If I can get AIDS only by an infected person why it is said that u get it by just having sex with many people?

because you increase your odds of sleeping with an infected person when you sleep with allot of people. many people could be cerriers of the disease and show no symptoms for years, maybe never, but they can still pass it on to you.

The person infected may only be a carrier and never get AIDS.  If you think you have HIV, go to your local clinic and get tested.  If you have HIV and believe it is in the stages of AIDS, again go to your local clinic/hospital and get tested.  Until then, don't have sex unless it is protected sex, cause you can pass the virus on to your partner.  If you don't tell them you are HIV infected and know you are, you can be charged with attempted murder, if it's unprotected sex, last time I heard.

Possible. One can have HIV infection from infected blood or sexual fluids. If you happen to touch  an infected blood or sexual fluid and you accidentally touch your wound (if you have one) or you happen to touch the part of your sex organ that is most sensitive to the virus (by having sex with yourself as you said??), then you might get HIV...Just making an analysis.

Yes. people can get aids from other stuff like using a dirty needle when getting a tatoo, or you can also get crabs from a toilet seat in a gas station bathroom. Anyway lets say your boyfriend gets aids from one of those non-sexual ways, then when he has sex with you, you will get Aids. It's always a good idea to get checked at your local clinic every now and then (I do it every month)to see if you got Aids or any other STD. I say this because 1/3 of the people you have an STD, don't even know they got it.

You can get infected with a different strain of the virus.  The HIV virus mutants.

Infection due to HIV in adults occurs through:\n1. Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Regular and consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse means protected sex and minimizes the chances of getting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.\n2. Transfusion of infected blood or blood products.\n3. Use of infected needles as in injecting drug use or in health care settings.\n4. From mother to child. \n\nThe A, B, C of HIV prevention are:\nA= Abstinence\nB= Being faithful to one single partner and\nC= Consistent and correct use of condoms.\n\nStay Safe.

You can get aids from having multiple partners and unprotected sexual contact.

Straight people get AIDS too, that's very stereo typical.  I can't believe that you said that!  Well, no, you can't get AIDS/HIV from saliva.  You can only get it from sexual fluids, blood (transfusions/"blood brothers," etc...) and if you are pregnant and have AIDS, you can give it to your child upon birth.

You never know who has AIDS or some other STD's, so the best thing to do is to use condoms. NEVER have unprotected sex!! Even if the person is young or looks healthy. Be careful!

aids is a disease that effects your immune system. as to how you get it... thats probably what your parents dont want you to know

Anal sex  still has the highest probability of transmitting aids and your chances are 100% if you  have this type of sex with an infected partner.  Vaginal sex would come in second and is also a one shot deal if your are engaging in the behavior unprotected with an infected partner.  Oral sex is not much better.  Just be careful who you choose to share your body with and don't be afraid to require they get tested for HIV and show you proof before you engage in any type of sexual act.  A partner who is put offf by that kind of request in this day and age is not a partner you should want to be with in the first place.

Actually, nothing happens to a person w/ HIV......  It's only when it turns into full-blown AIDS that the body's immune system is compromised, then the person could get sick and die from any one of a zillion diseases, because the body cannot fight them off.

Nobody "catches" AIDS.  However, one can "catch" HIV which may progress to AIDS.\n\nIt *is* theoretically possible to contract HIV orally. However, there have been *NO* confirmed cases of HIV transmission through oral sex and the risk of this type of transmission is very, very low.

There are a few STDs such as papillomavirus (warts) and herpes that you can easily acquire by oral contact.  While Hiv has been isolated from saliva, I have never heard of a case of someone getting it from making out.  I would only worry about that if you or the person you made out with had any open sores in your mouth or bad gingivitis (bleedy gums).  As AIDS is a syndrome resulting from HIV infection, all of the above applies to that.  My suggestion, be careful who you make out with, but don't worry.  Herpes and warts are treatable, and it is VERY unlikely you would get HIV from making out.  What a lot of people don't know though is that you can get HIV from oral sex!  So be careful!!!!

No, AIDS can only be transmitted by blood or semen. It also cannot live long outside the human body, and can be killed easily with simple everyday disinfectants. Unless there was blood all over the doorknob and you cut your hand open while opening it and rubbed your wound into the blood there's nothing to worry about.\n\nBlood or semen. That's it.

Herpes is the big one. The only way you can gets aids from an oral transfer is if you have any sores in your mouth, on your lips,gums, tongue, etc. His infected fluids have to get into your bloodstream directly to infect you with aids.  You should not be giving oral sex to someone if you have the slightest suspicion they have something. They may look perfectly 'clean' and normal and still be carrying something. Take care of yourself.
