i've read the article "facts.."
so is it safe to say that it's ok if there
are no enlarged lymph nodes after this 7
months period?
also about the wounds, cuts...do they heal
properly when infected for this period?

OMG, I cant believe people are still so
ignorant when it comes to HIV/AIDS...its
been over 20 years now....you cant get it
that easy...blood, intercourse, not spit
or food or breathing the same air. I had
it for years before showing any symptoms
at all so get tested already...its free
and easy and confidential...don't wait and
worry...get tested and don't have un safe
sex anymore. Most everyone gets it threw
sex so remember that next time you want to
do it without protection...after all,
thats why they call it protection...good
luck.

GO TO THE DOCTOR. It could be an infection
if it comes out while you are peeing. It
could be 100 different things. Does it
burn when you pee? Do you have a temp?
Dude, go to the doctor. 4 real.

The HIVirus dies thirty seconds to a
minute after it leaves the body. Hope
that clears that. Then, there has to be a
way into the bloodstream. Like a cut, a
tear, a puncture or a sore. There has to
be a fluid HIGH in HIV for infection to
occur. The fluids are, blood, semen and
pre-cum, vaginal fluids and for babies,
breast milk. This virus is very easy
catch and also very difficult. All the
right circumstances must be present for
infection to occur. A fluid HIGH in HIV,
a risk activity and way in will lead to
transmission.
Never heard of a person infected through
soap or towel although I have had a friend
worry because she used my soap and braided
my hair. It was in the late 90's. I have
lived with AIDS for almost 15 years and I
have done education and outreach about the
virus for over 13 years.

Muthoni, I just wanted to say hello and
you are right. I have had the AIDS virus
for about 8 years that I know of for sure
and have many friends that have had it
15,20 and 25 years. Take your meds and
rest and exercise and eat right and it is
manageable. No one is going to live
forever no matter what you do so enjoy
your life and relax and don't worry, be
happy. You CAN NOT get it
from soap or towels or hugs or anything
like that. It is not possible. Once it
hits air it dies, its a blood disease and
blood diseases cant multiply or flourish
when air hits them. So don't worry about
it.
P.S. Congratulations on your awards with
the YMCA and YWCA, thats GREAT!
