Of course! In fact, I think regular doctors enjoy the std stuff 'cause its more interesting.
2 :
yes you sure can but ask first if they have hiv tresting.
3 :
Yes, and please do, if you think you may have something! Save yourself, and others, a lot of misery!
4 :
Yes, but the doctor will only take your medical history, do a physical exam, and write an order for you to go to a clinical laboratory to get such tests done.
5 :
Your question is reciprocal in nature. A doctor cannot analyze your Hiv case without some kind of testing done. Traditionally, see a doctor first and then get a prescription from the doctor to get tested for HIV. The doctor will prescribe all types of testing you needed to do. If you are afraid of getting charged high medical bill on your first doctors appointment, go ahead and get your hiv test done and then visit a doctor with the result. That way, you are kinda using one stone to kill two birds at a time. My last sentence is idiomatic, hope you grab. Good luck and test negative!!
6 :
Yes. Most general practictioners will do testing. Mine asked me if I wanted it. You might also try a family doctor aside from going to a testing clinic. But whatever place you choose, DO get tested... you are doing the right thing. STD testing is done separate lab as a overall test from HIV/AIDS, but if you are afraid of needles like I am, they will do it all with just one stick. If the doc asks u if you want AIDS/HIV done, tell them yes and do both types of testing.
7 :
Sure. But, a testing center will keep your results anonymous. The Doc's keep it confidential, they are very strict about giving any information , unless it's another Medical Professional that is providing additional care based on your results IE: Infectious Disease Specialist.

a cure would be good

good

Good

How would a cure for a disease ever be bad?
6 :
Bad - bigger population. Good - People don't suffer
7 :
mabey you like the hiv's company
8 :
it wou;ld be good in fact a man well two made a cure and the police arrested them why?? because they dont want people getting cured the scienctist mad e this diesaeas to kill off black peolple i know tm info
9 :
For the humanity it would be good. But then again we would have all these extra mouths to feed. That means more starvation.
10 :
Without aids, how else are we supposed to keep the black race in line?
11 :
it COULD be possbily bad because then they're population would increase dramatically, creating even more of a poor country than it already is. They would then need more aid and supplies from other countries who, in the current economy, would not have the support to give them. There's probably more good than bad reasons..so I wanted to give you a bad one
12 :
what?!?! thousand die in Africa daily because of it what kind of question is that?
13 :
it is a deseade that ,will never be able to be cured ? so people stop having sex and being herion addicts . stupid man having sex with an Ape honestly ?. so it would be nice but the population will be fineish ? for now
14 :
do you not know how many people have aids??? and how many people die and how many people get aids a year?? lots and lots and lots...... if there was a cure you know how many people would be living and stuff.... theres good and bad because there would be an even more overpopulated world but still i think it would be way better that there was a cure!!!
15 :
The population would suddenly rise very fast and the whole world would die from starvation, or there would be another war. That's the extreme side to it. If the cure is made accesible for everyone. But when there is a cure people might even fight to attain that cure. And maybe the west will make poor people pay a hell of a lot. Sometimes nature needs to do its part. People have to die, we are too many on this earth. I say we just limit our offspring and educate the third world countries while we at the same time limit our energy consumptions by biking to work and school rather than drive. The people who are fit enough for the task will survive, the other will get selected as outcasts, its nature at its best. Darwinistic evolution. Survival of the fittest. Go nature, down with human drugs :D
16 :
i think they have a cure but i also think that the reason why they wont exploit it out to the world cause soooo many kids now-a-days are having sex like its candy. for instance now theres like 9 yr olds (believe or not) losing their V's. thats horrible. im no saint but cmon at such a yung age? also its just like some stds out there. kids think since they have a cure for it - it doesnt bother them as much if they do end up getin an std cus theyll say " ehhh they have a cure so who cares" they wont value them selfs as much as some or most do now when it comes to thinking twice on who u sleep with. also ppl are afraid of over population. so its all in abuse of having a cure that later on if they do have one ppl wont take it as serious as they are now. cmon the technology we have these days i think anything is possible. thats just my opinion though
17 :
There is already a cure for it. It's only for the wealthy.. ie:magic johnson any normal person with hiv would of been dead or really really close to it. So it's all bull really. There is a cure.. if they were to leak it out they would have to find ways to serve everyone who cant afford it and then they would end up losing money. They don't want to share with the small people. It would cost too much to mass produce it for people who cant even afford it. Therefore a cure would be bad because they would keep it under wraps and everyone would be lied to. Imagine how many people would fuss over it?? riots and i'm sure it would resort to killing people. so it's bad to have it and have it hidden. Plus imagine how many people would run amuck knowing that they can do what ever they want with out any risks because they would get treated after? It wont be taken seriously, and more and more people would become affected. THen we would run out of the resources that is needed to be in the cure all. Bad idea.. leave as is.
18 :
It would cause a dramatic rise in juvenile pregnancies (as happened when cures for things like syphilis became generally available). Fear is the only thing that keeps at least a lot of people from banging every bit of meat that crosses their way. As such a lack of a cure probably also prevents a lot of people from fooling around outside their marriages, something that is extremely traumatic for the kids. And in Africa AIDS acts as a major means to keep the population down, preventing wars, famine, and a mass influx of refugees to Europe and Asia. By wiping out stupid people who do bang everything of the other sex (and sometimes same sex) it also helps increase the intelligence of the human race. It also reduces the number of slaves available to Arab slavetraders (and the market demand for African slaves in Arab countries). Last but not least it may prevent some people from turning into rapists. So overall it's a good thing there's no cure for it.
19 :
well how the fuck would it be a bad idea?? No offence but it's kind of a no brainer
20 :
Honestly it would be good for the people that have HIV for a cure to be invented. However disease is natures way of killing people off. Population control, it has always been and will always be its sad people have to die but without death really what kind of lives would we lead? Think about it.
21 :
It would be nothing but good. Insanity saying that AIDS is tolerable as a means of population control! Perhaps those who are proponents of the slow death of people in poverty-stricken nations should do the charitable thing and off themselves, thus ridding the world of its burden of surplus population. The best way to prevent overpopulation is not to sit back and let people die, but improve education and provide effective birth control. When a country's economic status improves, birth rates fall. The result is a higher standard of living for the people and less overpopulation. Sub-Saharan Africa has difficulty increasing education and incomes partially because of AIDS, which has ravaged the population, killing those in their prime. Successfully treat or prevent HIV infections and standards of living will eventually rise.
22 :
Cass if you actually did your research you would not have made the unfounded comment about sex with an ape, as the HIV virus is suspected from coming from the Green monkey not an ape and is about the size of an average house cat, therefore it was not from sex with the animal, but rather because the animal was used as a source of food and the virus spread during the cleaning or butchering of the animal when the man cut himself. Any cure would be good, but also bad because it would create a situation that would promote carelessness and increased spreading of the disease until everyone has either been cured or vaccinated for HIV.

