Becky Kuhn, M.D., describes the symptoms of AIDS. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the symptoms include: * "rapid weight loss" * "dry cough" * "recurring fever or profuse night sweats" * "profound and unexplained fatigue" * "swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck" * "diarrhea that lasts for more than a week" * "white spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat" * "pneumonia" * "red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids" * "memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders"
If you have one or more of these symptoms, does it necessarily mean you are infected with HIV or have developed AIDS? No. Many common diseases can cause one or more of these symptoms. For example, most people with a fever or sore throat are probably just experiencing common illnesses such as the cold, influenza, or mononucleosis. A person is only diagnosed if they are confirmed HIV+ and also either have a CD4 count under 200 or have an opportunistic infection that is indicative of a weakened immune system. So don't panic. But if you have any of these symptoms and think theres even the slightest chance you might ever have been exposed to HIV, you should see a doctor and ask to be tested for HIV. Remember, the CDC recommends that all adults be tested for HIV regardless of whether they believe they have any risk factors or exposure to HIV and regardless of whether they have any symptoms of HIV/AIDS. Get tested!

This comment sadly highlights the continuing existence of stigmatization of people based on their sexual orientation and/or HIV status. No stigmatizing language please. Second, your claim that all gay people are HIV+ or have AIDS is simply false. Third, be careful in presuming you speak for God or know his will. Your stigmatizing language and lack of love and compassion raises questions about your ability to perceive His will. Also, remember that heterosexuals, infants, and others get HIV too.
This is Eric; I'm not a doctor. Watch our video "Some Ways You Can Contract HIV and the Risk of Each One." Anal sex is one of the highest risk sexual practices for the transmission of HIV. There is no GUARANTEE you can have oral, vaginal, or anal sex with a person who is HIV+ without possibly contracting HIV. Even a condom doesn't guarantee you won't contract HIV, although it greatly reduces the risk. How about holding off on sex and tackling the larger issues in your life like "running away"?
