With compassion.  Your friend probably needs you more now than ever before.  It will be difficult, as it is with anyone you know is dying, but just being a friend is the best thing you can do.

AIDS is a really serious problem.  People should definately worry about it more because it changes your life.  I think people who have AIDS should be honest with their parteners (because most aren't) and warn them.  AIDS is an auto immune disease.  You get sick easily, and it will most likely result in a premature death.

Simply go up and tell him. If you have a friend tell him, it will get twisted around. He'll appreciate it more if you are open and just tell him. :)

What the card says is perfect.  Maybe below it just write something like, "Any time you need to talk I'll be there." or "Hope things get better for you."  Something simple, short, and sweet.  You seem like a great friend.  God bless you!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106273/\nThis is a really great movie about AIDS... from it's very first beginnings (who they think originally spread it around the world) up to 1993.  It is a wonderful movie, whether you use it in your presentation or not- but putting a few minutes of this movie into your presentation would really get some attention!  I hope that might help!

I'll try to keep it simple, but comprehensive\n\nThe main symptom of HIV is that the body begins to kill off its own T-Cells, which help to keep the body disease-free. When the number of T-Cells reaches a certain critical low point, AIDS can develop.\n\nHIV is a virus, which means that it is small enough to enter other cells in the body. When it enters a cell, it messes around with the cell's DNA and turns it into a virus factory. The more viruses there are, more T-cells die. The medications that your friend is taking should kill off some of the virus, but HIV can adapt to drugs quickly and sometimes develop immunity to the medicines.\n\nIf your friend has a good T-Cell count, that means that he still has many of his T-Cells, enough to stay relatively healthy. Viral load simply is a measure of how much of the HIV virus is inside of his body. High viral load is bad. Low viral load is good.\n\nIf your friend is sexually active, he MUST USE A CONDOM AT ALL TIMES! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Also, he should avoid sexual contact when he is having an outbreak (this is when virus production kicks into overdrive. This can happen either spontaneously, or because it develops an immunity to the medicine he is taking). As long as he uses a condom, takes his medication, and doesn't have sex during his outbreaks, the chances of spreading HIV are marginal (but still POSSIBLE, as condoms are not 100% effective)\n\nI hope i helped you with this. Please respond here or e-mail me back with any other questions. E-mail: mrwasabi90@hotmail.com (Preferably e-mail)\n\nIf you want more information I suggest calling Dr. Drew on LoveLine. He is a board-certified physician and will gladly answer questions about sex, STDs, drug addiction, etc. 1-800-LOVE-191 (call between 10pm and 12 PM Pacific Standard Time)\n\nAll I can say to you and your friend is good luck.

any exchange of fluids is a gamble but usually a  sore or wound is necessary to get aids but if you go ask about the most recent test they have had and get tested for free at the city or county clinic and a another sure way to get aids is blood if one of you has a sore in the mouth or anus and exchages blood over the wound then its more likely to infect than saliva since salive is acidic and has some digestive emsymes

Personally I would want someone to tell me. I mean really you could be saving someones life by telling them that. If they get an attitude just apologize and figure you probably won't see them again so who cares but I would definitely say something if I were in your shoes.

Aids originated from when europeans went to africa (trying to steal our gold) and got stuck in the Kalahari Desert. They were starving, and ate the first animal they could kill which was the monkey. They went back to Europe and passed the desease on. You guys shouldnt talk about africa that way. Americans are very niave, and need to go to africa by themselves and then come back and talk. When they've been, then they will experience it for themselves and see that what is on the news and tv is just exaggerated! Believe me,I know...Im from africa!!! For a first world country, its people are very DIM!!!!

Do you mean "aides" as in assistants or "AIDS" as in acquired immune deficiency syndrome?  You posted your question in the Diseases section so it sounds like you mean AIDS!  Gosh, I hope not.

AIDS is a very deadly disease with a 100% death rate. It is transmitted through body fluids like blood and sexual fluids. there is almost no way of getting AIDS from kissing. the only way might be if she has cuts or sores in her mouth and you have cuts and sores also. sweat or urine dosn't transmit it eather.

No. You don't! Even if this person has AIDS they are still human and they have feelings.

Aids is such a broad subject. You probably need to condense it to a subject within Aids for example how about the effects  physically,socially,psychology on HIV infected children
