willing to change for themselves not for anyone else.  It is a very hard ordeal to be around, but it will take a long while for complete recovery.  A long hard road no matter which path is chosen.

If this is a question about revealing ones HIV status then, if ones status is positive, once revealed, it will affect all relationships - family, friends, work colleagues, health professionals etc.  Hopefully the affect will, in the main, not be too traumatic and will be accepted by those that profess to love you.  They will need to be reassured that the condition can be managed and that the usual prognosis is a normal life-span under fairly careful management.  The decision to reveal ones HIV status is difficult and the more (serious) advice/support one can get on this subject the better able one will be able to make an informed decision.

A person who is infected may not show active signs of the disease and therefore even without proper medical care could live for years, however it is best if anyone thinks they are infected or conduct themselves which could lead to infection should get tested.\n\nTechnically AIDS/HIV does not kill a person..it merely weakens and compromises the immune system allowing other diseases/germs to weaken the person and kill them (possibly) shen the disease is active. With proper care and medication people who are infected can live for years and lead a "normal" life.\n\nIt is transmitted through the transfer of bodily fluids. Such as unprotected sex, sharing needles, blood transfusions (done years ago), open wounds, etc. You cannot get it from a handshake, sharing the toilet seat, casual contact.

Change will happen only when he is dying for a change.  If he enjoys what he is doing, then he should get ready for the consequences.

What is his quality of life now?\nWhat would it be during cancer treatment?\nWhat would it be afterwards?\n\nThis is a difficult decision.  But it is a personal one.  If you make it with love for the patient, it will be the right one.
