Ummm...no then u jst spreadin it.
2 :
dude if you already have it they are so other people don't get HIV/AIDS
3 :
Yes, you can be charged with attempted murder.
4 :
Of course there's a point to condoms. if your sexually active with various partners, you dont want to spread AIDS onto them do you? i guess it might be ok if your married an you both have AIDS but if you have sex with other people you will pass it onto them.
5 :
now you have to make sure not to spread it to anyone else....USE A CONDOM and you can get them for free at a health department or free clinic
6 :
No, you can't spell stud without STD
7 :
Pffft. How about to protect your sexual partner? Not that you should be sexually active in the first place if you are HIV positive (unless your partner is also HIV positive and aware that you are - and in that case, you should still protect yourself since people with HIV/AIDS have compromised immune systems and are susceptible to serious complications from all types of other infections). And I answered seriously despite the fact that I suspect you are a troll. Come on, dude.
8 :
Everyone else forgot to mention that condoms also prevent PREGNANCY... So unless you want to give some girl AIDS, and have a baby who would possibly be infected with AIDS, I'd say keep it wrapped up. P.S. Don't be a cheap ass. If you are THAT selfish to where you would risk giving someone AIDS just to save 8 bucks, you don't deserve to be with anyone.
9 :
You need to wear them so you don't infect another person.
10 :
to prevent more people from getting it
11 :
You NEED to wear a condom to ensure the world that you DON'T procreate! PLEASE wear one.. i don't think I would be able to handle more ppl such as yourself running around here. U know.. guns are for ppl like you... so be careful, u spread it to someone... dont be surprised if she comes back at you with a big gun..hahahahahahahaha
12 :
while u may not care about spreading ur aids to every girl in the world, they do. no one wants u blowing ur aids every which way around the block u fucken inconsiderate asshole

nooooooo!!!!! that should not stop you whatsoever.. you are trained as a nurse the best procedures to take care of urself... remember becoming a nurse is what will give u the opportunity to help others... in a safe way.. .so ull def be ok... and dont doubt about becoming a nurse... it is awesome to feel how other are grateful when u have done something for them.. but dont become a nurse just because you will get pay good.. become a nurse because ull feel u can do so much for others who are hiv/aid/hepatitis positive and many many other diseases.. cuz remember youll have to treat everyone the same way.... but always following the procedures u are very well teach in school.. :)
2 :
definately not!! i am going to start training as a doctor in september, but i think as long as you are careful ie wearing gloves etc when examining patients then you will be fine! you cant contract hiv from skin contact or even through saliva(unless you drink a pint or something stupid!!). if you want to be a nurse then dont let anything stand in your way because it is such a rewarding job and you are helping to save lives!!
3 :
It isn't stopping me. I know what you mean though. Iam going to start my clinical hours for Phlebotomy (eventually will be a nurse too) and I am so scared I will get poked by the needle. But you know they are always making safer and safer needles that can minimize the risk. In Phlebotomy class, they showed us one needle that when you are done, you push a button and the needle withdrawals and is pulled in so it will not poke you. But you know what AIDS is really less likely to catch from a needle because the virus is really fragile and dies very wuickly after leaving the body. I believe we learned only 0.3% of health care workers poked by a needle catch HIV. Hepatitis C is something to worry about though. I believe that was something like 3-7%. You just have to be really careful and I think in time your fear will lessen as you get really good. Its when you are too nervous or too cocky that most accidents happen and sometimes patients can jump, but I think you will be fine.

How does society see you when you have HIV/AIDS

How does society see you when you have HIV/AIDS?

1 :
they see you as a dirty whore.
2 :
ditry
3 :
Well as you can see alot of the society doesnt accept it and are really rude about it but thats because they are not properly educated on the disease. You can catch it your first time having sex OR through blood that you didnt have any control over. It doesnt make you dirty or any word that people have been saying on here. The society is a very rude uneducated bunch and its not fair to assume someone is dirty. People can be raped and come out with this disease and they had no say in it what so ever. An educated person would know and accept the person with HIV/ Aids. Anyone with HIV should seek and follow through with treatment to prevent Aids.
4 :
Well it depends on the society itself meaning how they view AIDS as a topic... Some people in some society may not always accept AIDS as a topic while others understand what it is all about. But if educated i think everyone should respect an HIV/AIDS person.
5 :
Society looks down upon that which is odd to me because society is influencing promiscuous activity.
6 :
Normally no problem

100% of us are _affected_ by HIV/AIDS, even if we don't have it. the US CDC estimates that about 1.1 million people in the US are infected with HIV. that means about 0.3%, or 3/1000 are infected. the WHO estimates that about 33 million people in the world are infected with HIV. that means 0.5% or 5/1000 are infected worldwide.

Yes, if the person you slept with was a carrier of both diseases at the time. But chlamydia does not cause HIV.
2 :
Yes you can catch both--- but one does not cause the other--- get tested! ANSWERer # 1 said it perfectly~
3 :
Anytime you have another STD, it makes you more susceptible to catching HIV.

Why is HIV/AIDS information more sensitive than any other health condition

Why is HIV/AIDS information more sensitive than any other health condition?

STDs - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
HIV information is so sensitive because of the stigma associated with having the disease. Years ago, when HIV was a death sentence and there was little known about the ways in which it was spread, laws were established to make HIV medical information and the confidentiality surrounding it very strict. This was done to help protect those who suffer with the disease from suffering from discrimination which has been very severe in the past.
2 :
HIV/AIDS is a new condition yet it is very old. Over two decades down the road, people have deliberately failed to accept reality. HIV information is more or less like the scripture. It is ever old yet ever new. people will need to listen to the same thing several times before they change behavior. From the fact that HIV is mainly attributed to bad sexual practices and that sexual needs like other needs are insatiable. The continuous need that is never satisfied makes the hearer guilty of making the same mistakes time and again. At some point in time, people become complacent to the information and they end up opening both ears so that whatever information that comes in, exits through the other ear.

What percent do condoms give against pregnancy, HIV,AIDS

What percent do condoms give against pregnancy, HIV,AIDS?
im abstinence, but idk if this is right. My health teacher say they are only 25% but others say they are 85%... what the right answer?
STDs - 4 Answers

1 :
A condom is effective (most current studies) about 88% of the time. This is on average. They are almost 98% effective if they are used correctly every time a person has sexual intercourse.This of course allows for a condom breaking, which can occur.
2 :
Between 25 and 70 percent effective against getting pregnamt or an std according to studies. That is why it is recomended using a spermicide gel with the condome. That makes the percentage a little higher.
3 :
From what I have read, they can be up to 98% effective against the transmission of fluids if used carefully and correctly, but as little as 70-75% effective if used carelessly.
4 :
depends on what type of condom your using the % changes. Non-latex condoms dont actually effectively protect against HIV as the virus can get through the walls of them and should only be used for contraceptive purposes. Other condoms will protect you against HIV and pregnancy when you use them correctly, and using most condoms for anal sex is actually inadviseable as they are more likely to tear in this sort of situation!
