Can you get Aids from having one sexual partner?

Yes. people can get aids from other stuff like using a dirty needle when getting a tatoo, or you can also get crabs from a toilet seat in a gas station bathroom. Anyway lets say your boyfriend gets aids from one of those non-sexual ways, then when he has sex with you, you will get Aids. It's always a good idea to get checked at your local clinic every now and then (I do it every month)to see if you got Aids or any other STD. I say this because 1/3 of the people you have an STD, don't even know they got it.

Yes- there are many std's and diseases that can be transmitted this way, including AIDS

The person infected may only be a carrier and never get AIDS.  If you think you have HIV, go to your local clinic and get tested.  If you have HIV and believe it is in the stages of AIDS, again go to your local clinic/hospital and get tested.  Until then, don't have sex unless it is protected sex, cause you can pass the virus on to your partner.  If you don't tell them you are HIV infected and know you are, you can be charged with attempted murder, if it's unprotected sex, last time I heard.

Herpes is the big one. The only way you can gets aids from an oral transfer is if you have any sores in your mouth, on your lips,gums, tongue, etc. His infected fluids have to get into your bloodstream directly to infect you with aids.  You should not be giving oral sex to someone if you have the slightest suspicion they have something. They may look perfectly 'clean' and normal and still be carrying something. Take care of yourself.

Honestly it's NOT hard to contract HIV.  Unprotected sex with anyone spreads it.  ALWAYS use protection.  If you have a partner who is against it---get another partner.  You can get it from any body fluid swapping.  Harder to get it kissing, but it is a possibility.  Much more likely to get it from sex.  \n\nAll bodily fluids die quickly once outside the body.  You can't get anything even if you rub an old bloody towel on your genitals.  Of course, that's just gross.

First of all, you can't get AIDS... you can get HIV, which destroys your immune system over time and once that immune system is obliterated you are now considered AIDS positive. So, to answer your politically correct question: You CANNOT get HIV by kissing, transfering saliva, etc. You can get it by sharing needles during drug use, etc., having unprotected and sometimes even protected sex, crossing blood with an HIV+.

Okay...gay people aren't "prone" to AIDS.\n\nAIDS is passed through the exchange of bodily fluids.\n\nIt is very common to exchange bodily fluids during ana1 sex, as this often involves tearing of the tissues.  Therefore, ana1 sex is considered high-risk (along with sharing needles and such).\n\nHomosexuals do not necessarily have more partners than do heterosexuals (in fact studies show quite the opposite).

On any single encounter with an infected partner, the risk is high, but not 100%. Multiple encounters increase the risk of transmission substantially.\n\nContrary to popular belief, HIV is actually quite difficult to catch. It is about 5000 times more difficult to contract than Hepatitis C for example (another sexually transmitted disease).\n\nYou should always use a condom if you want to avoid risk; you cannot rely on a person knowing their status. You don't know your status right now do you? And it takes several years for AIDs to develop, so often people feel and appear completely healthy while being infectious.\n\nThe chance of transmission varies with the time that the person has been infected. In the early stages they can be very infectious (before there are any signs). They wil become less infectious after a while and if they are on a therapy, they may reduce their viral load so as to be imperceptable. This doesn't mean you cannot catch it from them but the chances are reduced.\n\nThere is nothing you can do at this time except wait, and do not have unprotected sex with anyone else. Get your first test in three months time, and a further test after six months. If both are clear, you should be OK.

No! Not HIV / AIDS and not chlamydia and lots of others.\nBeware my friend. There is a good chance of catching a disease if you go sleeping around

It's not as likely, but yes, 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.\nRead this article: \nhttp://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/faq/faq19.htm

Nope,\nYou can only get HIV through blood, including blood transfusion, and sex (anal, oral, and vaginal).  If you are a heroine user and you shoot up the drug through a needle, and you have HIV virus, and someone else uses that same needle they can also contract the virus as well.  Those are the only ways.

that is EXACTLY how you get AIDS.  If you got AIDS you will have the virus in your blood and be able to infect others immediately, but you will not TEST positive for AIDS for 3 months or more, sometimes up to a year.  So if you just did something foolish, please don't spread it around!  get celibate and get tested in a few months.

The only way for you to get hiv is through the following:\n\n1. Sexual contact with an infected person\n2. Sharing of injection needles\n3. Blood transfusion\n\nThere is very little or no chance of you getting hiv from the bite of an hiv-infected person. What you may get, however, is rabies if he has the rabies virus.

Anal sex  still has the highest probability of transmitting aids and your chances are 100% if you  have this type of sex with an infected partner.  Vaginal sex would come in second and is also a one shot deal if your are engaging in the behavior unprotected with an infected partner.  Oral sex is not much better.  Just be careful who you choose to share your body with and don't be afraid to require they get tested for HIV and show you proof before you engage in any type of sexual act.  A partner who is put offf by that kind of request in this day and age is not a partner you should want to be with in the first place.

There are a few STDs such as papillomavirus (warts) and herpes that you can easily acquire by oral contact.  While Hiv has been isolated from saliva, I have never heard of a case of someone getting it from making out.  I would only worry about that if you or the person you made out with had any open sores in your mouth or bad gingivitis (bleedy gums).  As AIDS is a syndrome resulting from HIV infection, all of the above applies to that.  My suggestion, be careful who you make out with, but don't worry.  Herpes and warts are treatable, and it is VERY unlikely you would get HIV from making out.  What a lot of people don't know though is that you can get HIV from oral sex!  So be careful!!!!

Possibly. If the person giving you a blow job has a small cut or sore in their mouth, and you have a cut or sore on your penis then you can get HIV, not AIDS. AIDS develops from contracting HIV. HIV can only be spread from blood to blood contact. It's always best to protect yourself.

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.
