My friend slept with a guy that is HIV POSITIVE:?

Question

I need websites or answers. What is the probobility that she will get it? We need facts.

Answer 1

Ok, well, the factors depend on WHAT she did and IF that guy wore protection. Since she is a woman (and therefore she herself is not the source)..her chances are:
*normal- 10 in 10,000
*anal- 50 in 10,000
*oral- 0.5 in 10,000
-this is assuming he did not use a condom.
Despite your relatively low chances, it's the same with getting pregnant- the chances are small but it is abnormally common. Get a blood test anyway. Early detection is the best you can do to slow the course of HIV. In fact, you can live out a normal life expectancy if you catch it early.

Answer 2

Her probability will depend highly on weather or not she wore a condom.
If she didn't then her chances have dramatically increased. It will also depend on if she has any open sores, or lesions. Sex can also cause internal fissures that the disease can enter the blood-stream from.
It could take months for a positive test to show, so she will need to be tested frequently for an extended period of time.
She should call an AIDS hotline for more facts and support. They can point her in the right direction. Look in your local phone directory for HIV/AIDS hotline.

Answer 3

contact your local health dept. they will set her up with whatever she will need.
The probability varies. Did she use a condom? Odds are a lot less if so. Without a condom, chances are pretty high. But not definite, so keep your chin up anyway.
If you will look inside of most phonebooks they have an HIV/AIDS hotline number, that would be a good place to start.
First she need to go to the health dept or somewhere and get a blood test.

Post Exposure Prophylaxis:

Providing PEP ARV Treatment

PEP should be commenced as soon as possible after the incident and ideally within 2-4 hours. There is no time limit in most country recommendations, however. Prophylaxis is sometimes given empirically up to 2 weeks in the case of severe exposure when the delay has been unavoidable. Combination therapy is recommended, as it is believed to be more effective than a single agent. Dual or triple drug therapy is recommended.

The therapeutic regimen will be decided on the basis of drugs taken previously by the source patient and known or possible cross resistance to different drugs. It may also be determined by the seriousness of exposure and the availability of the various ARVs in that particular setting. The combination and the recommended doses, in the absence of known resistance to zidovudine (ZVD) or lamivudine in the source patient are:

ZDV 250-300mg twice a day
Lamivudine 150 mg twice a day
If a third drug is to be added

Indinavir 800 mg 3 times a day or Efavirenz 600 mg once daily (not recommended for use in pregnant women)
Provision of ARV therapy should be provided according to institutional protocol, however (and made available as a PEP “kit”), or when possible, via consultation with a medical specialist. Expert consultation is especially important when exposure to drug resistant HIV may have occurred. It will be important that health care workers have ready access to a full month’s supply of ARV therapy once PEP is begun. A minimum treatment of two weeks and maximum of four weeks is recommended.

Clinical monitoring, including follow-up and treatment of adverse effects
Serological follow-up over 3-6 months
PEP for health workers is not considered highly cost effective due to the need to treat a large number of staff to avoid a comparatively smaller number of infections. As the cost of antiretroviral treatments declines, however, cost effectiveness will increase. If providing PEP to health care workers increases staff motivation and assists in staff retention, the cost effectiveness of PEP can be considered to increase significantly. Beyond economic arguments, there are very strong ethical and societal issues for providing PEP following occupational or sexual exposure to HIV.

Training health workers in universal precautions and thereby reducing the incidence of health worker exposure to HIV will be an important step to containing the cost of providing PEP.

Answer 5

Depends on what kind of protection she used, condoms might stop it, but probably not. She needs to get checked out ASAP to see if she needs to get started on HAART which is specific treatment for HIV. Good luck.

Answer 6

50/50. a friend of mine was married to a man who was HIV positive, he died and she didn't get the disease. there's a HIV rapid test that your friend should take and then never sleep with anyone again until they both have been tested for all diseases.

here's a link where you can buy this test and do it at home.
