Although a large number of aids is controlled by safe sex by the use of condoms, due to awareness at large scale abut aids have decreased its dangers, but still some time due to a small mistake aids get you, The new technique is still the old, you go with the hunger of sex and just never think before sex what you can get without using the condoms or to whom you gona do the sex, so this is the most important thing you must keep in mind, Although its also a truth that sex is only like a excitement which can't be stopped and as you try to avoid it would not be avoided it would become even more hungry, there are tips and safe ways, so you must keep checking because A simple, confidential blood test, available from your doctor or a health department, can determine if you are HIV-positive. Remember that it can take up to six months after infection for HIV antibodies to develop, and the virus can be transmitted even before antibodies have developed.
Researchers believe that most people who are HIV-positive will eventually develop AIDS. Although there are treatments for some of the symptoms of AIDS, there is currently no cure, and it is apparently always fatal.
Symptoms of HIV Infection and AIDS
The early symptoms of HIV infection are like flu symptoms that won't go away. Common symptoms are:
• Rapid, unexplained weight loss
• Persistent unexplained fever and night sweats
• Persistent severe fatigue
• Persistent diarrhea
• Swelling of glands in neck, armpits, or groin
As the immune system deteriorates, a variety of other symptoms may appear, including:
• Unusual sores on the skin or in the mouth; white patches in the mouth
• Increased outbreaks of cold sores
• Unexplained shortness of breath and dry cough
• Severe numbness or pain in the hands and feet
• Personality change or mental deterioration
• Unusual cancers and infections
These symptoms are caused by many illnesses other than HIV infection or AIDS. However, if any symptom develops or persists without a good explanation, especially if your behavior puts you at risk of HIV infection, call your doctor.

HIV Patient? what you should do?
UPDATED HIV Infections and AIDS
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV destroys the immune system, so that it is impossible for the body to fight off disease or even minor illnesses, and it is so deadly that in days it take the life, so far after cancer HIV is declared the deadliest disease in whole world, Specially in African countries and India its ratio is rising greatly, Cultural believes and religious creeds also help to avoid HIV, for example in Muslims this disease is obsolete, Because it’s a great sin to do sex without marriage, I don’t say no one in Muslims have HIV, It can be but in those who don’t practice or care about their religion which strictly prohibits to do sex without marriage.
AIDS is the last phase in HIV disease, when the body is unable to fight a disease or infection.
A person is said to be HIV-positive if antibodies to the virus are detected in his or her blood. It may take up to six months after infection for the antibodies to appear. Someone who is HIV-positive may appear to be healthy for 10 years or longer before the symptoms of AIDS develop.
HIV is not spread by mosquitoes, toilet seats, being coughed on by an infected person, casual contact with someone who is HIV-positive or who has AIDS, or by donating blood.
Because all blood has been tested for HIV since 1985, the risk of getting the virus from blood or blood products is extremely low.
HIV is spread only when blood, semen, or vaginal fluids from an infected person enter someone else's body. The specific behaviors that spread HIV include:
1. Sharing injection needles, syringes, or drug-use equipment with someone who is HIV-positive.
2. Unprotected (without a condom) rectal entry intercourse (anal sex) with someone who is HIV-positive. Anal sex often tears the rectal blood vessels, allowing the virus to enter the body.
3. Unprotected vaginal intercourse or oral sexual activity with someone who is HIV-positive.
Babies born to or breast-fed by women who are HIV-positive are also al high risk of contracting the virus.
Being touched, hugged, or lightly kissed by someone who is HIV-positive will not transfer the virus to you. As long as you practice the prevention behaviors you have virtually no risk of contracting the virus.
If your behavior puts you at risk for HIV infection, have a blood test six months after the risky behavior. Early diagnosis and treatment of HIV is important even before symptoms develop.
