Yes only if the mother who gives/supplies the breast milk has contracted aids.

Unless things have changed, when you are in a marriage, yes, the doctor can tell your spouse.\n\nAccoording to:  http://www.alp.org.za/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=45&DC100SID=0907b535c517bcaebf0a0987aae76e68\nWhen can a health care worker tell your sexual partner? \n\nA health care worker may only tell your sexual partner about your HIV status when:\nThe sexual partner is clearly known and identifiable – in other words, a specific person, eg “your husband William”.\nThe sexual partner is at risk of being infected with HIV by you, and you have refused to inform the partner of your HIV status or you have refused to have safer sex.\nYou have been counselled on the need to inform your sexual partner or have safer sex.\nThe health care worker has told you of your duty to protect your sexual partners.\nThe health care worker has warned you that if you do not inform your sexual partner or have safer sex, then the health care worker will have to breach confidentiality.\n\nIf someone is HIV+ and doenn't tell their spouse, they are the lowest of low.  How unethical to infect someone without telling them.  That would require no conscience and that person would be a sociopath...only concerned with themselves and not others.

First off, don't listen to that Big B guy... he is obviously some ignorant nut, thinking he can scare people into behaving in a way he finds appropriate, and he doesn't mind lying to accomplish this. Homosexual sex does not cause AIDS. A virus does. If neither person has the virus, neither person will suddenly get the virus just because the two people have sex. Big B, shame on you for spreading your lies here.\n\nAs to talking with your parents, the safest thing to do, if you think they would react badly, is to not tell them until you are out of the house and able to support yourself... whether that be after high school, after college, etc. That way, they can't do too much that would negatively impact your life, apart from in the emotional sense. (This is what I did.)\n\nHopefully, though, you have a good relationship with your parents, and can talk about this eventually. You might start out by testing the waters a little... mention a news story about Pride Week (which just ended) or something about gay people in the news, and see what sort of reaction you get. Ask them what they think about gay marriage... something like that. All without mentioning anything about yourself personally.\n\nThen, if things look favorable, you can work into talking about yourself.\n\nGood luck to you... I know this is a difficult time.

Hello!! :o) Like some others who have already responded - I'm also curious as to how you know. But lets just assume that you 'accidentally' saw your son and his friend give each other 'hand jobs'. Contrary to what some guys say - a LOT of guys [especially young guys like your son] 'experiment' with each other. And more often than not - it goes no farther than 'mutual masturbation'. It's not a 'sign' of anything insofar as sexual orientation is concerned. [If it was - than MOST guys would be GAY - because MOST guys have had at least SOME same-sex 'experience'!!] But should you DO something about it?! Well... like what?! You certainly can't make it stop. You could - I suppose - threaten him or shame him. But that would just backfire and destroy whatever relationship you have with him. A parent always wants to keep the doors open [Emotionally speaking] and a sure way of closing those 'doors' is to make a child feel ashamed for being HUMAN. IF [and this is a BIG 'IF'] you have a good relationship with your son - and HAVE in past talked openly about things, including [perhaps] sex - you COULD bring up the topic in a 'round-about way. Without actually talking about him [and his friend] specifically [at least not at first] you could mention how normal it IS for kids to 'experiment' sexually with their friend. And let him know that THAT is OK. But also let him know that it's important to be careful about not getting carried away and doing things that maybe he [and his friend] shouldn't BE doing. THEN let him know that your 'door' is always open and he CAN talk to you about anything. AND that anything he tells you will be kept private. [And keep that promise!!] Saying anymore to him at this stage would probably just confuse him. I hope that helps. Craig!! :o)

The only way to know is if she takes a test - either an antibody test or a blood test. There's no other way for you to make a diagnosis, just like you couldn't diagnose if she had cancer.\n\nOnce she does take this test, there are tons of sites with information about AIDS. But I suggest that you first get her to take the test.\n\nGood luck

Yes,ask your sex partners.  There's no harm in asking someone if they have had an HIV test.  That information can keep the both of you healthy.

