This is not to scare you. I just want to know.
I'm going to go get tested soon. I found out that my friend had sex with a HIV infected person. Well thats what we heard. The person that told us though is a big lier. This is why i'm going to go get tested. How dose this effect me. I shared a drink with my friend before she told me this info. So, back to the question. What would you do if you found out that you had HIV or AIDS? Some info on this... Human immunodeficiency virus 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. aka.. spit in my case. HIV primarily infects vital components of the human immune system. HIV also directly attacks organs such as the kidneys, heart and brain, leading to acute renal failure, cardiomyopathy, dementia and encephalopathy. Many of the problems faced by people infected with HIV result from failure of the immune system to protect from opportunistic infections and cancers. aka.. Slow painfull death. Fun.. NOT! What would you do?

Well don't worry about it until you find the results. I have to get tested for skin cancer and I'm freaked out too, but I've quit worrying about it because it's in September >.< I'm sure you'll be fine. Besides, as far as I remember from school, you can't get infected with spit unless it's one galon or something.

It's just a good thing to do.QUOTE(sweetreat91 @ Jul 22 2006, 2:54 PM) if i found out... id end up really depressed, go through regret... but hopefully i will be optimistic, take my 90 pills a day, and hopefully ill try to live my life to the fullest. and kill the son of the bitch who gave me hiv. and thats what i would do. this is why we use protection. and watch what we do to just not do it with some random person. oh yeah its not safe sex, its safer sex, im just saying, even though no one mentioned it I didn't have sex.

QUOTE Non-Infectious Fluids Saliva—is NOT considered to be infectious. The only time saliva would pose a risk would be if it had blood present in it. There are no documented cases of HIV transmission through saliva. There is a protein in the mouth that attaches itself to the surface of blood cells and blocks infection by HIV that appears to be present in the mucous membrane in the mouth at a level sufficient enough to reduce the concentration of HIV in saliva to non-infectious levels. QUOTE HIV is not spread through saliva (spit). http://www.health.state.ny.us/diseases/aid...ransmission.htm http://www.mnaidsproject.org/learn/transmission.htm Would that help? |

I'd be shocked.
Then I'd ask where I got it. Then I'd be scared. |

I'd uhh find more infected people like me and make an "I am Infected with HIV/AIDs Club." And then together we will make a cure. They probably have stuff like that already.
