Answer 1

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, a disease that makes it difficult for the body to fight off infectious diseases. The human immunodeficiency virus known as HIV causes AIDS by infecting and damaging part of the body's defenses against infection, namely the white blood cells known as CD4 helper lymphocytes (pronounced: lim-fuh-sites).

The only known way for the HIV virus to be transmitted from one person to another is when it is spread from the inside of an infected person's body to the inside of another person's body. This can happen when infected fluids - such as semen (also known as "***," the fluid released from the penis when a male ejaculates), vaginal fluids, or blood - are passed from one person to another. A person can become infected even if only tiny amounts of these fluids are spread.

How does someone become infected? HIV can be spread through sexual intercourse if one of the partners has the virus. The virus can be spread through an infected person's blood, semen, and secretions from the cervix (part of a female's uterus) or vagina. HIV can travel to another person through cuts and sores on the penis, rectum (the last part of the intestine that connects to the anus), vagina, or skin around the genitals and probably the mouth and other mucous membranes. These cuts or sores are often so small that a person isn't even aware of them. Girls and guys who have a discharge (an abnormal fluid coming from the vagina or penis) or genital sores because they have a sexually transmitted disease are at increased risk for infection. HIV can be spread sexually from a man to a woman, a woman to a man, a man to a man, and a woman to a woman.

People who inject themselves with drugs also risk infecting themselves with HIV. Many people who use needles to take intravenous drugs or steroids share the needles with others. If a person with HIV shares a needle, he or she also shares the virus, which lives in the tiny amounts of blood attached to the needle. Sharing needles can also pass hepatitis and other serious infections to another person.

Also, a newborn baby is at risk of getting the HIV virus from his or her mother if she is infected. This can happen before the baby is born, during birth, or through breastfeeding. Pregnant teens and women should be tested for HIV because infected women who receive treatment for HIV are much less likely to spread the virus to their babies. Babies born to mothers infected with HIV are also given special medicines to try to prevent HIV infection.



If you have never had sex and you don't inject drugs, you don't need to worry about whether you have HIV. But if you have had sex or are planning to in the future, HIV is definitely something you should be prepared to prevent. If you do have sex, using latex condoms properly every time can help protect you. Condoms work by providing a barrier to the body fluids that can be shared during sexual activity (including oral sex). Always follow the directions exactly and never use the same condom twice.

Asking people if they have HIV is not a reliable way of finding out whether they are infected. People may not answer truthfully. They may be embarrassed to tell you or may not want you to know. Or they may not even know they have the virus because it can take many years for symptoms to develop. An infected person will look healthy for many years and can still spread the virus. The most certain way of preventing HIV infection is by not having sex (abstinence) and by not sharing needles to do drugs.

There are many places you can get more information about HIV and AIDS, personal counseling, and, when appropriate, testing. Talk with your doctor about any concerns you might have.

Answer 2

no, HIV is not "generated" as such.....it only spreads from one infected person to the other. if u had sex with 100 people, all HIV negative, u won't get HIV. but yes, if u even kissed a HIV positive person, u might get it.

this HIV was first discovered in a monkey, somewhere in africa. then somehow it spread to a human and ever since, it has just "spread", and not "generated" again.

and no, no chemical reaction is supposed to trigger off HIV infection, it's just a virus, and a very intelligent one at that. it can modify itself, that's why there is no effective medicine for it.

but basically, u can get HIV only if u come in contact of an infected person (unprotected sex, HIV infected blood transfusion, from pregnant mother to her foetus, using already used syringes of an infected person, etc.)

Answer 3

HIV is a virus, not a chemical reaction. If someone slept with 100 people, and all of them were negative, meaning they had none of the virus in their system, then that one person could NOT get HIV through sex.

Answer 4

The hiv virus started in Africa with the Green Monkeys. It spread to humans and since people travel more today it spread fast. It is spread by sexual contact or by contact with bodily fluids.

Answer 5

HIV is a virus that develops to AIDS. And it is sexually transmited and if you have blood contact too.
No one really knows how it started but some think it started in Africa when we sent lots of needles for immunations which got used again and again and was originally a virus of monkeys which mutated to affect humans ( no kidding)

Answer 6

No silly goose. It is a virus that mutates rapidly. Look up hiv and educate yourself!
If you have sex w/ 100 negative people your going to be negative also. And your also a slut! If your gonna bone 100 people might as well get paid!
A slut gets laid
A whore gets paid

Answer 7

HIV is an std you would have to have sex with the person to catch it.If you have unprotected sex wit an HIVperson then chances are you got it too.you can also get it from your mother if she was infected while pregnate with you. hiv is spread through blood. not through air, or touching or kissing.

Answer 8

No - it's not a chemical reaction between people, it's a virus, it's transmitted between people, not in reaction to them. No one is positive how it started but it may have involved sex with a primate.

Answer 9

If you have sex with a million negative people you cant get it. Its a virus. Your body has to come in contact with the VIRUS! You can only get it from somebody that has it. Its not that easy to catch even if they are positive. Body fluid (contaminated semen, vaginal fluid or blood) must get into your bloodstream. Thats the only way.

Answer 10

are u kidding? hiv is not a chemical... its a virus. if 100 people dont have it, then you wont get it from those 100 people.
