This is a serious question, I'm not trying to offend anybody, so just please read the whole question before you answer.

Have you ever known any men that you knew for sure were not having Gay sex, but got AIDS from unprotected sexual contact with a woman?

Paul Michael Glaser's (star of Starsky & Hutch series) Wife Elizabeth contracted HIV from a blood transfusion in 1984, she had it for 4 years without knowing it . She passed it onto her children through breast feeding but Michael never got it. How do you explian this.

I was an adult before the public became aware of HIV and in all my years I have only known 2 people to die from it, one was a Gay male and One was an IV drug user.

So, do you actually know someone, or can give me a link something that verifies that this can happen. Do you have any stats on the chances?

Any information you can give me would be greatly apreaciated, Thanks

Alright, so I love fruits and vegetables, but the problem is, with raw ones, with the exception of really acidic ones, my mouth starts to itch whenever I eat them, including with soy milk. I am on the transition to becoming vegan and this is an issue. I have heard people saying that there is something in raw fruits and vegetables that people can be allergic to that cooks out. It is more annoying than risky, except with melon, even watermelon which is alot water I get a swollen throat, but with everything else I can deal with it, it is just super irritating, has anyone heard of this before? Anyone know what I can do?

Today we found out that my little sister has a heart murmur. She has been athletic her entire life and is going to state in track next year as a freshman. I was just wondering if she will still be able to participate in track and cheerleading. If anyone has any input about this I would love to hear from you. Thanks a lot...

My doctor says I have a life inside of me... I can't believe it. It even sends out little gifts for me every morning.

But the doctor told me I have to kill it.

Do I really have to?

please help me understand my x-ray results for my lower back. it says "there is sacralisation of the 5th lumbar vertebra on the right. The disc spaces and alignment of the vertebral bodies appears to be generally preserved. Minimal sclerosis is seen generally at the facet joints suggesting a little OA change here. "

I am 19 years old. I have OCD and a phobia of HIV.

I am a virgin waiting for marriage. I have NEVER used IV drugs. My parents are healthy and llifestyle is contained.

A couple of months ago I kissed this guy, oxygen was present and I didn't notice any bleeding. It was about 2 seconds. I tested HIV NEGATIVE at 6 weeks and 5 days after that kiss.

And then I had a blister pop on the gas pump and I didn't notice any blood/semen on the gas pump to have gotten it.

So I don't think that I have been exposed at all. However I am worried.

I think that I am getting smaller.

I used to be in good shape in high school and then graduated and college life has me eating fast food 2 and 3 times a day.

For about a week or a less than a week ago, I started cooking at home for lunches and dinner...

My pants today feel a little looser.

Is the change in how I fit into my pants HIV or is this normal?

Please help me!

I know that people with HIV lose a drastic amount of weight.

Should I worry?

ive asked questions but want more answers okay i know that HIV has a very low chance of getting it if you and your partner have only messed around with each other i know that it is RARE but a while back i thought i had a cold sore and me and my boyfrined messed around i gave him oral and then we had sex but we didnt have a condem and i got nervous so he stuck it in then back out because i didnt want to BUT then he gave oral so i am wondering if we could have contracted HIV somehow from that? I've been to the doctor and told him my story and him and the nurse seem to think that we could of contracted herpes but the chance of HIV is low do you agree with him or should i be worried I do get paranoid VERY easy! so this might be silly to some of you i dont know im just worried!