Is it true or not that HIV/AIDS is a disease of poverty? If so, in what ways do they contribute to poverty

Is it true or not that HIV/AIDS is a disease of poverty? If so, in what ways do they contribute to poverty?
Argument I am having with co-worker.

1 :
no aids does nto discriminate on anyone in the whole entire world can get aids hell maybe the president even has it >im nto sayin he does im sayion he could< so no your question is wrong its nto a poverty disease
2 :
I do not think that HIV/AIDS only happens to poor people. Magic Johnson = not poor and has HIV.
3 :
NOT TRUE AT ALL. They do not contribute to poverty. If you have HIV/AIDS and don't have medical care - you are up the creek without a paddle. If you have medical care - then you can afford some treament. Plenty of rich people get HIV and AIDS - it's about participating in those risky behaviours that spread it - not about economics.
4 :
Well, it could be if the person doesn't have money or sources to get a condom, OR indeed to get the education they need. Think of all the people in Africa who have it. I bet education and sources are passing them by.
5 :
HIV does not discriminate against any financial level. BUT, if some one is living in poverty there is not much if any extra money for activities or medical care, so there is a lot more free time for sex and drugs. And where there is sex and drug use there are STDs/HIV, especially if there is not enough money to put food on the table, condoms are not going to be purchased. And people are willing to trade sex for drugs. So in some ways poverty can add to the higher rates of STDs and HIV. But working with HIV+ people there are a lot of people that have lots of money that also have STDs and HIV.
6 :
HIV isn't, but AIDS is. confused? well let me explain. if you found out you have HIV and have money to get the best nutrition, you can never get AIDS so you continue to live long and healthy like magic Johnson, but if you don't hve money.........if you are poverty, you will get AIDS
7 :
The demographics of AIDS worldwide is largely related to poverty. Poverty is not a cause - impoverished nations lack the infrastructure to provide education about AIDS and STDs in general, they lack medical testing and treatment, and in many poor nations, a condom can't be found anywhere within a hundred miles. In some African nations there are so many people with AIDS that the entire gross national product of the nation is not enough to pay for the medical care, and there are fewer and fewer workers healthy enough to work. Within a nation such as the US, there is a tendency toward higher rates of HIV toward lower incomes primarily because one of the largest groups of people with HIV are IV drug users, which are people that usually can't hold a steady job. If you remove the IV drug users from the equation, racial and cultural demographics outweigh income.
8 :
With that theory, you are saying that only poor people engage in sexual activity. We both know that isn't true.
9 :
HIV/AIDS is very prevalent in the African American community. They make up about 60% of new infections while only constituting 13% of the population. African Americans also have the highest rates of poverty, so maybe you are equating these two facts. A person is probably more likely to engage in risky behavior if they are in poverty and have a lower education level. Treating HIV/AIDS is definitely difficult to do if you are in poverty. For obvious reasons, it's expensive!
