Can an Hiv positive person pass hiv to a healthy person if he/she has the habit of digging nose.?

No you can't. HIV dies when it's out of the body. Sex and exchange of bodily fluids are pretty much the only ways that you are going to aquire this.

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.

I am not a medical person but I have volunteered at many different sexual health clinics and come from a medical family.  \nWith that said:  \n\n\n\nHepatitis C is transmitted when the blood or body fluids from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not immune to the disease.\n\nIt can be spread by:\n\nHaving sex with an infected person without a condom (though experts don't know if condoms prevent transmission or just reduce it).\nSharing drugs and needles.\nBeing cut by infected needles (health care workers).\nBirth from a mother to a child.\nHepatitis C is not spread through food, water, or by casual contact.\n\nUnless you are sharing razors and bodily fluids with this guy, you are not in any danger.  You could hug him, kiss him, sit on his lap, hold his hand - all of these, all day long, and you would NOT get the disease.  \n\nIt is also not a form of HIV/AIDS, they are completely different diseases. \n\nI think it is wonderful that you would take someone in, but you should never do anything that you are not completely comfortable with.  You and your family are absolutely safe with this person unless you start sharing needles or having sex.  \n\nI suggest going to www.webmd.com (i've included the link to a Hep C overview), www.wikipedia.org, and asking your family doctor for advice in order to make yourself absolutely comfortable.  \n\nHope it helps!

Your question sounds like it might need an answer that is vitally important to you.  So don't censor it.  HIV can pass between males and females, some ways MUCH more easily than others.  Get the information you need from a nurse, teacher, librarian, some other accessible, responsible adult, before you take a fatal risk.

If there was any swapping of bodily fluids, perhaps.\nIf the skin was broken on the HIV negative person and not the HIV positive person, there is a good change transmission did not occur.\n\nIf the HIV negative person is worried, s/he can always get tested. Many cities offer free testing either through Planned Parenthood or AIDS outreach organizations

because gays have anal sex and to be blunt, that area tears easily, giving infected fluids an entrance into your body .\n\n  How is HIV Transmitted?    \n\nHIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:\n\nBlood (including menstrual blood) \nSemen \nVaginal secretions \nBreast milk \nBlood contains the highest concentration of the virus, followed by semen, followed by vaginal fluids, followed by breast milk.\n\n* Activities That Allow HIV Transmission\n\nUnprotected sexual contact \nDirect blood contact, including injection drug needles, blood transfusions, accidents in health care settings or certain blood products \nMother to baby (before or during birth, or through breast milk) \nSexual intercourse (vaginal and anal): In the genitals and the rectum, HIV may infect the mucous membranes directly or enter through cuts and sores caused during intercourse (many of which would be unnoticed). Vaginal and anal intercourse is a high-risk practice.\n\nOral sex (mouth-penis, mouth-vagina): The mouth is an inhospitable environment for HIV (in semen, vaginal fluid or blood), meaning the risk of HIV transmission through the throat, gums, and oral membranes is lower than through vaginal or anal membranes. There are however, documented cases where HIV was transmitted orally, so we can't say that getting HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid or blood in the mouth is without risk. However, oral sex is considered a low risk practice.\n\nSharing injection needles: An injection needle can pass blood directly from one person's bloodstream to another. It is a very efficient way to transmit a blood-borne virus. Sharing needles is considered a high-risk practice.\n\nMother to Child: It is possible for an HIV-infected mother to pass the virus directly before or during birth, or through breast milk. Breast milk contains HIV, and while small amounts of breast milk do not pose significant threat of infection to adults, it is a viable means of transmission to infants.\n\nThe following "bodily fluids" are NOT infectious:\n\nSaliva \nTears \nSweat \nFeces \nUrine

Only if you pass saliva or blood with the kiss.\nWhich body fluids transmit HIV? \nThese body fluids have been shown to contain high concentrations of HIV: \n\nblood \nsemen \nvaginal fluid \nbreast milk \nother body fluids containing blood \nThe following are additional body fluids that may transmit the virus that health care workers may come into contact with: \n\nfluid surrounding the brain and the spinal cord \nfluid surrounding bone joints \nfluid surrounding an unborn baby \nHIV has been found in the saliva and tears of some persons living with HIV, but in very low quantities. It is important to understand that finding a small amount of HIV in a body fluid does not necessarily mean that HIV can be transmitted by that body fluid. HIV has not been recovered from the sweat of HIV-infected persons. Contact with saliva, tears, or sweat has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV. \n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/aids.html

you could get hiv if there infected.

No, mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS. This is because in order for it to transfer, it would have to stay alive inside the mosquito, but it's block by it's salivary glands, so it's like, killed. This is the way for them to survive. Any mosquito that sucks an HIV positive blood, would completely kill the virus so it doesn't harm themselves. Learned this today in Science! I'm so proud I learned something!

You contact HIV usually through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or blood transfusions, basically body fluids and open wounds.  Anyone is at risk for it because people who have it might not know at first and be spreading it to others, the stereotypes are usually hookers, gay people, drug users, street people but that's not really true because anyone can get it or be born with it, we just all like to think it won't happen to us.  Risky behaviors are unprotected sex, sharing needles, and open wounds that bleed and anyone else with an open wound touching something can pick up germs.  It depends on the person as to how long they live.  Some believe saliva can spread germs, others don't. I would just be all around careful if I was around someone I knew that could possibly be infected.

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.

If you are not intimate with this person and you do not do intravenous drugs together, there is no chance that you will get HIV/AIDS from just hanging around. This disease does not pass by casual contact. Please do not reject your friend because he is HIV+. Your fear is irrational.

Can I get HIV from oral sex? \nYes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. \n\nIf the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through \n\nthe lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis); \nthe lining of the vagina or cervix; \nthe lining of the anus; or \ndirectly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \nIf the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body. \n\nThe risk of HIV transmission increases \n\nif the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat; \nif the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or \nif the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV. \n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male, \n\nuse a latex condom on the penis; or \nif you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \nStudies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases." \n\nIf you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female, \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming), \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators, \n\neach partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and \nbe sure to clean sex toys between each use. \nIf you would like more information or have personal concerns, call CDC-INFO 24 Hours/Day at 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636), 1-888-232-6348 (TTY), in English, en Espaٌol. \n\nBut on the other hand reports say it is very minimal:\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1156

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.

There is no cure at this time for HIV.  The person can lead a relatively normal life, with the proper treatment.  Who knows, there may be a cure someday as well.

If the persons viral load is high then so are the chances of you getting  HIV. Now, If the persons viral load is low or undetectable there is less of a chance. I do NOT recommend taking the chance. It's a gamble also make sure this person is telling the truth Anyone can say there undetectable that don't mean it's true. If you want my advice,USE PROTECTION PLEASE

The aids virus is carried in the blood - it cannot live on the surface of things like doorknobs and walls.  It has to have the heat and other things in the blood.  So, just touching the same places that the person with aids does will not give you aids.\n\nIf, however, that person should have an accident and you or someone else needed to help them with a wound where they were bleeding (or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) you should do so only with rubber gloves.\n\nPlease don't worry so much.  It is not that easy to contract aids except through sexual contact or blood transfusions.
