A: no it is not a type of cancer it is a disease not-related to cancer HIV is an immune supressing virus - not a cancer although it often leads to Kaposi Syndrome which is a form of cancer. When the viral lode reaches a high level and other things occur because of that one is said to have AIDS but they are just 2 stages of the same thing. We''re still learning about this terrible disease but that''s the best current explanation. HIV turns into AIDS,which is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus.It kills and impairs cells of the immune system,HIV progressively destroys the body ability to fight infections and certain cancers. cancer is a...

A: There are numerous connections between hepatitis C and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), but distinctions between the two viruses must also be understood. These are separate viruses; hepatitis C principally attacks the liver, and HIV can have a systemic effect. In certain populations, such as among intravenous drug users or people with blood diseases that require frequent blood products, the two viruses may occur together often. In other populations, such as the population of HIV infected men who contracted HIV through homosexual sexual activity, the risk of also contracting hepatitis C is approximately the same as for heterosexual males with the virus. Another important connection involves what occurs when these viruses are concomitant.....

A: All you need to know is, if you have it, you''re completely f...ked - ok! HIV is the disease that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Essentially, AIDS is a condition that eats away at your immune system until you can no longer fight off infection, ultimately ending in death. What is HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)? HIV simply means that you have tested positive for the virus. It does not become AIDS usually for ten years or until immune system problems appear. Although you may feel well you are still infected with a virus that is fatal and you can pass this disease on to other through several means. There is medication to help slow the progression of the disease but there is no medication to eradicate this disease. ·...

A: Mandatory HIV testing is HIV testing which is mandated by law. There are a number of laws around the world which are designed to compel people to take HIV tests, ranging from laws which are meant to prevent the spread of the virus to newborns to discriminatory laws which are designed to exclude people with HIV from particular countries. The practice of mandatory HIV testing is extremely controversial, and it continues to be a topic of debate. In an HIV test, a sample is taken from someone''s blood or cheek, and tested to determine whether or not antibodies to HIV are present. It is also possible to look for viral RNA which can betray the presence of the virus in the blood even if the patient...

A: nnnoooo. gross ohh GOD!... I dont have that!.ur sick and its serious..............u have to see a doctor dont be ashame...its a curable, u just need to take a antibactirial infection..a strong abx that can kills bactiria.... next time use rubbers to prevent HIV.. no i dont,but theres alot of people out here in this world that does.and alot of people that dont even know they have it. adi im sorry to hear this but since your so young and if you dont mind me asking how did you contract it? Hi Adi, No I don''t, but my cousin is living with this and it''s been a hard journey for him. He thinks he may have been infected with it at a tatoo party. He went on a crazy spell...

A: So you can stay alive . Don''t worry about get test . The DR can try to keep you alive. My friend got sick one day. Less than 3 months later he was dead. AIDS. If he had gone back for the follow-up test 12 years ago he would still be with me. If you don''t care enough about yourself to get tested then at least think about the people that are going to hurt for years after you die. You can do something about it. Get tested and if you are positive get on your meds. You can live a long, long time. There is absolutely no way to know unless you test. well differant between life and death fool HIV is contagious, so at the very least, you need to know if you have it so you...

A: aids doesnt kill you, its the medicine that kills you. the same thing has been said about cancer, so maybe. it is all about money. the main drug prescribed for aids patients is AZT. most people die from AZT not aids. isnt it funny that no one get sick until they are told they have aids? Did any discovery for a cure?or we are still trying to spend for never ending researches? The best thing in my opinion is while we are trying to get funds to finance the research people should also try their best to help prevent the spread of the disease,We still don''t have the cure,like cancer we are engage in trial and error,it is sad to say that we have the heart but do we have...

A: just curious- why in the world would you want to risk it? its more likely than not the child will have hiv, and then what happens when the parents end up with full blown aids and dies? then the child is left to the care of the state, while having major health problems. i don''t think that would be the brightest idea. yes..its possible but dont risk the child''s life.. its not necessary to make a life miserable.. YES if both parents have HIV they have about a 99% chance of have and HIV infected child Of course but there is medicine that the mother can take when she is pregnant so that the child will be born without it. But I wouldn''t try. Even though both people have HIV, they can have a different strain/type and...

A: No.... nope.

Sharing and reusing syringes contaminated with HIV-infected blood represents a major risk for infection with not only HIV, but also hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Needle sharing is the...

A: Be positive! It can take up to 7 years for your body to show signs but it usually will only take about 4. if u had intercourse with an infected person then you have a 100% chance of getting it! And as far as your blood signs are showing itself negative you ain''t gotta worry! Normally as soon as the virus enters the body blood tests will show positive within an hour or it depends with the viruses multiplying rate. I think you are safe. Hi there, There is a "window period" which is the time it takes the body to produce antibodies after HIV infection has begun. For the vast majority of those who will test positive, antibodies to HIV will develop within 4-6 weeks after exposure. Some...
