Question

i would to know the correct answer

Answer 1

AIDS (auto-immune deficiency syndrome) is caused by HIV (human immudeficient virus).

Normally, your body's immune system keeps you healthy by killing germs that enter your body. One of the most powerful ways that it does this is with T-cells. T-cells are special white blood cells that seek out and kill viruses and bacteria.

The HIV virus attacks and destroys your body's T-cells, leaving your immune system incapable of fighting off germs. Your body can still function normally without T-cells, but you can't fight off infections. This means that any minor infection (common cold, infected pimples, stomach virus, etc.) can become deadly, because your body has no way of stopping the infection once it starts.

HIV lives in and is transmitted through body fluids (blood, semen, and mucous). It can be transmitted through any of the following means:

Vaginal or anal sex (either partner may contract it in this manner)
Performing oral sex on a male (It's not common, but it has been documented. It is unknown whether or not it can be contracted by performing oral sex on a female, but no cases have yet been documented.)
Contact between a mucous membrane or open wound and infected blood
Sharing or reusing hypodermic needles or other medical equipment that breaks the skin
Blood transfusion or organ donation (all donated blood and organs in America are tested for the presence of HIV and other viruses before they are used)
Transmission from mother to infant during childbirth.

Ways in which you CANNOT catch HIV:

Being near, talking to, or being coughed or sneezed on by an infected person
Shaking hands, hugging, or kissing an infected person (There has been one documented case of transmission through kissing, but both parties involved had open sores on their gums.)
Using a public toilet after an infected person.
Eating or drinking after an infected person.
Contact with sweat or saliva. (There is some controversy as to whether or not it's theoretically possible to transfer the virus through saliva, but it's never been documented.)

In order to stay safe, always use a condom during any sexual contact (including a dental dam for oral sex). If you use intravenous drugs, never share needles. Always use a fresh needle every time. Never try to clean up spilled blood; call someone who's trained to do it safely.

That's about it. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me through my profile.

Answer 2

Have you had your head in the sand???
I can't believe that anyone in this day and age does not know about HIV/AIDS.
It's causes: unprotected sex, sharing needles, blood transfusions(years ago).
Safety measures: use condoms, don't share needles.
You can be HIV positive and not have AIDS. AIDS is when you actually have the illnesses like Kaposi's, pneumonia, just to name 2.
