IS HIV/Aids different among aults and children?
826801
Only in that children are already more susceptable to illnesses due to less mature immune systems already. Children with HIV are usually born with it, therefore are probably already suffering from the symptoms

My answer was inacurate, the two answers following however quoted an excellent article. To save others the effort I will put the link in here. This article does an excellent job explaining the origions of HIV and the few places I have checked to verify the information contained in the article have checked out.

Hi!!\n\n"HIV is the virus that may causes AIDS. HIV belongs to a subset of viruses called retroviruses or slow virus. \n\n\n \nThis is because it is a progressive disease. HIV is entered through the body through the mucous membranes or thru blood to blood contact. \n\n\nOnce you get the virus it slowly begins to attack the immune system, killing off healthy immune system cells. The deterioration and destruction of immune function leads to AIDS. \n\n\nAIDS is the final stage of the HIV infection. A person is said to have AIDS when the cd4 counts drops below 200 and or a person has 1 or more opportunistic infections. The OIs, as they are called, are normal infections that a healthy person would be able to fight off. \n\n\nThe four stages of the HIV infection are as follows: \n\n\n1) The period following infection is called the window. It is called this because it reflect the window of time between infection and that which antibodies are devlop in a person. The HIV test looks for antibodies not the virus. \n\n\n2) The second stage is called seroconversion. This is when the body begins to develop lots of antibodies to fight off the virus in the body. During this period a person may have flu like sympton. Also during this period is said to be very infectious. \n\n\n3) The third stage is called symptom free. During this period a person may have no sympton what so ever. This can last any where from 6 months to well over ten years. The medical world is not sure why some people are living sympton free for so long. \n\n\n4) The final stage is called AIDS. This is the period when TCELL drop to below 200 and the OI"S are present. \n\n\nSo, as we see, HIV is a infection that will leads to AIDS. \n\n\nThe body immune system is slowly being attacked until it is destroyed and can't fight off infections. Once this happens a person is said to have AIDS. AIDS is the final stage."\n\nI hope the above answers your question.\n\n>>> Naveen Kumar

If you want a number, you will have to narrow down the area you are talking about.  According to the following quote, you could say that of people aged 15-24 years old in Sub-Sahara Africa, about 6.5% have HIV (the most common form of STD).\n\n"Sub-Saharan Africa has just over 10% of the world’s population, but is home to more than 60% of all people living with HIV—25.8 million. In 2005, an estimated 3.2 million people in the region became newly infected, while 2.4 million adults and children died of AIDS. Among young people aged 15–24 years, an estimated 4.6% [4.2–5.5%] of women and 1.7% [1.3–2.2%] of men were living with HIV in 2005."

United States: The CDC estimates that in 1999 between 800,000 and 900,000 people were living with HIV or AIDS. Through December 2000, a total of 774,467 cases of AIDS had been reported to the CDC.\n\nWorldwide: Based on estimates from the United Nations AIDS program (UNAIDS), approximately 60 million people have been infected with HIV since the start of the global epidemic. At the end of 2001, an estimated 40 million people were living with HIV infection or AIDS.\n\nUNAIDS estimates 5.0 million new HIV infections occurred in 2001. This represents about 14,000 new cases per day. An estimated 3.0 million adults and children died of HIV/AIDS in 2001.

Nope, just in the unlikely situation that both kissing ends have oral ulcers that are bleeding, Otherwise no. AIDS is transmitted sexually, vertically( from mother to fetus),  by sharing needles used for drugs(most common in prisons), and by getting blood transfusion frim an infected donor.

Arthritis does not have anything to w/ std or aids. Aids is an immune deficiency and std is a disease as well. Arthritis is not a disease, as in you can't catch it from someone else, it's a deterioration of the joints.

Do you mean raise their own kids or adopt.Aids/HIV is not the death sentence it use to be.With all the research and new drugs people who are affected with this horrible disease now have a longer life expectancy.There is no reason just because they are ill that they can not raise a child.

It is possible, but for the most part, AIDS does not transfer from mother to child.

HIV and AIDS is treated the same across the United States.  Information is difficult to acquire as it is typically is discussed in very confusing medical terms.  There are 2 good places to start.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia has a website and they are the 'authority' on matters of infectious disease.  Wikipedia.com is also an excellent source of information which is easier to understand.

No TB is tuberculosis which is totally different from HIV.\nTuberculosis (commonly shortened to TB) is an infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system (meningitis), lymphatic system, circulatory system (Miliary tuberculosis), genitourinary system, bones and joints. Tuberculosis is one of the most deadly and common major infectious diseases today.\n\nHuman immunodeficiency virus, commonly known by the initialism HIV, is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

no.only fluid in the body contains hiv.but only fluid like semen or breastmilk contains enough hiv to make the non-hiv infected

HIV, Human Immunodeficiency Virus and AIDS, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome has been studied for the last 25 years. Lots is known about HIV, since AIDS is a syndrome, it is difficult to know everything about it. So, perhaps everything is not known but there are tons of credible information on both.

1.HIV/AIDS looks to be prominent among the gay community probably becoz this virus and the disease was first discovered in gays and was thought to infect only the gays,thus it was termed as a gay related disease but it is well know now that even hetrosexuals can get it if u sleep around with people without any protection.\n2.How we humans got it remains a mystery but scientists now belive that we got it from their bite or when man consumed bush meat.\n3.No America was not the first place,it just that this disease was first discoved in America in 1980's.It was know to have existed in Africa even earlier in the 1950's.

An HIV patient has the virus, but doesn't have the symptoms of AIDS yet, while in an AIDS patient the disease is already noticeable.

AIDS is no longer a gay disease. Trust westerners to be so incredibly insular in their understanding. More heterosexual people have AIDS on a global scale. It affects everyone and not just 'sexually immoral' people.
