Can HIV/AIDS be contracted thru small amount of contact

Can HIV/AIDS be contracted thru small amount of contact?
If a man were to go inside a females vagina for a small amount of time and the women had a very small amount of vaginal fluid, could he still be infected with the HIV/AIDS virus if she is positive? Is there a higher risk for women to contract than men?

1 :
Any bodily fluids.
2 :
yes to both questions women have bigger surface area so possible in men any injury on genitals can cause it
3 :
Condom or not, there is a possibility the guy may be infected with the HIV virus, but the only way to find out for sure is to get tested. Also, HIV tests will not detect the virus if the "sexual encounter" just occured, so it may be a good idea to wait a month or so to get tested. In the meantime, check with your physican or your local AIDS foundation for HIV/STD tests. Take care.
4 :
Absolutely, and there is no difference whether you are male or female for contracting aids.
5 :
Yes, exposure to vaginal fluid is how HIV is transmitted. call 1-800-342 AIDS, thats the National HIV & STD hotline. They will tell you where to get tested for free.
6 :
AIDS can only be 'caught' if there has been a transfer of bodily fluids. thats vaginal juices, semen or blood mostly. aparently u would have to drink a gallon of someones saliva to catch aids via saliva, so there isnt much change of getting aids from kissing! both women and men are equally likely to catch aids.....it doesnt seem to prefer either sex.
7 :
There must be a break of sorts. If there was no bleeding invovled and only a small amount of vaginal fluid the answer is no. There must be a lot of vaginal fluid present or if she torn during intercourse adn he had a cut and blood got through it is possible. However, if is unlikely in the situation you are describing.

1 :
Aids can be transmitted through 4 bodily fluids: Breast Milk, Blood, Semen, and Vaginal Fluid. It usually enters the body in small cuts during intercourse or with a used needle. It is important to make sure your partners and you get tested for it and use protection. Also if your using a needle for drugs make sure it is sterilized/one-use.
2 :
HIV is not transmitted by casual contact,or even the close,nonsexual contact that normally occurs at work,in school,or at home. Transmission requires contact with bodily fluids containing infected cells or plasma. HIV may be in any fluid or exudate that contains plasma or lymphocytes,specifically blood,semen,vaginal secretions ,breast milk or saliva. However,transmission by the products of sneezing or coughing has not been documented Infected cells can reach new hosts via blood tranfusion,accidental injection,or through mucous membrane exposure,such as dentistry. Sudies suggest that sexual transmission is more likely in the presence of Sexual Transmitted Disease (STD'S) You need a good library if you are going to go anywhere in life.

Google it and then you'll know.
2 :
urine backs up into the aeorta
3 :
Women get small tears in the vagina during sex, there is no way to prevent it, it will happen. Small amounts of blood in body fluids help transfer the virus... it much harder to transfer from woman to man tho.
4 :
AIDS is a hoax...go to google video and watch - AIDS Hoax-Ten reasons HIV is not the cause of AIDS http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=aids
5 :
Sperm is a blood derivative. If there is an infection in the blood, it can get transferred over though contact.
6 :
by having un protected sex with an infected person
7 :
unprotected sex

Can you get HIV/AIDS from fishing hooks

Can you get HIV/AIDS from fishing hooks?
Serious question here... I was touching some unpackaged jig head hooks at a local sporting good store. I accidentally poked myself with one of those hooks ( people touch all of the time). Is is possible to be infected with HIV/Aids from that?

1 :
No. HIV doesn't live very long outside the body.. so you are okay.
2 :
if there was blood on it, then yes....but i dont think you would touch it if it had blood...there are only three was to get HIV: sex, sharing blood (transfusion) and sharing needles (drugs)....so, if there was no blood on the hook, youre fine....plus, even if there was blood on it, theres less than a 1 percent chance the blood on it carries HIV...so, yes, its totally fine
3 :
only if some else had managed to cut their skin and draw blood on the very same hook who were hiv + within 24 hours of you cutting your finger and so, having blood to blood contact with the live virus. HIV can only live outside the body for about 24 hours. I thinbk its so unlikely that you could have contracted hiv from that i reckon its more likely that the wooly mammoth still lives, however, not to worry you but hepatitis C can live out of the body for 3 months but i still think the liklihood of someone with hep C pricking thier finger on that same hook out of how many?! .. is extremely extremely unlikely and you're far more likely to crash into a fallen tree tmrw and die. If you are concerned then to put your mind at rest in 3 months time go and get screened- no point in getting screened before then since it takes around 12 weeks for either virus's to become detectable, unless you are concerned you may have contracted it from something else before.
4 :
No. Once HIV is outside the body, exposed to air, it dies within a few minutes.
5 :
Quite unlikely. But it's possible.

