What are evident physical signs of hiv/aids?
I get really paranoid with the idea of ever meeting someone with it and engaging in sexual acts. I need to know what are some evident signs in a person. Physically what they look like.

Unfortunately, there are none. Stay paranoid about safe sex, though. That's really your best defense.
2 :
Weight loss, and rapidly. Capozi's sarcoma which are dark aras under the skin usually seen first on the face and the forearms. Inability to fight off or frequent obreaks of infections or viruses. See a doctor or go to a clinic to ask for a free HIV test , it is totally confidential.
3 :
there really are none unless the disease is progressing. You can carry the HIV virus but not be infected by it. Use a condom no matter what!!!!
4 :
If in check they will look like anyone else. The physical manifestations of the disease take a while, depending on the strength of the immune system it could be quite a while before the virus is able to overcome the immune system and cause the symptoms associated with the virus. They will be contagous during this time however. Since HIV effects the immune system you would see manifestiation of common contagous elements. The initial infection would usualy present itself with a feever and flu like symptoms. Left unchecked you would likely see bacterial infections, thrush, kaposi's sarcoma, chanchor sores, dermatitus, TB, herpies, and waisting. The look test is not going to help you untill they progress pretty far. If you have any reason to be concerned use protection and know your partner well.
5 :
just get to know someone and don't fool around with just anybody. lord only knows whose got what nowadays. be safe out there.

Try to imagine ... horrific is an, applicable word. On UNICEF, see the 1200 number of orphans and realize it's thousands - so, 1.25 million. The Wikipedia website gives information for you to consider re some food items. You, apparently, didn't see the World Vision telecast which, I seem to recall, was mid-December. The Republic of South Africa has, until fairly recently, attempted to hide the correct statistics by publishing information based upon specific groups living within the country. With so many families affected, some villages may have 25-30% of the children under 15, counted among the orphans. When a community is living in severe poverty, not much can be found in the rubbish-heap. Americans have their stomach turn when someone mentions eating worms, or roaches, but for millions across the world, these provide some degree of protein. If you and 3 friends each saved 25c a day, you could sponsor a World Vision child who has been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Many charities spend as much as 50% on self-maintenance - WV spends 14%. This is not a solicitation - is info' only as I contribute to Heifer International (last year bought half a water buffalo, chickens and ducks). Goats are good for a gift to Africa and your parents might prefer you buy most of the shares for a goat, in their name, ($120 for 100% of the goat) than have you get them gifts throughout the year. Sorry - appears I haven't been too helpful ... perhaps you might call your local library to ask where to search. There are many usgov sites which should have info' for you as well as newspaper archives - see last two: the Telegraph and Times are best; is a dozen years since I subscribed to the Int'l Herald Tribune ... used to be good.

I believe I've read that the top HIV/AIDS doctor (Dr. Anthony Fauci ) says that a new drug that prevents the virus from entering the vulnerable cells is the best treatment.
