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.

I need help this never happen before I had blood come out of my penise I need to talk to somone

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!
