Can you get AIDS from blood to blood contact through a person that is not infected with the AIDS HIV virus?

Question

can someone give me hard facts that this is not possible because my idiot friend is so sure that the HIV virus is created when you mix two types of blood together even if they are both HIV negative. I know that the only way you can get AIDS is by being in direct contact with bodily fluids of another person that is infected with the HIV virus.

Answer 1

HIV/AIDs is a virus..  you can only get it from contact with infected bodily fluids (blood, s***n, vaginal discharge, etc)

If a person does not have the HIV/AIDS virus, then its impossible to get it from them.

If you recieve a blood transfusion that is not a compatable type, your body will reject it.. it can make you sick.. but it doesnt cause AIDS.

Answer 2

Tom you are right, your friend needs to do some research. I sure as heck he does not want to become a doctor.

Answer 3

You are right and your dumbass friend is wrong.

I don't even want to think about how the public school system is failing him.

Answer 4

No, it is impossible to create AIDS like that ; however, you can get hepatitis like that.

Answer 5

You are correct.   Your friend is wrong.  Having unprotected s*x with someone who is not infected, or being in direct contact with   blood  (that is, it gets into your bloodstream) that is not infected, can not cause you to be infected.  

HIV is transmitted by unprotected s*x with an infected person, direct contact with infected blood, such as sharing needles for drug use, it can be transmitted from a woman to her baby during birth, and it is found in breast milk.  

It is not transmitted by saliva, and it is not transmitted by casual contact (touching or hugging an infected person, or shaking hands,  for example.).  

One problem with HIV is that it rarely has any symptoms soon after infection.  Antibodies to the virus usually show up on HIV tests within 3 months, but in extremely rare cases, it can take up to 6 months for the antibodies to show up on tests.  This means that if a person gets tested too soon, they may test negative, but in reality be HIV+ and capable of infecting others.

Answer 6

You can't get AIDS from someone who doesn't HAVE AIDS. It's still not a good idea to mix blood though, you could get other diseases.

Answer 7

Hahah of course that's not possible! If that were the case, EVERYONE would have AIDS. Tell your friend he's an idiot.

Answer 8

Ask your friend this:  How do you figure you can get any disease from someone who doesn't have it???

Blood types have nothing whatsoever to do with disease transmission.

Now tell your friend that a Registered Nurse laughed her a** off when she read about his HIV theory.

Answer 9

you would be correct.

please tell your friend to go read a book!

Answer 10

HIV infection most commonly occurs through sexual contact. However, the virus can also be spread through blood-to-blood contact -- such as sharing needles or blood transfusions involving unscreened blood. Studies have shown that HIV is not transmitted through casual contact such as touching or sharing towels, bedding, utensils, telephones, swimming pools, or toilet seats. Scientists have also found no evidence of transmission through kissing, sweat, tears, urine or f***s. It is important to acknowledge that it is not s*x that transmits HIV, but certain bodily fluids: blood, s***n (including "pre-***"), vaginal secretions and breast milk. High-risk behaviors that can result in HIV transmission are sharing needles for drugs, tattoos, body piercing, vitamins or steroids with an HIV-infected person and/or engaging in unprotected anal, vaginal or oral s*x with a person who is HIV infected. The virus also can be transmitted from an HIV-infected mother to her child through pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding.

It does appear that persons already infected with a sexually transmitted disease are more susceptible to acquiring HIV during s*x with an infected partner. Mucous membranes, a weak point in the skin, include the lips, mouth, v****a, v***a, p***s or r****m. Because mucous membranes are porous and viruses and other pathogens are able to pass through, these areas are rich in immune cells. When a person already has a sexually transmitted disease, s*x organs may be flooded with CD4+T cells, making it much easier for HIV to infect.

The only way to determine HIV infection is to be tested for the virus. It is not unusual for HIV-infected persons to experience symptoms years after the initial infection; some may be symptom free for over 10 years. However, during the asymptomatic period, the virus is actively multiplying and destroying cells in the immune system, weakening the body's ability to fight infection. The effect is most keenly observed in the decline of the immune system's key infection fighters in the blood, the CD4+T cells. There are medical treatments that can reduce the rate at which HIV disables the immune system; early detection offers more options for treatment and preventative care. As a matter of safety, people who engage in high-risk behaviors -- such as intravenous drug use or having unprotected s*x with multiple partners -- should be tested regularly.
