Watch a ton of vampire movies before bed and you will probably dream about them. Thats about the only way your becoming one,sorry babe but vampires are not real.
2 :
It is impossible of becoming a vampire:}
3 :
You can't. What is wrong with you people? Get a real life.
4 :
wow, you must live in london...there are no vampires in the usa...;)
5 :
You're going to have to make your victims take "the test" first.
6 :
You'd need to have some sort of mouth guard, but that would still be a risk. Or know your victims and like someone else mentioned, have them tested or know that they've had a clean test! I've heard of people out there acting like vampires, they have groups and just suck each other's blood, I think. But you wouldn't get any cool benefits like immortal life, or being super fast or anything, unfortunately! So you'd just have to really like the taste of blood. I found a website you might find interesting. Who knows if the lady who writes it is out of her mind or what, but here is a link, look around the site. http://www.drinkdeeplyanddream.com/realvampire/turningessay.html

Drink blood of someone without HIV/AIDS Sadly,vamps dont exist... If they did,Bella would have killed me already... For stalking Edward.:)
8 :
kill 666 men who are 23 years old, who have gay parents, and have 9 children, work 10 hours a day and live in different states, they can't be asian or from Hawaii, all they're 9 children must be boys, ... count backwards from 13 876 235 and then you might be a vamipre! its that simple!.. :p HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...k bye
9 :
Dude or whoever who you are, vampires do not exist but cannibals do. So for your family's sake, please don't go searching around for someone to bite you. People can cheat you into really thinking they could bite you and become a vampire and probably rape you or even kill you and eat you up...that's what cannibals/con men do. Seriously, don't take all these Hollywood films too seriously. I bet this came from Twilight. Good movie but something you shouldn't take too seriously. Even if vampires do exist, they're evil creatures and are of the Devil. Some sense if you please, people, I pray you possess it! God bless.

