Say you were having a sleepover with a friend. You forgot another change of underwear a home. You borrow some of hers but she had had her period in them some years ago or wekks or whatever. If she has AIDS but doesn't realize it, and you wear her blood-stained underwear, can you get AIDS from her?

I was diagonsed with asthma about two years ago, I am presently on advair and albuterol inhaliers. I have been a smoker for about 34 years and had cronic broncitis for 20 years. I bring up yellow phlem constantly and have trouble breathing so I find myself using the albuterol 3 or 4 times a week. I have told my doctor about all these symptoms but he just increases my dosages. Isn't there a test to tell wether this is truly asthma, and not copd or emphysema. I feel my doctor is wrong.

In the last 1 1/2 months, I have been dealing with a runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes- seems like 24/7. I hear bee pollen works well. I am a lifelong allergy/asthma sufferer who has probably taken almost every drug out on the market today (otc and prescription), not to mention allergy shots too. Prior to the start of the summer, I was fine. Actually, the only thing I was taking was Advair. I haven't had allergy shots for 2 years; it seemed like I was doing well without them. I think that I have built up an immunity to many drugs, such as Benadryl. Any suggestions to a new route I might take? I am also reconsidering going back to allergy shots.

I recently was stung by a bee and had a systemic reaction that landed me in the ER. Problem is I am a farmer and beekeeper. Even if I never touch the bee hives again I still am exposed to lots while picking...

I'm seeing a allergist next week. I definatly want immunotherapy, but I am hoping I can have a Rush course, as I see many bees every day, and am a little anxious. Has anyone done this? How common is Rush or ultra-rush therapy as opposed to traditional immunotherapy? Should my insurance cover it? Are their any doctors in Ohio who do it?

Thanks...
