AIDs died out

Would be possible to get rid of HIV/AIDs if all the people with HIV/AIDs died out?
Or would it somehow reappear?

I think you can cure anything no matter what it is as long as you believe in yourself. Please answer mine http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgByY6uDdNQz9Se9yGzCtqjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100829110645AAlexGx

"Would be possible to get rid of HIV/AIDs if all the people with HIV/AIDs died out?" -- No. All primates with SIV would have to die too. "Or would it somehow reappear?" -- We theorize that HIV originated from SIV. As long as SIV exists, the possibility for another HIV would also exist.

I would say, yes. Although HIV originated from Simian Immunodeficiency virus, which exists in monkeys and apes, it was able to cross species-species barrier only 3 times (lineages, M, N, O). Only M caused pandemic. It was extremely rare event. HIV-1 originated from chimpanzee's SIV. There are a handful of chimpanzees in the wild that have this virus. Other SIVs are very different and to successefully establish themselves in human population they have to change even more drastically than SIVcpz did. HIV-2 from sooty mangabeys crossed the barrier but did not cause pandemic. SIV contaminates human blood when people hunt monkeys and apes for food or slaughtering them as agricultural pests. If this practice ceases there will be even less chance for virus to reappear.
5 :
HIV-1 disappears if all carriers die. There is a wrinkle with HIV-it is very unlikely that it ever happens because many people who carry HIV will never get sick and diagnosed. They live as they never have been infected. They may serve as reservoir for virus for centuries to come. 1 There were viruses that went extinct because they were so virulent that they killed some population and themselves with it. 2 There are many viruses that co-evolved with us so that they are getting so suppressed in our body that they are always dormant and we never even know that there are there until we are immunocompromized. 3 Many viruses left DNA "fossils" in our genome. They passed stage two and they are extinct. HIV-1 goes by route 2. It may take million+ years to reach the co-evolution stage similar to that between apes and SIV- high viral load with no overt illness and another million+ years - general dormancy with rare outbreaks (like Herpes), and another million+ years-dormancy with almost no outbreaks (Eipsein-Barr), and another million+ years - extinction.

can you catch someone no one has?

No.
4 :
no, don't be stupid
5 :
what the hell are you talking about....I'd be more worried about ABO incompatibilities.
6 :
no, one of you HAS to be infected for the other one to get it.
7 :
what???? no negative means they do not have it..
8 :
noooooooooo they have to have it for you 2 get it
9 :
No..neither of them have HIV so how would it just magically appear?
10 :
Simple answer = NO,
11 :
no
12 :
no, but why would anyone do that, you freaks.
13 :
no they bothe dont have hiv how can you get it?
14 :
Yes because two negatives make a positive. You guys are so screwed!
15 :
If both are HIV negative, then no there is no way for their blood mixing to cause HIV/AIDS. However it is still not a smart idea because there are more blood born pathogens than HIV
16 :
Ah, no! If that were the case every baby would be born with aids and every person who has sex without a condom would have aids so no!
17 :
if theyre both HIV negative, theres no way that they will get HIV or AIDS. tell your friend to think.
18 :
Science says "absolutely not". Someone would have to have hiv to give it to someone else, it doesn't magically appear out of no where. Like, if your friend doesn't have the flu and you don't have the flu, would you two being together give you the flu? No.
19 :
no. but i heard that when two retards rub their bodies together, it produces questions like this.
20 :

( - )( - ) = ( + )
22 :
Depends. If one of the of the people's blood has exchanged with a third parties' blood recently, then it is highly likely if that person had exchanged with another person and another person and another person. So in lamest terms, if the person was a slut or slept with a slut, the chances of getting hiv are extremely high. Btw, it would be hiv. Hiv and aids are commonly confused with each other. With hiv, a person can live a normal life if they take their medicine and live righteous up to another 30 yrs from being diagnosed. With full blown aids, a person dies within a week from contracting it.
23 :
No. HIV (virus that can lead to AIDS) is not created or caused by mixing 2 people's blood together. You can not get HIV from someone who does not have HIV.

A degree such as biomedical science, biology, genetics etc would be the most appropriate. Your salary will depend on what country you are in and what type of area you end up working in but I think in general science salaries are fairly modest.
