I Have Lupus And Was Exposed to Hiv/aids
Posted: 07-07-04 16:51pm

I have lupus and recently may have been exposed to the aids virus ... Tell me if you can since I have too many t cells and aids depletes of your will this most likely make me active with lupus again. This is scary and I was wondering is there any new drug therapy with aids? Thanks for your time

You will have to wait a few months and see if you contracted hiv/aids.
Most people do not become infected from a single exposure to hiv/aids.
It's like playing russian roulette, you can engage in sex many times with a carrier before actually getting blown away. Lupus does not make you more prone to become infected from one expozure.
Because your immune system is already messed up by the lupus, you will require a different drug cocktail, if you ever actually catch it.
