Well, since 80% of all infections are spread through direct contact, I'd suggest that you get in the habit of washing your hands frequently and well.  Other than that, maintain a healthy weight through a good diet and exercise; stay away from behaviors clearly linked to increased risk (like smoking), etc.

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

The risk of becoming infected with HIV through unprotected (without a condom) oral sex is lower than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. However, a lower-risk activity will increase in risk when it is done often enough. The Options Project found that 7.8% (8 of 102) of recently infected men who have sex with men in San Francisco were probably infected through oral sex. Nearly half (3 of 8) of these cases reported oral problems, including occasional bleeding gums. Almost all (7 of 8) of these men reported to have had oral contact with pre-semen or semen.\n\nThe risk of oral sex transmission (8%) in this study is higher than many researchers had previously thought or found in other studies. More media attention appeared to be placed on this particular study, probably because of the higher number of study participants. There appears to be evidence that higher-risk activities (anal sex) among men who have sex with men is decreasing while lower-risk activities (oral sex) among these men is increasing. Oral sex has always been considered a lower-risk activity but is certainly not risk free.

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

Among other things like AIDS and other STDs, you can get e.coli (not healthy at all).  Best to use a condom for everything.

By recognizing AIDS is a real danger, promoting "safe sex" and by "talking about AIDS and telling people that it is a real danger and threat to the human race!  Sports could play a big role in the fight against AIDS or any sexually transmitted disease, or life threatening disease, by being open and talking about it!

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.

Aids occurs from unsafe sexual contact, affected syringes, donated blood from an aids affected mother to her child. Its symptoms generally show after sometime

I would assume not.  If you cannot catch it from the following ways, I would guess a cigarette is not much different:\n\nThere is no evidence that HIV can be spread through the following: kissing; SHARING FOOD UTENSILS, towels or bedding; swimming in pools; using toilet seats; using telephones; or having mosquito or other insect bites.   http://www.intelihealth.com/ih/ihtih/wsi...\n\nAND:\n\nYou cannot contract AIDS from: beds, breathing, chewing pencils, clothing, combs or hairbrushes, coughing or sneezing, drinking fountains, door knobs, gum, hot tubs, hugging, kissing, nail files, shaking hands, sharing food or drinks, silverware, sitting in the same classroom, swimming pools, tears, telephones, toilet seats, touching \ntowels \nhttp://www.caps.ucsf.edu/capsweb/curricu...

Absolutely not. All you will achieve by having a shower is getting cleaner. The only way to prevent HIV/Aids is to be careful and use a barrier method of contracteption (e.g. condom, femidom) every single time bodily fluids may come into contact. Don't take a risk!

On any single encounter with an infected partner, the risk is high, but not 100%. Multiple encounters increase the risk of transmission substantially.\n\nContrary to popular belief, HIV is actually quite difficult to catch. It is about 5000 times more difficult to contract than Hepatitis C for example (another sexually transmitted disease).\n\nYou should always use a condom if you want to avoid risk; you cannot rely on a person knowing their status. You don't know your status right now do you? And it takes several years for AIDs to develop, so often people feel and appear completely healthy while being infectious.\n\nThe chance of transmission varies with the time that the person has been infected. In the early stages they can be very infectious (before there are any signs). They wil become less infectious after a while and if they are on a therapy, they may reduce their viral load so as to be imperceptable. This doesn't mean you cannot catch it from them but the chances are reduced.\n\nThere is nothing you can do at this time except wait, and do not have unprotected sex with anyone else. Get your first test in three months time, and a further test after six months. If both are clear, you should be OK.

because gays have anal sex and to be blunt, that area tears easily, giving infected fluids an entrance into your body .\n\n  How is HIV Transmitted?    \n\nHIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:\n\nBlood (including menstrual blood) \nSemen \nVaginal secretions \nBreast milk \nBlood contains the highest concentration of the virus, followed by semen, followed by vaginal fluids, followed by breast milk.\n\n* Activities That Allow HIV Transmission\n\nUnprotected sexual contact \nDirect blood contact, including injection drug needles, blood transfusions, accidents in health care settings or certain blood products \nMother to baby (before or during birth, or through breast milk) \nSexual intercourse (vaginal and anal): In the genitals and the rectum, HIV may infect the mucous membranes directly or enter through cuts and sores caused during intercourse (many of which would be unnoticed). Vaginal and anal intercourse is a high-risk practice.\n\nOral sex (mouth-penis, mouth-vagina): The mouth is an inhospitable environment for HIV (in semen, vaginal fluid or blood), meaning the risk of HIV transmission through the throat, gums, and oral membranes is lower than through vaginal or anal membranes. There are however, documented cases where HIV was transmitted orally, so we can't say that getting HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid or blood in the mouth is without risk. However, oral sex is considered a low risk practice.\n\nSharing injection needles: An injection needle can pass blood directly from one person's bloodstream to another. It is a very efficient way to transmit a blood-borne virus. Sharing needles is considered a high-risk practice.\n\nMother to Child: It is possible for an HIV-infected mother to pass the virus directly before or during birth, or through breast milk. Breast milk contains HIV, and while small amounts of breast milk do not pose significant threat of infection to adults, it is a viable means of transmission to infants.\n\nThe following "bodily fluids" are NOT infectious:\n\nSaliva \nTears \nSweat \nFeces \nUrine

Gonorrhea, HIV/Aids, Syphilus, Herpes Simplex 1 & 2, Trichomonias. Be careful.

Actually both...\nMarital status is not a factor when it comes to contracting AIDS.\nSingle people get it from unsafe sex etc... That is all common knowledge..\nMarried people get it from the same sources too... Your partner could be looking for gratification outside marital lines.. Or your partner could already have AIDS and is concealing it..Anything is possible..
