Since AIDS came onto the scene and we've ben educated about how its transferred, more people are being cautious. People who date and/or having sexual relations tend to protect themselves a lot better and a lot more than 20 years ago. Married people usually get check ups before marriage to ensure nothing is wrong with each other (AIDS, STD, etc). \n\nA family coping with someone with AIDS is no different than a family dealing with cancer. Both can be treated with meds, however, there is no cure for either. Some recover, some don't........My hubby's best friend died from AIDS, got a bad blood transfusion long before they screened things the way they do now. He lingered for many years, some good days, some bad. AIDS doesn't know homosexual, or drug user...It can happen to the average person. No one is immune to it, you just have to try and protect yourself from it and make life about life, not death!

Talk about your family.

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.

Wear a red ribbon. Educate yourself as much as possible about the disease, transmission, statistics, etc.\n\nEncourage people to get tested and to practice safer sex. And tell them to tell someone. \n\nWhen people ask you about the ribbon, be prepared to tell them - don't lecture them, but be prepared if they ask. You may not have the money to touch 1,000,000 people all at once, but you have the power to tell someone!\n\nFriday, December 1 is World AIDS Day - it's a great day to start.

Of course.  If both members of a couple are faithful servants of God, then they remain virgins until they marry each other.  They do not divorce and they do not commit adultery.  So there is no chance at all that they will ever have aids or any other venereal disease.  Also, being faithful servants of God, they do not use contaminated needles, which is another source of aids.  Rarely, a good person can get aids from blood or blood product transfusion, or from dirty medical or dental equipment.

AIDS caused a lot of changes in sexual behaviour - it caused many people to stop having casual sex, and go back to monogomous steady sexual relationships.

well if you are really serious and would like the answer ..go to your nearest hospital and ask for a tour of their HIV and aids unit..and ask all the questions you can think of..aids can be harmfull to the soul and to others..its is the death of many and no one will stand up and challenge the medical world..always use condoms and never be afraid to stand and say what and who you  are..it is not a gay disease..it is life..can be passed from all types of sexual acts. know your partner even the silent side of them..everyone has played the field and the time of waiting is now..always be checked and your partner too..be safe and live for tomorrow..go anywhere and you will know at least one person who carries that secret..i have friends who have aids/HIV..and they are wonderful..and i have friends who have died from this same thing...check yourself..and ask the questions in your mind..