Of course, in terms of the mythical, literary and cinematic conventions, we are correct: there are no "legions of the undead" stalking the unwary. We have explained the folklore with politics, misunderstood diseases, and hysteria, the literary and cinematic images with psychology, history, and sociology. We of the 20th century are confident that vampires could not really exist. But then, most of us are never forced to think otherwise. For a number of people, the concept of vampires becomes a critical and often lifelong concern. To live with, love, or befriend a real vampire is to encounter a set of problems which may demand expanding the boundaries of one's accepted reality. To come to terms with being a real vampire oneself is to face a lifetime's karmic challenge. Some people reading this article already know this. The rest are probably thinking, "Real Vampires, give me a break! Sure, there are some pretty weird people out there, but all they need is a good therapist." Yes, there are people who take on all the trappings of a gothic novel: dressing in black, claiming or pretending to be "vampires" in the supernatural sense, wearing capes, sleeping in boxes, even getting their teeth capped. There are more frightening people who seek to torture or kill animals or human beings in order to gain power, emotional release or sexual thrill, and who sometimes call themselves (or are called) "vampires". But most of these individuals are troubled people who have been attracted by the cultural myths about the vampire: supernatural powers (because they feel powerless), overwhelming sexuality (because most of them have sexual issues and no true relationships), immortality (because they fear aging and death). Individuals like these are the most recent "explanation" for humanity's persistent belief in vampires. But beyond and behind all the folklore, the psychological theories, the role playing, even the traditional spiritual assumptions, lies the real truth about vampires.
11 :
1. Vampires, as defined by a being that MUST consume blood or energy to survive, do not exist. Cut and paste time, as it is too much work to type this out over and over so here goes. A brief discussion of the human digestive system and then the probable vampire population given an exponential growth rate should explain why vampires are not possible. 2. The human body is not designed to process large amounts of blood for nutrition. There is not enough protein, carbohydrates, and fats present in blood to maintain a complex creature such as Homo Sapiens or any theorized offshoot mutations. When a human ingests food it is first broken up by chewing, then churned up in the stomach with digestive juices to form a bolus called chyme. It then passes into the small intestine where it mixes with bile salts which continue breaking it down on a molecular basis, mostly affecting fats at this point. The broken down nutrients pass through the wall of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they are carried to each cell or stored for later use. Indigestible bulk continues through the intestines, turning a dark brown from the bile. Water is absorbed from this mass in the large intestine depending on the needs of the body - a well-hydrated person will usually have a softer stool than a dehydrated person will. Water also enters the bloodstream, and this is what helps to maintain blood pressure. The pressure tends to balance itself in a healthy person because the bloodstream goes through a formation in the kidney called the Loop of Henle, where the narrowing blood vessel forces excess water and cellular waste such as urea out through the cellular wall into the kidneys, where it is excreted through the ureters into the bladder, and then out of the body via the urethral passageway. 3. IMPORTANT - A person physically unable to process his own food for nutrition therefore also could not process blood - it's the same process. Ingested blood does not transmit directly to the veins anyway - it would be chemically broken down by the digestive system. 4. Theoretical ingestion of blood to supply these nutrients would therefore have to occur at least once a day, and would require the ingestion of the entire blood supply which could not happen as the stomach is far too small to hold that much liquid volume. Furthermore, such a mass would be difficult to pass thru the intestines as it has no fibrous bulk, would create an intestinal impaction, causing massive vomiting from the large concentration of iron present, and any "real" vampire would have to eventually expel the waste, which would come out as a black, tarry, smelly goo. 5. These humans that affect the whole "vampiric lifestyle" are NOT vampires. They are simply humans playing their own little game, in their own little fantasy world, usually pandering to their own little sexual fetish, which may or may not actually be sexual. I too, play my own little game, in the SCA, but mine is a game where the deeds that I do are determined by the strength of my arm and sword - I am a warrior, with just as much skill and ability as any warrior of ancient times. The difference is that I am claiming to be something physically possible: a warrior, and I prove it everytime I strap on my armor and walk onto a SCA battlefield. The so-called "vampires" are claiming to be something physically impossible: a walking corpse, and all they prove is that black Victorian clothing, a pair of false fangs, and a little makeup make for a good Halloween costume - it does not make you a vampire. 6. Even if a vampire feeds once a week, and his victim also becomes a vampire, that is exponential growth, with four iterations a month. First iteration: One makes one, total two. Second iteration: Two make two, total four. Third iteration: Four make four, total eight. Fourth iteration: Eight make eight, total sixteen. 16 vampires at the end of one month, 256 at the end of the second month, 4096 by the end of the third month, 65,536 by the end of the fourth month, 1,048,476 at the end of the fifth, and 33,572,832 vampires at the end of half a year! By way of comparison, there are currently approximately 33 million people who have HIV/AIDS in the U.S. alone, and the disease is a world-wide epidemic. I see people every day in the hospital with AIDS, but never has there been one documented case of a vampire attack. Do the math - vampires are a mathematical impossibility. As for the idea that vampires existed "a long time ago" consider the estimated global population 5,000 years ago - using the above mathematical rationale, a single vampire could have taken over and converted every human on the globe in less than ten years. This falls therefore, under the logic of Occam's Razor - which states that when you have removed every impossible answer, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Since there is no "vampiric plague" swarming the earth, the logical deduction is that they don't exist. 7. Point of clarification about "vampire" bats: vampire is simply the name we have given them because they do drink blood, same as a flea, mosquito, or spider. Are these creatures vampires? No. They are living creatures, not legendary monsters. Drinking blood does not make you a vampire anymore than eating raw meat makes you a werewolf, although it might make you a mosquito. 8.The humans who profess to be vampires are victims of an all-encompassing self induced delusion. They are as human as you or I, regardless of their claims, and if they ingest HIV tainted blood they can most certainly contract the disease, esp. if they have any cuts, sores, or lesions in and or around their mouth. It is a very dangerous delusion to be laboring under. Note that there is absolutely no scientific or medical proof that these people derive any benefit at all from the ingestion of blood, and even worse are the so-called "psychic" vampires, because their delusion is one that they cannot substantiate with any concrete evidence at all. 9. There is no "vampire" gene. When a woman goes to the hospital for prenatal care there are many tests done on mother and child, even while still in the womb, to check for many things, including genetic anomalies that result in deformities and birth defects. If such a gene existed, in today's world with today's technology it would have been found - we have already completely mapped the human chromosome strand. It would also have to follow Mendel's law of dominant/recessive gene theory. Again, the odds on that many "vampires" all escaping the notice of the medical/scientific community are so low as to be almost nonexistent. 10. There is no "vampire virus" - as I have already pointed out, HIV is a virus, and look at how fast it has spread - virtually everyone knows someone with the affliction. According to the "vampire websites" there are "thousands" of vampires running around. If that was so then at least one of them has ended up in a hospital for bloodwork when they became pregnant, had a bloodborne infection, was injured in a car wreck, etc, etc, ad nauseum. The anomaly would have been detected and medical science would have isolated it, studied it, applied for research grants on it, published papers on it, and turned it into the talk of the medical and scientific community, as well as making its "discoverers" celebrities and rich beyond their dreams. A virus cannot alter your DNA in such a radical fashion without killing you.
12 :
the only way to be a vampire is to be born as one. turning is not remotely possible. it's not a virus, and can't be spread by biting, sharing blood, kissing, sharing body fluids, or any other crackpot theory that exists. anyone who tells you otherwise is lying and looking to hurt you. http://www.sanguinarius.org/ http://www.drinkdeeplyanddream.com/ http://sphynxcatvp.nocturna.org/ http://vampirewebsite.net/thebigplan.htm... http://psychicvampire.org/index.htm
13 :
You might as well have an obsession with Jesus or the Pagan God Otis. Vampires in their mythological form do not exists. Humans that embrace a darker lifestyle and feed upon blood could be consider a version of the classical vampire. But of course when consuming any organic substance you run the risk of infection. Perhaps pigs blood may quench your thirst. Speak with your local butcher for supplies.

