No, you don't need to get another STD to develop AIDS. AIDS is caused by an HIV infection.

No, having thrush doesn't mean you have AIDS. Thrush is yeast overgrowth in the mouth which can be caused by any condition that lowers your immunity or strips you of "good" bacteria that normally keeps it in check. Or, it can just happen, for example, babies often have thrush where nothing is wrong with them!

Hope it helps.

firstly - thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth (fungus enjoys dark, warm and moist places)...you do NOT necessarily have AIDS if you have thrush. babies get thrush often and adults can get it as well, especially after a dose of antibiotics which kill off the good bacteria that protect you from the infection. (the same reason why antibiotics can cause you to have a yeast infection).

secondly...you do not necessarily get AIDS with other STD's, a person can have an STD and not have AIDS. AIDS is an autoimmune disorder that keeps your body from being able to fight off infection. It can only be transmitted through sexual contact or contact with infected blood. Other STD's have their own ways of transmission and while a person can have all the above, that doesn't mean everyone infected with AIDS has other STD's. A lot of times there is no outward symptoms of HIV or AIDS..especially in the early parts of the disease.

Acute HIV infection is the earliest and shortest stage of HIV infection. Not everyone gets symptoms, but most people come down with a flu-like illness three to six weeks after infection. The symptoms are the same as flu or mononucleosis: fever and fatigue lasting for a week or two. There may or may not be other symptoms:

A blotchy red rash, usually on the upper torso, that does not itch
Headache
Aching muscles
Sore throat
Swollen lymph glands
Diarrhea
Nausea
Vomiting
IMPORTANT: If you have been at risk of getting HIV and then come down with these flu-like symptoms, tell a doctor right away. Sensitive new tests can tell whether you have acute HIV infection. Treatment during the acute stage of HIV infection works much, much better than later treatment. Be sure to tell your doctor about your HIV risk. If you don't, you may not get the right tests. Standard HIV tests -- either home tests or lab tests -- won't detect acute HIV infection.

Sometimes people don't seek medical help until they have AIDS. They may have some of the following symptoms:

Being tired all the time
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck or groin
Fever lasting more than 10 days
Night sweats
Unexplained weight loss
Purplish spots on the skin that don't go away
Shortness of breath
Severe, long-lasting diarrhea
Yeast infections in the mouth, throat, or vagina
Easy bruising or unexplained bleeding

First let me start by saying there are no stupid questions, when related to a disease that still continues to plague us today, this comes from a person who has dedicated his life in preventing the spread of HIV. If a PERSON has contracted any STD/STI they are 25 % more likely to contract HIV related to their behaviors. It is estimated that 25 to 30 % o f person infected with HIV disease do not even know they have , do not feel they are at risk , have not been tested. There is something called “UNIVERSAL PRECAUTION “ when you come into the public health I assume that you have something you can give me. , if we would use that same methodology when engaging in sex or needle sharing, believe we would see a reduction in number of newly diagnose . 25 years later HIV prevention programs have not work and we will not even go with the President’s abstinence only campaign. 1, know your status and your partners status 2 use protection , by protecting yourself and others, 3 get involved with your local ASO’s and finally One can never contract or spread AIDS as AIDS is a diagnoses.

No, having thrush does not mean you have AIDS. Many people get thrush and other fungal infections without being infected with HIV.

You can contract HIV without being infected with another STD. However, the risky behaviors which spread HIV can also spread other STDs so it is not unusual for a person to have more than one disease.

To my knowledge aids is sexually transmitted but it has to get directly in your bloodstream. That is the reason it is spread so sufficiently through the homosexual male relationship, because their is blood involved by the breakage of skin around the anus. Do not be fooled, it can be spread by sex through the vagina. The best precaution is abstinence (at least until both partners have had an HIV test performed) or condoms. Please be safe, it is a real disease.

No you get hiv all by itself..It can some with other std's but not necessarily...thrush is a fungal infection that many people experience in their lifetime...but it indicates a compromised immune system and can indicate aids.

The only way to know is to see the doctor. Having other kind of std is not the sign. But the best things is to check on the doctor.

Thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth - usually found only in babies - just a imbalance of the chemicals in your body..... Definetly not deadly

you don't get AIDS from having sex
you get HIV
AIDS develops later from the HIV virus
sometimes people can live for years with the HIV virus and never get AIDS with the medications they have now
