How do you get full blown AIDS?
HIV spreads through contact with infected bodily fluids. Sex and sharing needles are the two main ways HIV is transmitted. Body fluids that may contain and transmit HIV include pre-ejaculate, semen, blood, vaginal fluid, breast milk, and rectal mucus.
Is full blown AIDS contagious?
The virus, called HTLV-3, may remain latent as long as 10 years. HTLV-3 apparently causes at least several different types of disease, ranging from fever and swelling of glands to full-blown AIDS. People may unknowingly carry the virus and suffer no symptoms, yet pass it to someone else.
Can you get AIDS from someone else?
How does someone become infected? HIV can be spread through any type of unprotected sex (oral, vaginal, or anal) if one of the partners has the virus. This can happen when body fluids such as semen (cum), vaginal fluids, or blood from an infected person get into the body of someone who is not infected.
How long does it take to develop full blown AIDS?
HIV infection, however, takes a very long time to develop into full blown AIDS. The virus begins to replicate in the body within the CD4 cells and begins to destroy the immunity. The time taken for development of AIDS from HIV infection may range from 6 months (very rare) to 15 years.
Can viruses pass through condoms?
Laboratory testing shows that condoms are impermeable to viruses, but protection rates are lower in real-world studies. Condoms can only protect against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if used correctly.
Can you get an STD from just rubbing?

Can you get an STD while using protection?

Can you get STD from dry sperm?
