Q:
Should people with hiv/Aids be quarantine?
A: no but they should wear a tag that says so. No, I think not. That makes hiv+ people sound like rats for a study. As that is a terrible label and act to do because of people with hiv+. If anything, I think the ones that rape/sexually assault their victims should be quarantine immediately after a police report. As such in my case, I am terrified now because I was a victim of a rape, and the pain and suffering I am going thru for past months whether to find out if I may had been exposed to hiv breaks my heart to the...

Q:
Why do people judge people with hiv/AIDS and do not judge other people with chronic illnesses?
A: people with mental disorders carry a stigma too, I don''t know how to change it. Perhaps the more we talk about it, and the more educated people are, will make people understand, and have more compassion. Tell that BS story to those who suffer from LEPROSY. Most people associate hiv/AIDS with bad personal decisions. This is true except for those who contracted the virus from blood transfusions, but now those are very rare. there are other diseases that face the same...

Q:
What it be a good idea if people with hiv had to get a tatoo?
A: You are a Nazi. It is bad enough the useless tests band you for life under the new disclosure laws.

Q:
why do people have hiv and they don
A: This is an extremely complex issue. It is so easy to judge when you are on the other side of the fence. It is always important to notify a sexual partner that you are hiv positive, even when practicing safe sex. the problem is that it is not so black and white when you are positive. hiv positive people live in fear of rejection. You tend to take things slowly, trying to find the courage to take that next important step before sexual activity begins. Your mind begins to scan through all the possible outcomes, which makes the fear worse. For some...

Q:
Why not tattoo people who are discovered to have AIDS/hiv?
A: It is a very practical idea, but would not be very popular. That''s a horrible thought! We don''t brand an "A" on adulterers, and we don''t tatoo people who have diseases that are killing them. Where do you suppose the tatoos would end? how about people who have herpes? how about schitzophrenics? how about late risers? I hope you have heard of the halocaust, because that would be a way to open up a new one. I''m so sorry you feel this way. It must be lonely. Just to correct you, schizophrenia is not a...

Q:
Why do some men / women who have hiv/Aids knowingly sleep around and infect others?
A: hiv/AIDS has never been scientifically proven to cause deterioration of the imune system, or for that matter death, Look it up if you dont believe me. Maybe these people know that and truly believe it, maybe they dont and are spreading the disease just for the simple fact that they arebitter that they themselves were infected that way, Who really knows? In my honest opinion, and I am not a doctor, nor do I have to be, but hiv/AIDS is a governmental population control. Believe me or not,

Q:
Is there really a cure for hiv/AIDS and if there is why is they so scared to give introduce to the world?
A: there is no cure for hiv. there are many medications to treat the disease, but patients must take them as prescribed. Now-a-days, AIDS patients must be on at least 3 drugs for their regimines to be effective. If they stop taking one, and the virus grows, the whole regimen is lost to drug-resistance and they must start over with 3 diff drugs. If regimines are followed correctly, you can acheive an undetectable viral load. While this is great, it is not a cure and resistance may still develop in time.