I want to say it's 6 months. I watch the soap opera General Hospital and there was an episode dealing with exposure to HIV and he was tested at so many months and then again later at 6 months to be sure. Sometimes it can take a while to show up. I'm sure if you search online you can find out plenty.

1 :
because a lot of money has to be spend on it from the government, helping to treat/ minimize bad effects and make sure the people with HIV and AIDS live a good life
2 :
Because 99% of those infected die without treatment because they can't afford it. Many get it in the first place due to social issues such as using drugs, getting raped, not using a condom, rape etc. It's also a social issue because individuals with it can spread it to others which someone with cancer cannot do, leading to death. It costs a lot of money to treat and those without the resources might ask the gov for help which makes it both an economic and social issue esp since insurance doesn't cover it. Someone rich like Magic Johnson can afford the meds to keep him in HIV without getting aids for 20 years so far whereas someone else without the money can die in a year so it is a big social/economic issue.

What are the latest advancements in HIV/AIDS treatment

What are the latest advancements in HIV/AIDS treatment?
I've recently been diagnosed with HIV. It seems like HIV is not the "death sentence" people once considered it, and there are people living longer and longer without getting AIDS. How is treatment for HIV/AIDS advancing? What does the future look like? Anything promising? Not just people already with the disease but possible vaccines? I have confidence I'll be around for a long time, I'm still going to college and everything. Would've been nice to have kids. So I guess you can see why I'm really hopeful about the future and interested in the latest advancements.

3 :
Nothing much really. Cure is long way to go. Don't expect of a cure in 5 yrs time. No vaccines in the near future. This is like diabetis, no cure but manageable. HIV advancement is toward less toxic drugs but we don't see the cure in the near future. However, these drugs are still toxic but less toxic as before. But here is my advise: 1. Try to choose the best and right drugs or regiments for you. This is one area that treatment advances, treating the virus to its minimal level. Drugs are a lot more convenient, you can take it once a day but mind you hiv drugs are so expensive, if you live in Canada try to choose drugs that you can reimburse thru Trilium plans - partially. Try to avoid drugs that can result to facial wasting, fat in your belly, buffalo humps, loss of fats in your ass. You can see people who has facial wasting and you know they are hiv poz but you don't want to be like them or other people know that you are poz coz you look like. I am taking once 2 tabs a nite. Be adherence in taking it. 2. Doctors know more about the virus and know how to prevent and treat oppurtunistic infections. 3. Do your own research everytime. Do your part. This is a very complex disease. I highly recommend thebody.com I know you have lots of question and most of them you can find it there. 4. Have a very good doctor that is knowledgeable and up to date. Follow your doc advise. 5. Boost your immune system. ahccresearch.com If you have more questions I'm just here. We all hope there's a cure but this disease is so highly and very technical. This will be like other virus disease like herpes, once you get it you will have it for the rest of your life - to avoid attack of herpes you need to have good immune system. I'm not saying its the same coz hiv is so different and technical. Again, do some research, your doc is not with you 24/7 and in the end it is still your own body, nobody loves your body more than you.

