Studies have actually shown that kissing helps to boost the immune system. So go for it!  There are few diseases that can be realistically passed from a kiss, and none serious enough to really be of much concern.\n-Duo

Poor diet,anemia,life style, chest infections can hang around 4 ever... so it seems when u get one! think u should maybe get a HIV test u say u are celibate "NOW" so guess u have had sexual relationships before your celibacy and the HIV virus can lay dormant for many years  as 4 people finding out that u have had a test "its your life" and tho at the moment there is not a cure if u start a course of medication it can help with the symptoms  and some say helps hold back the onset of the big "A" that's all I can say on the subject............. hope u recover soon I really do !

The HIV pos partner would have to be bleeding tremendously and you would have to be drinking like a gallon of it. Saliva will kill the virus so it is not possible to get HIV from someone who kisses you  or if you drink after them.

false.  it means they will develop aids.  hiv causes aids.

well yes there's still chance for that, aside from sexual intercourse, HIV can be acquired through blood transfusion, or if you have an open wound and your partner has one and those two wounds touch each other, just be sure both of you dont have an open wound on your lips before kissing, the virus's incubation period takes a long time and is virtually undetectable unless if you go for a check up.

Yes (if the blood is fresh), just as the sperm is a way of spreading HIV.

I'm really not sure. You would have to cut yourself first for you to be exposed to the virus. Do you have a razor that has been infected with the HIV or AIDS virus? if you do why? And How? (if you do i strongly suggest you don't shave with it). If you don't then I'm happy for you.

First off, nobody "gets" AIDS.  One "gets" HIV which then *MAY* progress to AIDS.\n\nHIV dies almost immediately upon being exposed to air.  It can not live for very long at all outside the body--mere seconds at the most.  Theoretically, one can contract HIV from a toilet seat.  However, a very specific set of circumstances would have had to occur.  A person who has HIV bled or otherwise left on this hypothetical toilet seat some amount of HIV-infected fluid.  Then, you would have to *IMMEDIATELY* sit down on the toilet seat and you would also need to have placed a cut or other opening into your body directly on the blood or other fluid.  Then, you MIGHT contract HIV that way.  But who sits down on bloody toilet seat?\n\nAs far as convincing your mother that touching something will not give her HIV try this tactic:  If HIV *was* spread through touching items, many, many more people would have it.  In fact, even she might have it *IF* it were spread so easily since, chances are, she's either come in contact with HIV.  Or someone she's come in contact with has contact with someone with HIV.  Or someone that person has come in contact with has come in....  Well, you get the idea.

you sure bet it will.  Are you stupid, the risk is only slightly lower than regular intercourse but go get tested immediately if this happend and then be abstin6ate for months and get retested.

Possible. One can have HIV infection from infected blood or sexual fluids. If you happen to touch  an infected blood or sexual fluid and you accidentally touch your wound (if you have one) or you happen to touch the part of your sex organ that is most sensitive to the virus (by having sex with yourself as you said??), then you might get HIV...Just making an analysis.

One can never if the HIV was transmitted to the woman but it is a very exposure altogether.The chances of HIV transmission depend on the viral load in the HIV + preson's bodily fluids at the time of sex,so we cannot determine if transmission occoured.\nThe only way to determine this is to take a HIV test.\nIt is very important to note that both the HIV + man and HIV - woman should not have sex with anybody to stop further transmission of the virus to others.\nHIV tests are of 2 types,\nScreening tests: ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay - the most commonly followed procedure). Spot test or Rapid Test These may give false positive results and hence should be confirmed.\nConfirmatory Tests: Western Blot, the most commonly used procedure. There are other tests that are done to detect the virus or its protein or genetic material. These are however, expensive, complicated or may take long and hence, are used only for research and academic purposes.\nThe screening tests are again of 2 types,\nAntibody tests :Look for the antibodies in the blood.This test will provide correct results if taken 3-6 months after risky exposure.\nAntigen Tests:Proviral HIV DNA PCR Test:Looks for the DNA of the virus in the blood and can be taken after 72 hours of exposure but it is advisable to take this test 2 weeks after the risky exposure.\nAntiretrovirals should be taken only on the advice of medical professionals.\nWhat u need to do now are:\n1.Visit a Doctor.\n2.Take a HIV test as advised by the Doctor.\n3.Abstain from having sex with anybody.\n\nHoping that the woman is not HIV +...\nInfection due to HIV in adults occurs through:\n1. Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Regular and consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse means protected sex and minimizes the chances of getting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.\n2. Transfusion of infected blood or blood products.\n3. Use of infected needles as in injecting drug use or in health care settings.\n4. From mother to child. \n\nThe A, B, C of HIV prevention are:\nA= Abstinence\nB= Being faithful to one single partner and\nC= Consistent and correct use of condoms.

If a dog bit an infected human then before the virus could die bit an uninfected human it is possible for a dog to transmit HIV that way. Difficult to do since the dog would have to get enough blood with enough virus and then manage to put enough of that into the second human who was bitten. The virus would not live long in a dogs mouth and does not live at all in a dog. So the odds of this happening are a million to one or more. It COULD possibly happen if everything was just right.

If there is an open wound of some kind (which is possible even if you don't know it) but getting HIV by mouth is very very rare, it may never have happened at all in fact, though theoretically not impossible

Not necessarily... See AIDS transmission does not necessarily happen though digestive tract.... \n\nIf the person who had the semen has a small gash in his/her mouth and or digestive tract there is a possibility of infection. Since the stomach is filled with acid it is not a good environement for most viruses.\n\nStill the best way to find out is to get tested and further testing withing after a 6 month waiting period.

There's a very, very, VERY slim chance, but given certain circumstances, yes you can. For example, say you had a cut in your mouth, or even tiny, microscopic cuts in between your gums such as from flossing, and the person you are kissing is infected with HIV and he or she too has a cut or miscroscopic cuts from flossing and some of the infected fluid gets into your blood stream through your cut, then yes, technically you can get HIV, but this is seriously very rare.

No. HIV (the virus causing AIDS) is very vulnerable. It needs to live in a moist environment. 2 hours out in the air, it dies. If you're really worried, use some good antiseptic soap to wash the jeans, hang it out to dry, or take it to the dry cleaners.

When someone first becomes positive for HIV, they usually have a flu-like illness/cold with a low-grade fever. This doesn't always happen, but it is common. There are many infections that someone with HIV can get, including skin infections, but these are usually seen when the disease is far along, not at the beginning. So likely your boils are not related to this at all, perhaps you just have a severe skin infection. You should see a doctor so that he/she can put you on the appropriate antibiotics and determine if the boils need to be drained. You should also continue to be tested regularly for HIV if you have risk factors, and always use condoms to prevent transmission! Good luck!
