HOw old is your son? Have you ever had him tested? Have you been tested? HOw would you have given him HIV? There are too manyd etails left out to answer the question correctly.... If your son is younger than a year get him tested now. If he is after 4 months and his test comes back negative you will need to have him tested again about 18 monthsIf he tests negative at 4 months your odds of him having HIV are greatly reduced. The test at 18 months would be to make sure your HIV antibodies are out of his system. If he tests negative at 18 months then he is fine. Depending on the state you live in he may have already been tested. In CA (where I live) they test all newborns the day they are born for HIV, even if the mother did not test during pregnancy, that way if antibodies show up then treatment can begine to lessen the chances of the baby getting the virus. Did you even get tested during your pregnancy? This would have been a test you would have been offered......This is a test I was offered when I was pregnant last April and I tested positive. My son is now 8 months old and after all of my treatment and his treatment he remains negative (my husband is also negative). If your son is older and he tests positive there is nothing you can do but get him in to see a doctor right away so he can begine treatment. If he does have HIv it is not the end of his life. My outlook is great, I am 24 and my doctor sees me living another 40 or so years.

Some guy was chopping up monkey meat and cut his finger and it transferred to him that way... either that or he was shagging one.
2 :
It is believed to have mutated from green monkeys from Africa to humans in the earlier part of the 20th century.
3 :
we assume that it was started by monkeys in Africa. don't know how the first person contracted it (animal bite, something), but tribal doctors in Africa called it slim disease, because those that got it would get really skinny and eventually die. we are unsure how it got to the rest of the world but when the first outbreak occurred, two similarities between almost all those infected were that they were either homosexual or used IV drugs (needle sharing). of course those people didn't know about AIDS and certainly didn't know that what they were doing was with an infected person. and thats how it first started if you want to know how AIDS affects your body, email me at cd1francefc@yahoo.com

The green monkies in africa have the hiv/Aids virus in them but it doesn't hurt them like it does humans it was passed to us because someone undercooked it an likely got blood so it spread through africa there was said to be a american that went there and got it from an african both male he came back to america and went to these (male) type orgy thats when aids first came out people thought it was a gay only disease they called it GRIDS so you see the gay community was of course afraid of catching this so they "tried" to be straight and doing it with women then it eventauly got not only gays but straights to and was renamed AIDS kinda sux this is why we shouldn't eat monkies...
