Probably no.
To extrapolate from runny nose, sore throat and penile (urethral) discharge that you got AIDS is a very long stretch.
Most tap water is chlorinated and the chance of HIV surviving for a long time is very slim. You also would have to have some kind of oral sore to offer a pathway for the virus to slip in.
Chances are you have one of the usual STD's. Go to your physician and have it diagnosed and treated!

No you cannot get AIDS from drinking tap water. There are mony other condtitions that causes you to have runny nose, sore throat and penal discharge. An infection from Neisseira gonorrhea looks more likely than the HIV.
The virus cannot survive outside a host body for more than a few minutes or so.

You can not get aids from drinking tap water... Go to the dr and get tested for STDS because Penal discharge isn't good.

sure, that's risk-free to drink faucet on an identical time as pregnant. just to be risk-free, you may purchase one in each of those Brita Filters, which cleans the water or perhaps makes it flavor greater useful. wish i helped!

yes, all morons get aids from tap water.
if aids is so common there then why dont you know more about it. just so you know...aids cannot live in air for any period of time longer than a few seconds and you contract it with body fluids. not from water

no you can't... I highly doubt even if someone put blood in your water any part of it would survive to get into your system and spread the disease

no, you can't get it from drinking water. it is passed through bodily fluid ie: semen, blood, vaginal discharge etc.
I guess you could get it from one of those sources if someone put one of those things in your glass AFTER they put the water in it.
Go see a Doctor!
