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=)

It's awesome that you want to get involved!\n\nLook in your phone book and find a local AIDS service organization.  Call them up and tell them you want to volunteer.  It's the best thing anyone can do to help spread HIV awareness & prevention.\n\nMost HIV/AIDS agencies will have lots of volunteer opportunities for teens and adults.  They may have you work with younger people, educating them on how to stay safe.\n\nYou can also help stop the spread of HIV by getting good resources & facts from reliable sources & educating your friends & family.\n\nI've been working in the HIV education field for 21 years  & it's a really rewarding job!\n\nGood luck!

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.

For over twenty years it has been the subject of fierce debate and the cause of countless arguments, with everything from a promiscuous flight attendant to a suspect vaccine programme being blamed. So what it the truth? Just where did AIDS come from?\n\nThe first recognised cases of AIDS occurred in the USA in the early 1980s (more about this period can be found on our history page). A number of gay men in New York and San Francisco suddenly began to develop rare opportunistic infections and cancers that seemed stubbornly resistant to any treatment. At this time, AIDS did not yet have a name, but it quickly became obvious that all the men were suffering from a common syndrome. The discovery of HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus that causes AIDS was made soon after. While some were initially resistant to the connection (and indeed remain so today), there is now clear evidence to prove that HIV does cause AIDS. So, in order to find the source of AIDS, it is necessary to look for the origin of HIV, and find out How, When and Where HIV first began to cause disease in humans.

Is this a real question?  You should see a doctor who specializes in HIV care.\n\nMost people who are HIV+ are either treated or have not progressed to AIDS.  AIDS is the condition of having a compromised immune system.  Many HIV+ people would be at similar risk (compared to an uninfected person) if exposed to MRSA.\n\nMost agressive bacterial infections need to be treated in healthy persons, it is only more difficult for those with AIDS\n\nBTW, MRSA can be communicated easily without sex.

I'm an HIV counselor...do you have questions that I can answer? If you are HIV+, you can also go to your local HIV organization and ask to speak to someone in peer support-it is people who also have HIV or AIDS who offer support to others.  If you have specific questions, repost them and I will look for them.

There are various HIV agencies around the UK - most cities have one and a few of the larger towns. \n\nCheck yellow pages or read the gay papers / magazines and look in the section towards the back - drop in areas etc etc.\n\nIt also depends in what way you would like to work with HIV and AIDS. Diagnosis, treatment, alternative / complimentary therapy/ respite care / emotional support / befriending?\n\nSome really good things here, with opportunies to work as a volunteer to see if you can handle it - and also full time if you wish to make it a career choice.\n\nThe only minor irritation is that many folks assume that if you work for an HIV/AUDS org, you must be positive yourself, it can make fniding a partner harder!\n\nGood luck\n\n**UPDATE TO ANSWER**\n\nI am not sure why people make the assumption - it makes no more sense that assuming someone is living with a cancer diagnosis if they work as an oncologist. Reality is, a LOT of folks DO make the assumption that if you work in an HIV environment, you are probably positive yourself. I didn't mind particualry to be honest but it *IS* annoying when it interferes with your personal life.

Yes,ask your sex partners.  There's no harm in asking someone if they have had an HIV test.  That information can keep the both of you healthy.

Do you mean "aides" as in assistants or "AIDS" as in acquired immune deficiency syndrome?  You posted your question in the Diseases section so it sounds like you mean AIDS!  Gosh, I hope not.
