When a person having common cold comes in contact with a healthy person, the healthy one gets infected (even because of hand shake, kiss or other physical contacts, not sex, and sharing other things) but when a HIV positive person comes in contact (not sex) with a healthy person then can he be infected if he contacts with the positive person in a way similar to the above condition of common cold. Please specify with reasons (yes or not, and why?).

What are the differences between the conditions of HIV and common cold viruses in the body?

Thanks.

Is there any discernable difference in public opinion or accreditation between a "regional medical center" and a "regional health system?"

Today, for the first time ever, I have been experiencing sharp shooting pains in my jaw area, directly below my right ear. I know that I need to schedule a doctors appointment to get this checked out, but does anyone have an idea of what could be the cause of this? Like I said, its a sharp shooting pain that doesn't last too long, but when it happens, its not a pleasant feeling. Thanks for any help!

Ok, heres the deal. She started starving herself after her father died when she was in the eighth grade. She was never even chubby, but yet she just wouldn't be happy. It wasn't as major at first, like she would just eat one meal a day for a week before a party or something. But the summer before she started high school she ate one tiny meal a day and got down to 120 pds (shes 5'11) which is very very thin. And its got worse over the years. She's about to be a senior and now doesn't eat a bite of anything for 3 days at a time and when she does eat its like a few carrots. I've tried everything I know and she's been to counseling also but she said it was just a joke and they don't know how she feels (she had it really rough growing up). What can I do? She's destroying her body and can't even take a normal shower because she gets to where she can't breathe....help please.

My husband and I have sex very frequently, and although I enjoy it and it turns me on I can never climax from intercourse alone. I usually have to be "finished" off with oral sex. Do any other girls feel the same way?

Going to the supermarket is so stressful. I dont know how to cook yet so I only know how to make simple things. I would like to eat healthy and maybe lose a pound or two. I never know what to buy and always end up buying bad fattening foods. Please help.

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could give me some advice. A year ago i visited my doctor because when i inhale deeply or yawn i get this irritation under my left armpit and the side of my breast. I'm constantly checking for lumps and they took an x-ray of my armpit and found nothing. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant and it might just be paranoia setting in but its now really bothering me. Any ideas of what this might be? Thanks.
