HIV info,
Quote From: loulou_22Hi, I have a friend who is H. I. V positive but in remission, so shesays and she has 2 beatiful boys who are tested every so often, they are very young, any way she recently slept with one of my friends who dosent know I know, She says they used protection and Iam just scared for them both I have never been close to any one who has this and Idont believe in treating her any diffrent than any of my other friends, But I give her a hug alot, and she gets real close to my face, Do I have any thing to worry about? I really dont think i do but i still want to ask andalso what does remminssion mean any way does that mean she will beat it or its just under control temporary? Any one have any info on this please......... I am a certified Red Cross HIV/AIDS Prevention and Education instructor. HIV does not go into remission. Once you test positive you will always be positive and can spread the HIV to someone else. This done by sharing certain body fluids or by sharing dirrty needles for drug use, both illicit or medically necessary. This disease strikes anyone, regardless of sexual orientation, race, religion or gender. It is carried in the blood, sexual fluids both male and female, mother's milk. You cannot get it from casual contact. You can safely share silverware, plates and glasses without a worry. You MUST NOT have blood contact with an infected person . If that person bleeds from anywhere and it gets into your blood stream you will probably get infected. Hugging and getting close to their face is safe. Even though your friend says she is in remission, she should not have sexual relatiions without proper protection. Abstinence is safest.
