What would you do if you found out that you have HIV or AIDS, ? Options

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.

[marzipan]

i wouldn't worry just yet.


well, if i found out i had HIV/AIDS, i would be extremely worried and scared. it scares me just to think about it....i mean, how else would anyone feel?

[AngelinaTaylor]

^ Um she didn't get it through sex. Read the entire thread.

A gallon!?!?! O im good. Hahaha. I'm still going to get tested for STD's and HIV. It's just a good thing to do.

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. O_o

[_sarcastic_]

i'd probably go into depression
and yeah hunt that person who gave me hiv down and beat him up.
well don't worry too much about it, i dont think you can get hiv from sharing a drink

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.

HIV is not spread through saliva (spit).

Would that help?

[pinacoolada]

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

Give it to James.

[jue]

I'd be woahh scared. And then probably stay away from my friends for a while.

[Jeng]

OMG SHELBY, I HOPE YOU ODNT HAVE IT OMG.id be scared and keep myself from passing it to other people, and be scared

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

Yeah, I am still going to get tested its a good thing to do.

[danginja]

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.
