is it possible to contract hiv or aids from drinking after someone who most likely has it?

Question

Can you get hiv/aids for sucking your partners nipples and drinking the milk from her breast?

Answer 1

See below: While the risk is fairly low it is possible so why place yourself at risk.

Answer 2

I say "no": During the years when there was no effective treatment for hiv, household contacts simply did not catch the virus. Sharing utensils, glasses, the chalice in church and so forth are important to me. Stop worrying about an impossible scenario and get on with enjoying life and friendship.

Answer 3

HIV is hard to get: Nope. There is zero risk. And that answer is 100% sincere and accurate. Hiv is not transmitted casually. It does not survive on 'objects' if it is present. It is not caught from saliva or from kissing. In the whole world there is no reported case of HIV transmission through casual contact.

Answer 4

CD4 count, illnesses: Hiv (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes aids (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The amount of cd4+ t cells decreases over the course of HIV infection. When the CD4 count falls below 200 cells/mm3, the patient is considered to have aids. Also, if the patient has an "aids defining illness, " such as pcp (a type of pneumonia), they are considered to have progressed to aids.

Answer 5

Infection severity: There are several differences between HIV and aids. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes progressive destruction of the immune system. As the immune system declines, a person can get one of 20+ opportunistic infections associated with acquired immund deficiency syndrome (aids). A person can also have aids if their CD4 or t-cell count (marker of immune function) is <200.

Answer 6

HIV causes AIDS: Hiv is a virus (human immunodeficiency virus). One has HIV for many years, untreated, before one develops aids. If you think you may have been exposed to hiv, its best to be tested as soon as possible, even if you are not having any symptoms. It is best to treat HIV as early as possible, far before it develops into aids.

Answer 7

HIV: Hiv serology (antibody test) is highly sensitive/specific repeated eia test (serology) of initially reactive specimen is a common practice and is followed by westeren blot analysis to confirm the antibodies. In infants upto 18 months maternal antibodies transfer through placenta may not represent true infection in an infant. Hiv PCR test has high sensitivity and sensitivity.

Answer 8

CD4+ cell counts.: The cd4+ t cell or t-helper cell count is measured to determine the competance of an infected patient's immune system. This is correlated well with the clinical manifestations of aids. If the count is <200/ul, there is high risk of pneumocystis carinii infection. If <100/ul, theres can be cmv, or mycobacterium avium-intracellulare. Some places measure t4/t8 ratio counts.

Answer 9

Virus v disease: Aids is the manifestation of advanced HIV infection. The HIV virus destroys certain immune cells, cd4+ t-cells, and when those t-cell numbers get too low, the infected person begins to get unusual illnesses. This syndrome of illnesses is called aids. Straight people get HIV too.