If someone has AIDS or HIV do they legally have to tell you if they found out after they had sex with you

If someone has AIDS or HIV do they legally have to tell you if they found out after they had sex with you?
If someone were to have sex with me and they had HIV/AIDS, and we never spoke again but have ways of contacting each other, and she were to find out she had HIV/AIDS, would she have to tell me?

No, only if they knew before you had sex. It's common courtesy but the law is still pretty unclear about that.
2 :
legally no they wouldn't have to tell you, Doctors recommend that you inform your past lovers if you have had any STDs but this is not mandatory

They should tell you and you can sue them and they can do jail time if you contract HIV from them and they knew they had it and didn't inform you of it before you engaged in sexual intercourse. There is a current court case with a celebrity on this matter as well. I forgot her name, but it is recent.

Is it okay for HIV/AIDS women to bring children into the world

Is it okay for HIV/AIDS women to bring children into the world?
Do you know someone who's done this? Should there be a law passed to prevent the purposeful spread of this disease? Why would this be okay? Why would this NOT be okay? Even if there was a tiny chance that baby could be infected would you actually do it???

1 :
who are we to tell people they cannot have kids? it's a free world last i heard. of course, if i had HIV or AIDS, i wouldn't bring a child into this world for fear of infection. are you writing a paper on this?
2 :
Ethically would you put any child in a situation where they had a 1 in 400 chance of death? HIV/AIDS infected children have very little chance of living past the age of sexual maturity. I personally would not make it illegal, but Why put someone through that for your personal needs.
3 :
Morally, it's not a good idea, of course. Although there may be exceptions there because some of these women may have been raped. But if a person knows that the other person has HIV/AIDS and does it willingly anyway, that's wrong. But it's still not against the law at this point. Maybe that'll change.
4 :
if they are already pregnant i'd say there isn't much you can do about it. but to intentionally get pregnant is selfish on their part. you are bringing a child into the world with a terminal disease which i think is most unfair. plus the odds of passing the disease to the child too great. no i think it should be discouraged.
5 :
One reason it's okay is because children born to HIV infected mothers have a pretty low chance of being born with HIV. It's usually less than 1 in 20 when the woman takes proper HIV medications, delivers the baby via c-section, and doesn't breastfeed. On top of that, HIV simply isn't a death sentence anymore. I have a friend who is 23 years old and was born with HIV. She's healthy and active and living a perfectly normal life. If you want to argue that we shouldn't let people have children who have "even a tiny chance" of being born with a chronic disease, most people wouldn't be allowed to have children, because most of us have at least one gene that could result in disease, disability, or other conditions.

there are drugs the mother can take that keep her baby from acquiring the HIV.
2 :
I don't know anybody who has done that. To me that is sick. Why would you bring a child into the world; knowing he/she might have AIDS. That's so unfair to the child. Just imagine what that child would go through. This is depressing even talking about it.
3 :
The first responder is correct, their are drugs to treat this. The problem is that those drugs cost $2,000 -10,000 per month. Can the average person afford this? What will be the fate of the child if the contract HIV? Their whole life on drugs (10 years?) at say $2,000 per month 12 months a year ($120,000 per year just for the drugs conservatively)? Do we have the right to make a child go through that kind of life? What will happen when the child's mother eventually succomes to HIV? How old will that child be (5? 10?)? This is very precarious moral ground. I woudl be in favor of sterilization of anyone who has AIDS/HIV for the public good. This woudl not be popular, but what are the alternatives? If it were me personally, I woudl not subject my child to a lifetime of such horror. I am not in favor of abortion, but in this case it may be the more merciful thing to do. This is a very tough choice. Unfortunately, I have some experience with a similar choice. I had to make the choice as to the level of care for my own child who was shaken nearly to death some 5 months ago by her babysitter. At one point I had to make the choice to put a Do Not Resusitate on my own 15 1/2 month old child and ok organ donation protocols for her. I know a thing or two about such tough choices. They are not easy to make. Sometime the choice must be to end a child's suffering before it becomes too much. I, as a father, cannot understand making a child suffer. Bringing a child into this world with a mother who is HIV positive and their being a high likelyhood that the child will also be HIV positive is a choice I wound not make. I could not subject a child to that kind of life. Could you?
