idk if you can with hiv or aids, but cancer yes, the only reason why hiv could be a problem, would be becuase your on the battle ground, and if youwere to get injured you could spread it becuase ppl around aren't covered or prapared for it, so you'd unknownly be sprading it, and i dont think that you want to do that, teehee

Aids, hepatitis, and pretty much any other blood-borne pathogen. They can all be transmitted by blood contact.

Your last question talked about Diabetes.  Are You talking about being pricked by a needle of someone who has diabetes?  If so that can not be transmitted.  If You or someone You know has actually been pricked, you need to try and push out as much blood as you can to release all the possible substance,  then clean with hydrogen peroxide like Someone else suggested.  Then You need to have blood tests done, if it is a shared needle, a used needle that You have No idea Who used it, or especially if it is Someone with Hepatitis C, HIV, or Aids.

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.

Not necessarily... See AIDS transmission does not necessarily happen though digestive tract.... \n\nIf the person who had the semen has a small gash in his/her mouth and or digestive tract there is a possibility of infection. Since the stomach is filled with acid it is not a good environement for most viruses.\n\nStill the best way to find out is to get tested and further testing withing after a 6 month waiting period.

you could get if you have a cut and the person with the STD has a cut, you could get it if their blood somehow gets into your body. But like bgolden44 said very very unlikely.

No.  First of all it's impossible to catch AIDS.  It is a syndrome caused by the HIV virus.  But anyway, if neither partner has the virus it cannot be transmitted.  But just to be safe, use a condom.

No. It has never been proved that HIV is transmitted through saliva. But theoretically if both of you have open wounds in your mouth then there is a distant chance (very very small %) of spreading the HIV infection. Mode of transmission of HIV is 1) Through sexual contact with HIV infected person.  2) From infected mother to fetus (baby in the uterus). 3) By receiving HIV infected blood or blood product transfusion - this route is now very rare because of modern laboratory tests to detect HIV in blood, before giving transfusion. 4) By sharing needles (drug addicts)and or accidental contaminated needle stick injury in a hospital.\n---- One more point---  HIV can not be transmitted through the bite of mosquitos---- We are lucky right!!??

Highly unlikely. HIV cannot be transmitted through saliva. The toothbrush would have to be contaminated with blood of the infected and used right away by someone with a cut or bleeding gums. Although it is definitely NOT worth the risk.

It is possible to transmit AIDS by saliva but not very often.  It's more often transmitted by blood or sexually.  AIDS is an STD.  People often transmit it by using already used needles.  It's more likely to be transmitted by kissing if you have an open wound in your mouth, like a cut on your lip.

No- you would not be able to get an infection this way- it would have to be bodily fluids directly from the infected person to the noninfected person.

Yes. It is against the law to have unprotected sex if you know you have HIV. Or to give transfusions, or to do anything that will spread the HIV. There are a number of statutes covering this, not only in Indiana but almost everywhere in the civilized world. \nThere are public health statutes, and under the criminal code, knowingly exposing someone to HIV can be accounted as an assault.

Your husband should be fine.  HIV is a fragile virus and can't live outside of the body.  It dies almost instantly.  So any of the virus on the bloody clothes would be dead.  If your husband had an open wound and pressed it up against your sons open would, there maybe risk.  But he was perfectly safe handling the bloody clothes.  Still, its never a safe idea to touch blood without gloves on, regarless of if it is infected with HIV.\n\nAs far as kissing goes, you can't get HIV through kissing.  The only way there would even be a SMALL risk is if it was deep kissing and there was a lesion or cut in his gum so it was blood mixed with saliva.  Even then the risk is very small.  \n\nDon't worry, unless your husband is having unprotected sex with your son, or sharing needles with him, none of you are at rist.  \n\nI've included a link to some good information about HIV and its transmition.  Taken from that link is this information.  Visit the link to find out more.\n\nCan HIV spread through kissing? \nAnswer: Kissing such as on the cheek or lightly on the lips carries no risk of transmitting HIV. In deep kissing there is a small risk because the saliva of an infected person contains few virus particles which by itself is not sufficient to cause the infection. But there could be bleeding gums or ulcers in the mouth and exchange of infected saliva mixed with blood during kissing could transmit the HIV \n\n\nHow is HIV not transmitted?  \nAnswer: HIV cannot spread by casual contact such as touching, holding hands, body contact in crowded public places, shaking hands, working or playing together, sharing food, vessels and clothes, eating food cooked by an infected person, light kissing, mosquito and other insect bites, swimming pools, and toilets.  \n\nQuestion: How long can the virus live outside the human body? \nAnswer: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is fragile. Once the virus is outside the body in a dry form, it dies immediately. Even in a wet state, it does not live long when exposed to heat, detergents, or disinfectants. When stored in blood banks at 4°C, it can live for about 3 weeks (or longer), or till the white cell disintegrates, but in a frozen state it can survive for years.

ALWAYS WEAR A CONDOM AND NEVER HAVE SEX THAT INVOLVES ANYONES BLOOD! DON"T DO DRUGS INTERVENSIOULY AND MOST DEFINATELY NEVER NEVER SHARE A NEEDLE!! TO BE A CARRIER YOU DO HAVE HIV BUT YOU DON"T KNOW YOU ARE INFECTED! If IN DOUBT ASK THIS PERSON IF THEY HAVE FREQUENT SEX WITH DIFFERENT PARTNERS AND IF THEY GIVE AN HONEST ANSWER YOU'LL HAVE AN iDEA AND IF IT WAS A ONE NIGHT AFFAIR AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE AN IDEA AND THAT IS TO BE TESTED NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCE. WEAR YOUR RAINCOAT FROM NOW ON!!!
