Is it bad to have AIDS and love having it?

Having AIDS is hugely problematic.  It is a fatal illness.  Eventually a person with AIDS will die.  It may take 10 years, 15 years, but they will get very sick and it's only a matter of time.\n\nIt's great to have AIDS and still love LIFE, but I think it's a little strange to love having the illness itself.

Well, I think if you're still here, then somebody's doing something right, but that's really a question you should be asking a doctor, doll.\nUnfortunately, I am not familiar with the specifics of HIV or AIDS.  What I do know is that HIV can lead to AIDS, which stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.\nA deficient immune system is what would keep you from getting better if you did get sick, and would obviously be more likely to result in death.\nSo aside from the HIV-AIDS link there, I don't know what to tell you except ask a doc.

there are plenty of antibiotics now that may increase life, HIV hurts the body's immune system because the bodies T-cells are infected, usually people don't die from HIV/AIDS but from common diseases such as the flu, diarrhea, common cold.

It seems that there is a lot of misinformation going around this site regarding AIDS and HIV. I have AIDS but I am far from being a "victim". As far as surviving, yes I am doing quite well on the regimen that my doctor gave me. I take a few pills, and thats pretty much it. I get colds just like everybody else but I am not on deaths door as some may think. Having HIV isn't the best thing in the world but it certainly isn't a death sentence either. My suggestion to you is to check out AIDSmeds.com or thebody.com and get concrete information there and not rely on your fellow peers on yahoo.

I'm not really sure, but I work in a hospital and people lived until their 40's contracting aids, is sad though, because not allot of people, not even their family members come to visit them, even when they die, I never see anyone. What ignorant people we have this days....I personally would not have a problem having a friend with aids, I think true friends stick till the end! I always talk to them when I get a chance and allot of them make mistakes, is not only people that are gay, there are allot of ways in getting aids, like blood transfusion, even your partner(that's why is better to test yourself before going any further; since condoms are not so reliable. I wish people just had more sympathy for others than being more self center....

Aids is a sexually transmitted disease AKA, STD. Aids is when you body suddenly in incapable to kill viruses that are easily transmitted and common, aids is a fatal disease because it highly effects your immune system.\n\nAids is hard to be transmitted, in fact you need to go out of your way to transmit aids. Although aids is a virus, aids can only be transmitted 2 ways, 1: when sharing un-cleaned needles with an infected person and their body fluid enters your bloodstream, and 2: during sexual intercourse with a partner whom is infected with aids. \n\nAlthough traces of aids can be found in natural body fluids (sweat, saliva, tears...) you cannot get aids by sharing a towel with an infected partner. In fact scientist and doctors believe that you need at least a quart of infected fluid in your bloodstream to achieve aids.Therefore, no you cannot get aids unless you have sex with an infected person, or you have several amounts of infected fluid in your bloodstream.

If you have *unprotected* sex with someone who has HIV/AIDS, the odds are quite good that you will get it too.\n\nAn hour or so of pleasure isn't worth dying for.

bein HIV positive it didnt mean you have AIDS, that happens when your defense cells get to a little number and you get sick, (pneumonia, kaposi, lynphoma, diarrea, etc) Magic is usin an antiviral tratment it stops the progression of the disease and keeps him wit a high count of inmune cells, eventually if the disease progres (because the virus mutates and grow again) he will have AIDS

Tell "some other" that the one you love has aids.

No disease is accepted by anyone if their is a cure available.but the irony about AIDS is that Its not curable but completely preventable...thats why the interventions are targeted to youth to make them acknowledged so that they can prevent it..

There are alot of people that have it and sex is not all that.  just make sure if you do find someone that you like alot that your them that you have HIV . so they now what they are getting into. and if she loves you she will understand and if she don't then it not worth it.

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.

Assuming you're talking about the classic, Rice-esque vampire, no.  AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a condition resulting from the contraction of HIV, a sexually-transmitted disease.  HIV requires a properly metabolizing body (which it is doubtful that vampires have).  Even if they could contract HIV, though, vampires would still never develop AIDS because it requires a weakened immune system.  Vampires, supposedly, are impervious to mortal disease and thus have no use for an immune system.

HIV effects each and every person that has it different, if a person takes care of them self then it is possible that they will live a life time and never get AIDS it dose not always mean death.  I have been hiv+ for 13 years i am on a drug cocktail without the cocktail i would live for another 13 years with the cocktail i would say that old age would get me before the virus  would.

I have two friends who are both HIV positive both are gay males. One had full blown aids when I first met him and the other had just found out.This was about 4 years ago. I myself just found out 2 years ago that I am HIV. I always thought I was very careful sexually. I almost always used condoms. I suspect I got it from sharing needles(very stupid, I know)while shooting up cocaine which I'm happy to say I have not touched in a year.

Well you could have a child but i think it can catch the virus and so will ur partner so you can adopt. I know it won't really make you happy as a one from your womb but from my experience w/ my aunt (who had the disease) and my uncle(who didn't)- there baby is HIV. Just go to a sophiticated doctor who can really give you all the details.
