Can you develop HIV / AIDS just from believing you might have it

Can you develop HIV / AIDS just from believing you might have it?
This might be a stupid question, but I heard somewhere that if you really believe you are HIV+ (when you aren't), your body can actually develop it by itself. Is this true? I'm just curious...

I don't believe that, since it's not an airborne disease.

no

No sleeping with an infected person causes aids
4 :
No, the HIV virus is present in blood and body secretions (ie, seminal fluid), you cannot 'think yourself infected', you need direct invasive contact with an infected person to contract the virus. xx
5 :
Yes, this is true about AIDS and also a number of other diseases. Many studies have been done linking a number of cancers being spread by the mere thought of them. A case study in England asked patients to concentrate on a particular illness over a 6 week period, and 35% of the participants actually contracted that illness. It is interesting to note that 6% of the patients contracted the illness of the person sitting next to them, just because they knew it was contagious. The mind is a very powerful organ that can regulate the output of antibodies and antitoxins used to fight various diseases. If the mind is conditioned to such an extent that it firmly believes it has a disease then it is a very real possibility that that disease will manifest itself. I hope this information is helpful.

Until we can figure out a way to change human nature, nothing much we come up with is likely to work. There is already a method to prevent the transmission of the disease, but it requires folks to abstain or stay faithful to one clean partner. I doubt a vaccination is likely to be successful, since we can't even manage to get all the kids in the world a simple measles shot- we aren't much more likely to get them all vaccinated for HIV either. That of course hinges on a vaccine even being developed, which so far has eluded us. There are still only a few medications that are useful against viruses, and those still depend on having an otherwise healthy immune system. Since HIV attacks the immune system, overcoming it to develop a preventative- little alone a cure, is just not highly probable. The best I think we can hope for is reducing it to more a chronic condition we can try to control, like diabetes. We aren't likely to change people.

Hi stop screwing anything that wears a skirt and stick to one partner - that's the only way
3 :
It's pretty easy to prevent it. 1) Practice SAFE SEX. that means you always make sure that a condom is being used and that no blood mixes between you. 2) if you take drugs, don't share your needles with anyone else, they are yours alone. As for over coming it, I doubt they ever will as pharmaceutical companies are making huge bucks on it. It's a little like cancer, they have become big businesses and they rather treat you than prevent it. Sorry to sound so cynical.

Ignore that douche bag, he obviously knows nothing about HIV or AIDs, if he did he would know anyone can get it and he will probably step on a needle one day and realize that the hard way. The idea all together is new and original to me, maybe find a quote or song about the fight against and find meaningful words and get a tattoo of words. Sorry I can't really think of a picture or art that could describe it.
2 :
They have a yellow ribbon for AIDS, like they have pink robbon for breast cancer, maybe you could use that Or tattoo some statistics, like 2008= something many people died of HIV and something died of AIDS Or maybe find some famous quotes from the net and add and AIDS theme
3 :
Here is a red ribbon wrapped around the world.
4 :
First let me say having lost a best friend to this illness, and knowing many others affected by it, I really empathise with your cause. The classic emblem for HIV/AIDS awareness is the red ribbon, however you must understand that unfortunatly, there is still a lot of stigma associated with this disease, and so, ill feeling may be attached (by the ignorrant) to any related symbology, so be very careful about what and where, or you may be setting yourself up for a lot of hardship in the future, I would suggest something a little subtle, which is what your asking anyway so: A candle-world AIDS day vigil and all that A patchwork quilt -The AIDS rememberence quilt Hands holding-unity against the stigma and the illness I had a dragonfly, cuz my mate loved them and they represent spirit and soul and rebirth-like butterflies-work something into the wings of a butterfly so it aint to obvious.

How did Hiv/Aids get created

It was originally in monkeys in Africa.
4 :
they think it came from the jungle where these people got bit by some monkey or something and then they got sick
5 :
It started as a strain in chimps. Then evolved to apes, which meant it could be spread to us (as we are most common with apes). The navy is how it spread i'm afraid, they went to foreign countries caught it, spread it.
6 :
monkeys- they carry a form close to our Hiv. in africa a fresh monkey brain is like chicken sandwich here.
7 :
Some guy stuck his penis into a monkey and then history was made.
8 :
It first orginated in a type of monkey in Africa..I think like the green monkey(?) anyway a man had gotten bitten by one that had aids and well oviousally he was a honry bastard...and he spread it.
9 :
The three most commonly referred to scenarios. 1. man and monkey 2. scratched or bitten by a monkey 3. eating a monkey that was not prepared right Although there are many other theories on how aids came to be, I suggest typing keywords "how aids came to be" into google if you want a more thorough explanation.
10 :
The year was 1959. Location: the central African city of Leopoldville, now called Kinshasa, shortly before the waves of violent rebellion that followed the liberation of the Belgian Congo. (There was a really good drama based on true stories on HBO sometime ago that told the story of the beginning of aids. called 'And The band Played On' There is a link in sources that talks about it. It was a very enlightening movie for me.

