Take in account a hospital, one hiv infected person and one not. Ok, now the hiv infected person is spewing blood on the floor and 30 minutes later, the non hiv walks by, slips and crashes, causing lacerations. \n\nHIV cannot live outside of the body. Once the blood reaches cold, the virus will die, but do not even think that it is not possible. \n\nScratches will do nothing, sharing needles will. Having sex will, exchanging body fluids will, the only way is if during the scratching you bled and the HIV person bled into the same wound. If for chance that the person was bitten by the HIV person, a test is Mandatory because the Virus may have spread. \n\nOn the other note, blood is dangerous. Dry, wet, old, whatever, do not touch it without the proper protective items, i.e. latex gloves.\n\nExample of this is (1997, a man is shot in a convienence store. He died. Although HIV was not present the store owner died 2 years later from a different virus that travels in the blood stream)\n\nCool?

Not likely. First of all, HIV is not as easy to catch as everyone says, secondly, it's extremely fragile outside of its environment (the body) and dies very quickly.\n\n"HIV is a fragile virus requiring an environment of fluid and cells in order to remain alive and infectious. Outside of this environment, HIV will not survive."

Do you know anyone personally who has lived and died from HIV/AIDS?  I DO!  Not funny.... not funny at all.

Nope, if you're both HIV / AIDS negative there is a 0 chance you'll get infected... unless you involve a monkey somehow... or an infected person...

aids doesn't kill you but it distroys your immune system so youo can't fight off any diseases.

No! Where have you been for the past 25 years? HIV is a virus; you cannot cure a virus. There are treatments that can prolong your life if you are infected, but they don't always work for everyone. If you become infected, it is very unlikely that you will live out your normal lifespan, even if you have the drugs. And the drugs are too expensive for most people in the poorest countries where they have the highest rates of infection. There is no "cure" for AIDS!!!

There is much misconception about this.\nThe Human Immunodefeciency Virus, aka HIV is a virus (obviously) that infects humans, specifically recognising cd4 and cd8 receptors. \nAuto Immunodeficency Syndrom, aka AIDS, is a condition when you the amount of white blood cells in your blood drops below a certain level.\n\nHIV infections, in the latter stages, can lead to AIDS.\nBut other things can cause AIDS. AIDS is not only caused by HIV.\n\nOh, point of note - you don't die from HIV or AIDS. You actually die from a secondary infection, due to having AIDS. Feel free to contact me for more info.

HIV effects each and every person that has it different, if a person takes care of them self then it is possible that they will live a life time and never get AIDS it dose not always mean death.  I have been hiv+ for 13 years i am on a drug cocktail without the cocktail i would live for another 13 years with the cocktail i would say that old age would get me before the virus  would.

idk if you can with hiv or aids, but cancer yes, the only reason why hiv could be a problem, would be becuase your on the battle ground, and if youwere to get injured you could spread it becuase ppl around aren't covered or prapared for it, so you'd unknownly be sprading it, and i dont think that you want to do that, teehee

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.

Misconceptions about HIV?\n\n1. It is communicable in any form. \n\nHIV is only picked up through exchange of bodily fluid (mucus membane {such as the mouth} or via an open wound).\n\n2. Someone with HIV will die quickly.\n\nWith the development of medications, HIV is kept at bay. Usually, as long as the person is free from an active illness, that person can have a fairly healthy life.

Well, I think if you're still here, then somebody's doing something right, but that's really a question you should be asking a doctor, doll.\nUnfortunately, I am not familiar with the specifics of HIV or AIDS.  What I do know is that HIV can lead to AIDS, which stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.\nA deficient immune system is what would keep you from getting better if you did get sick, and would obviously be more likely to result in death.\nSo aside from the HIV-AIDS link there, I don't know what to tell you except ask a doc.
