You can't catch AIDS. You catch HIV, and you can progress to AIDS. kinda like having a cold and progressing to the Flu. now with HIV once your t cells (white- blood cells) reach below 200 then you are considered to have AIDS
There are three ways to get HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS, but the most common ones are unprotected sex (vaginal, anal, oral), sharing needles, and mother to child transmission (during birth or through breast-feeding).
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop a condition known as AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) AIDS is not contagious, but a result of advanced HIV infection.
HIV is transmitted by contact with infected body fluids. Only four body fluids contain enough HIV to transmit infection: Blood, Semen, Vaginal Fluid and Breast Milk.
It is impossible to "catch" AIDS. AIDS is not a contagious infection, rather a diagnosis.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Sydrome). HIV is transmitted through contact with another person's infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.
After a person has been infected with HIV, their body's immune system can weaken over time. After a person has reached certain clinical criteria of immune deficiency, they will receive and AIDS diagnosis.
Two biggest ways:
1. Unprotected sex with someone who has had multiple partners who also have unprotected sex. So in other words, being very slutty whether you are a man or a woman.
2. Sharing needles for use of drugs.
There are many other ways people will contract HIV which leads to AIDS, but those are the two biggest ones. Not everybody who has it is a slut or a druggie, but that is the largest majority. Dirty sex and dirty needles.
Direct or indirect contact with HIV infested body fluids such as blood, pre-cum, semen, vaginal fluids, cerebrospinal fluid, fluids in and around the heart & abdomen, and breast milk. Bottom line for most people they get HIV by having unprotected sex and sharing needles. You can not get HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, by casual contact such as shaking hands, hugging or breathing the same air.
Sex, injection, transfusion, birth, accidental needle stick, possibly oral sex but not conclusive.
You catch HIV first because HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
No, only humans and monkey's can catch HIV. (HIV in monkey's has a different name)
The way you catch HIV is by having sex with someone who has HIV or AIDS. It has nothing to do with whether or not your pubic hair is dry. Read more here: * http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_is_HIV_transmitted
HIV is easier to catch through broken skin than through intact skin, but you can still avoid HIV by not having genital-genital contact with someone who has HIV.
No.No you can not catch HIV from sweat.
Mosquito's do not transmit HIV.
