Question 1

what can you do to prevent hiv/aids and pregnancy during sex?

Accepted Answer

Condoms: Condoms have been used for centuries and they still provide the best, albeit not 100 % protection from sexually transmitted infections and from pregnancy.

Question 2

can you tell me what is hiv aids in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

A disaster...: Not really.  Hiv in pregnancy is similar to HIV in non-pregnant persons except that pregnancy suppresses our immune system and the virus can be more aggressive if untreated.  The major issue is the other life that is affected and the concern for mother to child transmission.  We have persons with aids now having children with very low risk for transmission if they are on haart and followed closely.

Question 3

what is worse for the next generation - teen pregnancy + stds, hiv/aids + homosexuality?

Accepted Answer

Predictions: All of the above have been around for generations except for HIV (1981).  Homosexuality is only a problem of intolerance,  which is one of the world's major problems, causing religious, social, economic and other conflicts.  If i could predict what the next generation will find threatening perhaps i could also invest more wisely.

Question 4

doctor please i want to know  wether if it is possible for a man to contact hiv aids even though if he is using condom during the act?

Accepted Answer

No: If condom use appropriate manner than no chance to get HIV  virus.

Question 5

how expensive is it to live with hiv/aids?

Accepted Answer

Very expensive: Health-wise it can set up for other things, including some cancers and opportunistic infections.  Financially, the medications used to treat HIV and aids are, usually, very pricey.

Question 6

i have hiv/aids early symptoms, what to do?

Accepted Answer

GET TESTED!!: If you believe that you have early HIV disease you should tell your doctor so you can be tested and if positive started on haart immediately.  We know that treating acute retroviral syndrome with haart decreases the damage done to the immune system from hiv.  Get tested!

Question 7

how can hiv/aids influence public relations?

Accepted Answer

Should be no effect: Most persons with HIV do not even know they are infected.  Most not infected with HIV do not know if the person next to them has HIV or not.  This means that we should consider all persons as potential infectious unless we know their status.  That means protection at all times: condoms, no sharing needles, don't put yourself in a situation where you may be at risk (drugs/alcohol). Be smart!

Question 8

which gender is more at risk for contracting hiv/aids?

Accepted Answer

Neither: Neither gender is more at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS. It depends more on what risk behavior someone is engaging in. Thus, if someone is having unprotected sex or sharing needles, then this person is at higher risk for contracting HIV (whether the person is a male or female) than someone who is not engaging in these risky activities.

Question 9

is it true that hiv/aids medication has been discovered?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are very effective treatments available now but there are no cures.

Question 10

what happens to the person who - one day - cures hiv/aids.?

Accepted Answer

Win the Nobel Prize: He/she will probably win the nobel prize for medicine.
