If a Shark ate a guy with AIDS would the shark get aids?

Question

shark, lion whatever can eat a man. wondering this for a while

Answer 1

YES the SHARK would get AIDS........ Poor Shark... The Human should of been more responsible when swimming.

Answer 2

I don't think the HIV virus can survive for very long outside the human body. I don't believe it would survive in a shark body or other animal body except for maybe some primate species, but even that I'm not sure about.

Even if some other animal's body could host the virus there is a difference between having HIV and having AIDS. Shark physiology is too different from human physiology and the virus would not cause AIDS in its body.

I wonder if a shark would have bad farts after eating a guy who just ate a lot of broccoli.

Answer 3

No.This is because aids is contracted from a virus known as HIV-Human Immuno Virus,this elucidate that the virus can only be transmitted among human being and not other creature.So the shark is aids free-don't worry and take you're shark to VCT.

Answer 4

I highly doubt Aids from a human, would effect a shark, as the virus is adapted to the human host not a shark... a shark biting another shark with Aids.. that might be diffrent

Answer 5

No, for two reasons. First, HIV has to be introduced directly into the bloodstream to cause an infection. It cannot infect throiugh the digestive tract, unless there is an open sore like a gastric ulcer. And secondly, because viruses are very species-specific. A human cold virus cannot infect a cat. A cat virus cannot infect a dog. About the only broad-ranging virus is rabies, and even that cannot infect animals other than mammals.

Answer 6

WOW, thats the best question i have heard all day, but i dont know if aids would affect the shark but i no that a dog can get a cold.

My dad says its not very likely

Answer 7

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The late stage of the condition leaves individuals prone to opportunistic infections and tumors. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to slow the virus's progression, there is no known cure. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

Most researchers believe that HIV originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century, it is now a pandemic, with an estimated 38.6 million people now living with the disease worldwide. As of January 2006, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since it was first recognized on June 5, 1981, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. In 2005 alone, AIDS claimed an estimated 2.4–3.3 million lives, of which more than 570,000 were children.[5] A third of these deaths are occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and destroying human capital. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries. HIV/AIDS stigma is more severe than that associated with other life-threatening conditions and extends beyond the disease itself to providers and even volunteers involved with the care of people living with HIV.

Answer 8

If the guy infected with AIDS have been dead for a while....then the AIDS virus would have been killed upon contact with oxygen. Then maybe the animal may not be infected. Hmm, if they ate it fresh with the blood dripping it might possible. Or maybe the virus works differently on feline or marine species? It is hard to say, actually.

Answer 9

According to the TV campaigns I've seen, the shark, lion or whatever will be protected if it wears a condom whilst eating the man...

Answer 10

no,shark will not get AIDS because HIV virus is host specific
protien coat determines the host specific.HIV virus only affect
human
