I am waiting to here back from the administrative branch of the RAMADA Hotel chain. While picking up the suit the day we were leaving, I noticed spots of blood on the matress under the sheets! What should I say to the RAMADA people when they call back? I took pictures of the bloody grapefruit sized mess. It was just a stain and not wet so I'm feeling pretty confident that I wasn't infected with anything, however, I am still very unsettled. How could anything they would offer compare to a lifetime with a blood born pathogen/disease? Free future stays (at a minimum) at another location just seems so minimal. Where was it you wonder??? Two blocks from the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. I'm waiting to hearback from the Minneapolis Inspection folks as well. You'd hope (though my gut tells me otherwise) that hotels don't just flip these stained things over to accomodate future guests. GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just wanting to know bcuz some people can live with HIV and never develop AIDS, n some people it takes a long time to even develop the symptoms of HIV for quite a long time so i was just wondering if a person can b exposed to the HIV virus and never contract it bcuz of a very strong immune system. I personally think that one can b xposed and never get it regardless of how they r xposed to the virus. let me know what u think. but only if the person has a sronger than average immune system

I've looked this up quite a bit but I still would like information from someone knowledgeable and experienced. What are some tell-tale symptoms of early tetanus? Would I be certain I had it if these symptoms were present? How long can it stay in the early stages without becoming serious, and how likely am I to even get it if I've had a shot five years ago?
I had a really nasty cut awhile ago, and it looks healed, but I know the disease can spread throughout your body. I don't want to waste money going to a doctor just to ask about it.
Any information is welcome, but I'm really looking for someone who is a nurse or other trained medical worker who REALLY knows what they're talking about.
Thank you.

I've heard it was originally a disease found in monkeys, and was transferred to humans via "sickening behavior", if you get my drift.
Is this true?
If not, then what was the origin of AIDS?
