Its not deadly, its more than that.
Till now once you have HIV - there is no way to come back - life can be prolonged by a year or so with a lot of medicine and pain - but no way to came back to living world.

Hi,
Yes it is deadly. The Human Immuno-deficiency Virus or HIV is the organism that ultimately causes AIDS. Soon after first getting the HIV infection the person has a short, self limiting ‘flue-like disease. This only lasts a few days and is so mild that many persons do not even know it. The virus slowly destroys the ability of the body to resist common communicable diseases. When tha resistance of the body is so reduced that infections can no longer be resisted, the person is said to have AIDS. The mean period between getting the HIV infection and developing AIDS is 9.8 years. In other words, in 9.8 years half the HIV infected persons can be expected to develop AIDS and conversely it must be emphasized that half the persons will still be well and healthy at this time.
The symptoms of AIDS
The symptoms of AIDS are the symptoms of the diseases that attack the body because of a weakened immune system. One should never, therefore, attempt to diagnose HIV infection on the basis of symptom or signs only. Patients with HIV/AIDS may present with a variety of manifestations which include:
Fever, sweats, chills
Fatigue
Loss of appetite, weight loss
nausea, vomiting
Sore throat
Diarrhoea
Cough
Shortness of breath
Body rash
Skin problems
It is important to always keep in mind that all the above symptoms are non-specific and commonly occur in a variety of conditions. To establish a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS a blood test that has been confirmed is essential. A physical examination and other tests are necessary to rule out other illnesses.

Yes, it is usually deadly, particularly if it escalates to full-blown AIDS. It is also *extremely* contagious through sexual contact, blood, or other bodily fluids.
There are no symptoms, which is one of the reasons it's so dangerous. A lot of people don't know they have it until too late.
If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, go to a clinic and get tested immediately.

it is deadly. its not the disease in itself but it weakens ur immune system and makes u more prone to other diseases. for example, a person with AIDS can die of tuberculosis.
do a google search on HIV/AIDS for more information. everyone should at least know the basics.

yeah, thats why your not suposed to have sex before your maried, Your sins will find you out and you will reap what you sow, whither it be AIDS or any other STD.
But it can be cured.
God has healed people of it before. Just get your life right, your mind right and go to a bible beliving church and ask for prayer for healing for it. and keep seaking God on your own and asking for prayer from other pastors. Have faith to belive and you will recive.
Without God's healing, there is no cure and without his salvation there is no Peace.
