Aids virus cannot survive outside human system or It needs blood to survive, but if blood is mixed with water then AIDS virus cannot survive. If blood is added to water then any and all blood cells will burst in water because of osmosis. The cells will take water from surrounding and swell up and burst. Some bacteria will survive in water if water is contaminated with feces. So always boil water before drinking.

All viruses are OBLIGATE INTRACELLULAR Microorganisms.. They need to be inside cells to survive, and AIDS is not an exception... They need CELL to CELL transfer.. so the exposure of AIDS virus in the environment will ultimately kill it...

No. Even though HIV/AIDS is an extremely dangerous virus, it is also very weak and vulnerable. It has a great deal of trouble surviving outside the human body. It survives in blood as that is its natural medium, but would not survive in water.

excellent question !
2 :
Not likely as such. Blood upon contact with regular water actually ruptures. Due to osmotic imbalance, the cells break open and release their contents, thus forming the bright red colours. If blood was put into a saline solution with the same osmotic pressure, you will see that blood is actually cloudy because the cells are suspended instead. If the blood cells rupture in the water, and carry HIV/AIDS, I don't know enough if they will survive in that environment or if similar things will happen.
3 :
I don't think so, and i don't think there is nearly enough to infect us. However, the virus itself is absolutely miniscule. Why are you worried?
4 :
If this were possible don't you think we would all be infected by now? You are talking about dumping large amounts as in thousands of gallons of blood into the water supply at some point. which would have to be done by some kind of terrorist group. You thinking about doing something like this?
5 :
no.HIV is a non- water loving virus!

How high is the possibility of acquiring HIV/AIDS when using condom during oral sex

How high is the possibility of acquiring HIV/AIDS when using condom during oral sex?
Tow hich degree does it protect from the infection?Is the protection complete?

1 :
Its difficult to get it orally anyway even without a condom but no fluid transfer means zero risk. So the answer is extremely slim.
2 :
pretty much zero to one when wearing a condom, but i wouldnt chance it, especially if the person has hiv, cause condoms can break
3 :
Pretty safe, however life doesn't come with any guarantees.
4 :
Well you can get it from kissing if the person has an open sore or cut in thier mouth. Umm.. if you have oral sex either that person doing to you or you doing it to them.. if there is any kinda sore somewhere then you could get it.
5 :
Think about what you are getting from performing this very risky act. Love, respect, honor or money. If it's money then the risk is higher than the reward. I have a neighbor that insists that he cannot spread Hep C to the neighbors he is wife swaping with,,, lol Because his Hep C is dormant, wrong, he is still infectous. Rubbers are not 100% preventitive in passing disease to anyone during any sex act.
6 :
3% of getting STD when using a condom.
7 :
WHAT?

How do heterosexual men become infected with HIV-AIDS through sexual relationships

How do heterosexual men become infected with HIV-AIDS through sexual relationships?
We know how homosexual men can catch it and how heterosexual women get it, but how does a straight man become infected with it through sex?

1 :
Heterosexual men get it the same way homosexual men do. It is not a disease that picks and chooses who it infects. Anyone who has sex with someone who has HIV or AIDs will get the virus. It is spread through semen, vaginal fluids, and blood.
2 :
http://cdc.gov
3 :
HIV/AIDS is passed through having unprotected sex. Both straight and homosexual couples have sex, it's just a little different between the two. Straight people can get HIV/AIDS too. All it takes is for one person to have it in a sexual relationship to pass it on.

How does hiv aids happens to first person

How does hiv aids happens to first person?
i know that aids can spread from infected person to normal person but i want to know how it happens to first person

1 :
If you mean "how did the first ever person catch AIDS" - we don't really know. It is thought that it may have come from being contaminated with the blood of "jungle meat" such as chimpanzees and large apes. Another theory is that it was actually created in a vaccine which was produced in chimpanzees and was tested on gay men and African men.
2 :
Firstly, AIDS does not spread. HIV spreads. AIDS, defined as having a CD4 count below 200 or an opportunistic infection, is a RESULT of HIV. The virus originated in Africa. Hunting for monkeys is violent, and exposes both the monkey and the human to blood (the blood of the hunted monkey entered accidental cuts of the hunter).
3 :
First person got HIV from primate infected with SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus). By accident and because primates are very close to humans physiologically, the virus was able to establish infection in the person despite of being primate-specific. This is the first step! Probably the person later developed AIDS. Second step involves viral mutation that allows the virus to transmit from person to person and establish infection in all subsequently infected individuals. According to molecular evidence HIV crossed primate-human barrier in early 20th century. When pandemic was detected - all initially infected persons were likely to be dead and nobody knows who they were. Three hypotheses of global pandemic exist: 1.The virus was transmitted to humans in the 1800s or early 1900s. It then would have remained isolated in a small, local human population until about 1930s, when it began spreading to other human populations and to diversify (Transmission Early Hypothesis). 2.The virus was transmitted from chimpanzees to humans around 1930, and immediately began to spread and diversify in human populations (Transmission Causes Epidemic Hypothesis). 3.Multiple strains of SIV were transmitted from chimpanzees to humans in the 1940s or 1950s (Parallel Late Transmisson Hypothesis).

Where can I find REAL PROOF that Ashley Tisdale had HIV Aids

Where can I find REAL PROOF that Ashley Tisdale had HIV Aids?

it's completely a RUMOR!! there is a group that wants to get back at Ashley for recording a remake of their favorite song. here's something they said: by Anonymous @ 07 Jun 2008 02:36 am You want to know how it all started? Well, Ashley remade a song claimed by Anonymous - Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” and decided to strike back. Part of this was the spreading of the rumor that Ashley is HIV positive. The next rumor to be spread will be something along the lines of the fact that Disney is attempting to cover up the fact that she has a horrible drug habit and got it through there. You may also see some videos popping up on YouTube from people purporting to be HIV+ and stating that it is deplorable that Ashley is denying herself being HIV+, that it will scare off other teens from getting tested, etc. Just a heads up for you all. as you can see, they say that it IS a rumor that they started. and they'll be starting more. :( but yeah there you go