Don't listed to Lita, you can't get HIV from touching someone!  If you used protection it is unlikely that you would get HIV.  I would get tested for everything just to be safe.  If it comes back negative, get tested again in 6 months because sometimes the virus takes time to show up.    Be careful and make sure that you use protection every time!

it depends on the STD. And about your mother finding out, if the symptoms begin showing, she'll probably find out. if you go to a free clinic (depending on how old you are, your mom won't be informed). However, I think if you're really worried about having an STD you should talk to your mom. STD's are serious and some are permanent.

I don't know what I can say that will help you but I can reassure you that you are not the only one. My ex disappeared for the first 6 yrs of my son's life and then reappeared acting like he was the best dad in the world. He constantly contradicts what I say (ex.: my son has dental sealants and can not have sticky candy because it will rip them off but he insists my dentist is a head job who doesn't know what she is talking about, he also tells him he doesn't have to listen to the stupid things I say, that my son doesn't have to be responsible for anything -he's 10, and so on). He also created a tape using one of his friend's to play for my son. The contents consisted of this impersonator telling my ex that I did not love my son, I did not want my son, my ex could keep my son, etc. My ex also has no problem with my son seeing pornographic materials lying about his household. My son told of this and more to a Children and Youth Services agent who told me even though what my ex was doing was inappropriate it was abuse. Now for the grand finale, I stopped my ex from seeing my son for 3 months because he informed me he moved back in with his child molesting mother whom my son was to have no contact with and while the investigation was taking place and I was trying to modify the custody arrangement. During this time he filed contempt charges against me, initially sending to the wrong address (one that didn't even exist) so I missed the first hearing. I later received a visit from a constable telling me if I didn't go to the next one I would be sentenced to jail. I had proof that he sent it to the wrong address before we had the hearing. At the hearing my ex couldn't decide where he was living or for what amount of time, stated I had denied him my son longer that occured, and brought forth info that his mother was recently forgiven for molesting her sons (my ex and his brother). The judge decided that he knew my ex had lied about the extended time but I was also in the wrong because I should have known (even though I lacked the resources to find out and frankly my ex should have informed me since he knew, I forgot we are still supposed to wipe their asses even after we are no longer together) that his mother was forgiven for her most heinous act and that he was no longer living with her. Never mind the fact that we had contact since I stopped letting him take him  and my ex could have mentioned it, never mind the fact that my ex couldn't even figure out where he was living, and never mind the fact that not once did I tell my ex he could not see him, that he could not take him, I WAS STILL IN THE WRONG. I was in the wrong for trying to protect my son. My fiance summed it up nicely, the courts are currently favoring the men. The court does not take the child's welfare into consideration just what they want as they are deciding.

First of all...to all the people that said "duh"...Your answers to this question were 100 times as stupid as the question itself.  The answer to the question is that they will only find out if you have AIDS, if you've done marijuana, or other drugs if they run a specific test for it.  They don't put the blood in a machine and have it run all the tests that are known.  When you get blood drawn, there has to be a reason...They might be looking for how your kidneys or liver are functioning, so they will test for that.  If they want to know if you have been taking drugs, they can test for that as well.

Go to your school's financial aid department. They will help you determining what aid you are qualified for. If your parents are not paying anything, see if they can treat you as not depending on your parents and not consider their income against your eligibility for aids. Also do grants and scholarship search online.

Well Sweety, honesty is in most cases the best policy. Don't you think that she will find out one day? I would sit down with her and tell her that you need to tell her something that she might find shocking or that she might be upset about. Then, tell her, "Mom, I want you to know how much I love you and what a good mother you've always been (if this is true), and I need you to hear me out and try to stand by me, because I really need you now." Something to that effect. You may want to pick up some literature on parental understanding and support for parents of gay children. There's no real easy way to do it but I can tell that it's something you must do for your own peace of mind. I'm a mother and I can tell you that for most mothers, there is nothing that will change their love for their children, even if they are upset. The bond is so very strong between mother and child that I'm willing to bet that she will not stop loving you. She may be upset and unaccepting at first but if you keep the lines of communication open, you will work things out. Good luck, Honey.

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