Why is it so impossible for scientist to really come out with the solution to HIV/AIDS

Why is it so impossible for scientist to really come out with the solution to HIV/AIDS?
Am so flabagasted to still understand that our world scientist have not still come out with the cure of HIV/AIDS. Is it they have found cure and still fool the world due to reason best known to them.

it is very difficult to find such a cure im guessing.......... i have the same question. but i guess scientists havent found it yet.
2 :
AIDS has been around for several decades now. It broke out in the U.S. in the 1980's. Cancer has been around since the dinosaurs, and there's no cure for that either. It's not exactly an easy task to find cures for diseases, even though science has advanced throughout the years and continues to advance. Hopefully, one day there will be cures for these and other diseases that devestate so many.
3 :
heres the deal a few scientist did find a vaccine for HIV /AIDS but there were some probs. it made people more susceptible to HIV and ppl who had HIV it rushed them into the aids viruse. and it was the most promising vaccine. the problem with HIV and aids is that it becomes in coded into a persons DNA also each strand is different. so they scientist have to find a cure that will work for everyone.this viruse is constantly changing and becoming more standoffish to medications to how fast how it can change it self. how ever we do know that it can be killed but unfortunatly the things that can kill the viruse will kill us as well. for exampl you cant inject bleach into someones body.
4 :
In simple Bio terms, AIDs is a virus. So there is no cure, never will be. There has never been a cure for any virus. They may some day come up with a vaccine that will prevent the spread or contracting the virus. We can only hope.
5 :
HIV changes its make up and builds resistance to antibiotics. SO the drugs 10 years ago are not even that effective of HIV now, its like it mutates, and it is hard to keep mapping out the DNA sequences ...
6 :
Because the Virus mutates so fast and there are many different strains so its very hard to pin point a actual cure.

What will be the reason for no cure to HIV AIDS

What will be the reason for no cure to HIV AIDS?
There is a theory about the beginning of HIV virus which says: government officials deliberately started(fabricated) it in laboratories and spreed it in to the population for some reason. Clearly there is no cure for AIDS until now,Then do you think for humans who are exploring the universe luck the ability to discover a cure or the theory was right? Or any idea?

Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
There is no lasting cure for HIV/AIDs because the disease mutates itself very quickly, meaning that there is no cure for it, because as soon as they create a cure for one strain, it will have mutated, making the treatment ineffective. When a disease mutates, it changes it's DNA so that it become a different type of the same disease, immune to medication that might have worked on previous strains. Another reason is because AIDs damages the immune system, meaning that the body's natural defences cannot fight off the disease. Basically, they can find a cure, but as the disease changes often, the cure will not last. It's like trying to find a cure for a cold. You probably get a cold every year, but it will be slightly different each time, otherwise they would make a vaccine against it. This is because the cold virus mutates itself frequently. Hope you understood my explanation and I wasn't too confusing
2 :
Well, HIV is like an anti-biotic produced by Gaia to get rid of viruses, thats us. Other immune systems includes volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes etc. But we're winning the battle.
3 :
well, hiv is a retrovirus. basically that causes it to be able to mutate easily. and since it does that, you can't make a medicine to cure it all. once a medicine works and then the virus will kinda die down but sooner or later it mutates and becomes resistant against the drug.
4 :
It spread too fast for it to have been done naturally?so some say.some say there is a body from 40 years ago in storage and it has the aids virus and some say it is their intention to decrease the surface population by any means.
5 :
There is a theory that HIV and AIDS does not exist at all, but all symptoms are signs of other diseases, mostly non-viral ones. So you cannot get cure for desease that does not exist or which has not a causative agent .
6 :
There is no good scientific reason to believe that there will never be a cure for HIV/AIDS. It will just be difficult. It is more likely that there will be a vaccine to prevent it rather than a total cure for those who already have it. Unfortunately, the vaccine trials have not worked out well. The theory about a government creating HIV is total hogwash. It comes from people who know nothing about the virus.
7 :
HIV becomes part of the person's DNA, it essentially becomes part of the person. Cure? I doubt it, but I've been wrong before.
8 :
one of ur answer was told what exactly i want to say but i want to say that people who are iliterated and who were no idea of spreading of hiv are majority in villages.ofcourse some are in citiesalso .they dont use any safety precautions before doing their sex.and not only this while giving injection to any ne if it already given to anybody who is suffering frm hiv .coming to hiv it changes its dna and structure .for example if u seen under electron microsope it will seen in ome type after nanoseconds it willchange its total nature .so it is difficult to find medicine to it becoz the reasearchers are not able to trace the correct structure of it .so the main thing to do is we bring awareness in villagers in india

There are two classes of drugs that work by slightly different mechanisms to destroy HIV & usually a variety or combination of drugs are given. Zidovudine & Lamivudine (Epivar ) are RTIs ( RT Inhibitors) Nelfinavir & Amprenavir are protease inhibitors use of the two types together is commonly referred to as HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) These are used to treat AIDS...there may be more recent meds in use though so someone else may be able to provide more info.
