If 2 people with AIDS have unprotected sex is there any negative effects for either participant?

Answer 1

Yes, they could be carrying different strains of the AIDS virus that could get one sicker than the other, one could be carrying viruses and STDS that could cause an infection within the other and could depress their immune system. It isn't a good idea to not use protection.

Answer 2

Sciencenut is either not an M.D., is a horrible M.D. or "MD stands for "Master of Dumbness" or something. Yes, there are negative side effects. Primarily what is known as "super infection". This is a very real threat. You and your partner having unprotected sex could lead to the exchange of different strains of the virus. This quite possibly could have a devastating effect on your Drug Therapy among other things. I urge you to do 3 things for me. 1. Talk to your HIV specialist about this, if they are worth a grain of sand they will inform you about super infection. 2. Check out www.thebody.com and look up super infection (also just a great site for "virally enhanced" people and 3. Wear a condom!!!! most people on here are not informed. Take care and Stay safe, OK?

Answer 3

The virus has an incubation time. If one participant is more advanced, the time to full blown AIDS may be shortened in the other. That is not found anywhere. It's my theory.

A person with AIDS as a matter of service to defeat the disease must abstain from contact with others.

Answer 4

Not all strains of AIDS are identical - so with already compromised immune system - YES there could be negative effects.
Unprotected sex for anyone outside a committed monogamous relationship for the purpose of having children is like playing Russian Roulette with your life.

Answer 5

I am an MD. There is absolutely no harm to either party if both already have the disease. I have heard that in some larger cities, people have been throwing HIV+ parties just for this reason. Even if they each have different strains of the disease, there is no reported case of transmission of the second strain to the other person, although it might be theoretically possible.

Answer 6

A big negative would be the potential exposure to other diseases besides HIV virus. If each has AIDS then the disease has progressed to the point that each individual has a weakened immune system. They are putting themselves and each other at risk for Syphilis, which is on the rise, as well as other STDS and opportunistic organisms.

Answer 7

THE PREVIOUS ANSWERS ARE WRONG--THERE ARE VERY NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR 2 HIV POSITIVE PEOPLE TO HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX--I WORKED IN THE HIV FEILD....When 2 positve people have sex, there's something called "RE-INFECTION" and it especially hurts women. Remember that T-cells & your Count are affected by "how much" HIV is in your body. When you keep receining more & more HIV, the worse you get. Plus, when you are re-infected, you can get infected by ANOTHER STRAIN of HIV, which can bombard your body and make your immune system much worse. Call any lAIDS hotline and they will tell you

Answer 8

ofcourse... just because the two partners already have aids it can get worse because you keep passing strains to each other, this can possibly make you sick faster. It is not wise to continue having unprotected sex with the partner.

Answer 9

If they are male and female, a baby would most likely have aids. If one is just HIV positive he/she could live for decades. If the other has full blown aids, the HIV positive could develop into full blown aids from it.

Answer 10

If they are different strains of HIV, they could contract the other strain and get much worse.
If either of them have other std's, they could catch those.
If it is a man and a woman and the woman gets pregnant, they could have an HIV+ baby.
In sum, yes.
