1 :
If the woman has it, she can transmit it to the baby via the breast milk, dont do it!
2 :
the HIV(AIDS) will transmit to baby through the milk,it is considered a body fluid.so will the meds that the mom takes for treatment,robin
3 :
the baby can get HIV.
4 :
she shouldn't feed the baby with her breast milk because she can pass it thru the milk!!!
5 :
breast feeding in the hiv positive mother is a contraversial issue.so also the risk of feeding the baby with infant formulas artificially.artificial formulas do not carry adequate nutrients and there is 6 fold increase inthe risk of diarrhea and death in infants.in hiv positive mother ther is 14 % increase risk of transsmission to the child the hiv virus.but there are reports that giving the mother antiretroviral treatment in the last months of pregnancy and during feedin reduce the risk of transmission.other method considered is expressing the human milk and the feeding it to the baby after boiling it.it is better than the artificial formula but still not natural equivalent.

Add "An Early Frost" to your list and "Cover" is good as well.
2 :
Another good movie would be "And the Band Played On". It discusses the early days of the HIV/AIDS outbreak, from the societial as well as scientific point of view.
3 :
Kids and Philadelphia are both great movies.
4 :
And The Band Played On is the best movie I have seen on the subject of AIDs.
5 :
Life Support and it is fairly new awesome movie

Sorry, but you're going to have to do a bit of work for your report! The UN, through WHO (World Health Organisation) produces infection rates around the world. For Sub-Saharan Africa, you can probably assume, for the purposes of the report, that the whole population is black (not true but close) so the maths are simple. In other countries, you may need to work out the percentage of blacks in the population but assume a uniform infection rate (again not true but may be good enough) - check the CIA factbook website for demographics as a start and in still other countries you may need to find the infection rate amongst blacks as well as the percentage of blacks in the country (check individual ministries of health or disease centres specific to each country). There's a reason they call it homeWORK, you know...

If you have anemia does that mean that you have HIV/AIDS

If you have anemia does that mean that you have HIV/AIDS?
my girlfriend said that she had anemia but she didnt say that she had aids or hiv. what would happen if i kissed her(on the lips)? is it possible to have anemia without having hiv/aids?

1 :
anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells, it's not aids.
2 :
Anemia has NOTHING to do with AIDS. It means you have low iron in your blood and most of the time it is from a bad diet which doesn't include enough healthy foods or it is from dieting too hard (anorexia) or it can simply be genetic. Lots of northern Europeans have trouble with anemia. It is totally no big deal unless it is pernicious anemia which is still not contagious but can be very life threatening.
3 :
Noooooooooooooooooooo, no, no, no, no. Anemia DOES NOT mean she has HIV or any other disease of the blood. What she has is not contagious to you. It means that she has a lower than normal red blood cell account. For more information check out the link below. https://www.mayoclinic.com/health/anemia/DS00321
4 :
Yes, she could have anemia without having HIV/AIDS. Has she been tested for HIV/AIDS? Have you? It supposed to be a simple test. Go to the health department in your city or county.
5 :
Hi Leon, Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin is less than normal. The normal level of hemoglobin is generally different in males and females. A proper blood test is the only way that you can know if she has HIV/AIDS. If you don't want to do that then you must check if she has the symptoms. If you are in a hurry to get all the information in one place quickly, then I recommend a book called '100 Facts About Aids in India'. Although the book has many India specific references, the general information on HIV/Aids is very good. Some of the information in this guide includes - 1. Basic Information 2. Transmission 3. Testing of HIV & Aids 4. Risk Reduction 5. Diagnosis & Treatment of HIV & Aids 6. HIV & Aids in Children & Youth etc... Link to book website - http://aidsawareness.in

The only non-gay people who are known to suffer from AIDS are generally Black people.
2 :
Now i'm lgbt and have and from a medical background, it is far far easier to contract HIV when having anal sex as the walls of the intestine tair easily. Now this applies to heterosexual intercourse and homosexual intercourse. Now homosexual intercourse being primarily what it is, there are far higher chances of getting HIV but it is definetely not a gay disease and is more prominent in the heterosexual community