12 :
I learned this in GTA 4(games are sometimes educational) HIV/AIDS came from monkeys. Apparently, some monkeys (chimps)have this strand of 2 diseases that form HIV. There were a few options how this guy got it. He either fucked the monkey. He probably ate the infected monkey. Or he was chopping up the poor chimp for dinner, and he cut himself and the virus spread in his body. Most likely the 3rd option. Thats what I would want to believe.
13 :
Monkeys I am pretty sure. Although it sounds strange. How did humans get it? lol. Obvisouly they were having sex with monkeys or sharing needles, lol. I think that's something you might need to google again and read up on carefully, because it isn't something I wish to read about, lol.

Is it true that the injectable contraceptive Depo Provera contains the HIV/AIDS virus? Please help!

Is it true that the injectable contraceptive Depo Provera contains the HIV/AIDS virus? Please help!?
On the 27th of January 2008 an article appeared in a Zambian paper that they tested Depo provera and found that it contained the HIV virus. This particular batch was sent to them in November last year by USAID. Please help we are all afraid. If there are any labs to test for us we can purchase the Depo for you.

The only reference that I could find to this myth was in a story published in 2004 detailing how the World Health Organization could be enabling the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa by using Depo instead of giving out condoms. I am 99.9% sure that HIV is not in any doses of Depo. You can contact the company that makes the medicine at 1-866-554-3376 twenty four hours a day, or contact Pfizer, the company that makes Depo Provera on their website http://www.pfizer.com/contact/mail_general.jsp

That is African propaganda against western medicine and birth control.

Mrs clown! "i really dnt think it's just an African propaganda as it is said there is no smoke without fire. anything is possible in this world of today just like before we've faced such so anything is possible right now, we can't trust no one. maybe even you could be a part of the crew. you seem to know nothing so please give chance to better people who care to advise us! People out there who care well we just need a clear picture"

Name of the movie about young boys and HIV/Aids

Name of the movie about young boys and HIV/Aids?
I remember watching a movie a few years back (like 5) about a young boy who had HIV and ended up spreading it around to his group of friends because he had unprotected sex with many girls. Also i remember there was a girl who had been having unprotected sex with many guys and never got aids, but her friend who had sex with only one guy ended up infected.

HIV is a virus...it was probably dormant in your body for your first test.

they sell condoms here ya know!
7 :
yes, there's HIV/AIDS in ALL countries. If you weren't promiscuous you wouldn't have contracted HIV..... And, what about using condoms.... Also, I believe it takes some time for HIV to show up in blood tests, so people can come here with HIV if they took the blood test right after contracting the virus.
8 :
There is a small number of Aids cases in Saudi, mostly expats or people with multiple sex partners. You have 3 encounters a week and do not expect to get AIDS....you are stupid!

Why can't HIV/AIDS be transmitted through saliva

Why can't HIV/AIDS be transmitted through saliva?
I'm writing a paper for Health, and I was wondering, why can't you get HIV/AIDS from kissing? I would think that all bodily fluids would be infected, but not saliva? Is there not enough of the virus in saliva to infect someone, or does the digestive acid kill it, or what?

2 :
There is not enough HIV in saliva for it to be transmitted that way. IDK why the amount of the virus is so low in saliva, though.
3 :
HIV is found in some white blood cells, when it's in saliva it's diluted and there is acid in your saliva. So if you got saliva from kissing someone in your mouth you will do one of two things, spit ot out, or swallow if you swallow and there happened to be HIV in it, the acid in your stomach would kill the HIV. Body fluid that are carriers of HIV are blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk, these fluid can be excreted from the body. There is HIV in spinal fluid, but that is contained with in the body of the HIV+ person. All other body fluid either have no HIV or have so little that it will not infect a person.
