Since this is a RELIGIOUS website. Let’s cut to the chase and get to the religious aspect of this;
If you follow the rules that our religion has set for us, you will not at all be at risk for this disease, or any other for that matter.
Long ago, people used to get diseases from blood transfusions. The chance of this happening in our present day is 0. Also, in school mostly, there is a common misconception that you can’t get any of these diseases from saliva. This is absolutely incorrect. You CAN get HIV, along with other diseases from saliva. For all of those who have had the same gay guy who comes into your classroom to teach you about aids and why “its not bad to be gay” or that you can have sex “aslong as you use protection”: you might have also had one person ask “can you get aids from kissing?” and the homo in the front of the room said “no, no you cannot!” he was wrong. You absolutely can, for some reason it’s kept in the closet. This might be because the chances of this happening are extremely small. However, that doesn’t change the fact that is it still very much possible and has been documented. For reasons beyond me, some of you will try to refute this and you may even go google it and paste a link to a site that was published by the homo himself. Plain and simple, you are incorrect. It is CLEARLY stated in the sixth edition of Benjamin Cumming’s “human biology”, chapter 43 that you CAN get aids from saliva. There are also numerous articles on http://www.medscape.com/.
The most valuable and only important thing I said was: If you follow the rules that our religion has set for us, you will not at all be at risk for any STD.

Its actually not the quantity of salvia that causes you to get it. It's what’s IN the sample of saliva. I'm curious where you heard that.
[quote author=Marianne87 link=board=13;threadid=2231;start=0#msg34074 date=1123041003] just a little correction...it's transferred through the blood not the milk, the blood of the mother is connected directly to the baby during birth, so the child will be born with the disease, because there is a transefer back and forth of blood between the mother and the child.
Not true. Breast milk on its own can cause you to get this disease. If a baby, born from an uninfected mother nurses from a mother who is infected, the chances they will get infected are extremely high. Any bodily fluid harbors this disease because it carries lymphocytes.

Hi all I just thought I better add something because Not all what mark said is actually true. The chance of anyone contracting HIV from blood products is DEFINATELY NOT 0...... this occurs and some health professionals as a result of needle stick injuries contract the virus. If the blood was not screened adequately....it is possible to contract the virus from a blood transfusion.
About contracting HIV from saliva...... that again is NOT correct. I have not heared about it or come across the book you quoted and wonder if it is a Medical textbook, and don't believe everything you read on the internet.
This is from the Oxford Textbook of Medicine:
"it is unlikely that salivary transmission of HIV can occur. The available evidence suggests that the HIV resides in the cellular fraction of oral fluid, CD4+ T cells and macrophages, and not the fluid fraction originating mostly from the salivary glands." I hope it helps

The quote you provided even proves that your statement is incorrect. It says it is UNLIKELY to contract it. Just because it’s unlikely doesn’t mean it won’t happen, and doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen.
And lastly the book I used as a reference is highly credible and I suggest you pick it up if you’re interested in the topic. In the event you still feel it’s not a worthy source I also cited medscape. Take a gander. I’m done.

nooo i hate shots im going to 7th grade next year
Guess what you have to take them or else they will keep you home till you do that's what they do in our school
thats been buggin me since forever!
can u get hiv or aids from kissing? likk i mean french kissing?
thats been buggin me since forever!
I think he was explaning that it can be transefered through the saliva...so ya...but who cares really about a kiss...or a frenck kiss or whatever it is...i am sorry guys but it's just plain ridiculous to be asking those kind of questions...in every way shape and form...HIV/Aids come from sin, so ya...i guess don't be worrying so much about a disease...worry so much about the sin in itself
P.S. Sry marianne.. i just wanted to correct u ;)
So yes, its not 0% maybe its 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% and seeing as the limit as X approaches 0 is 0. I’ll stick to saying the chances are 0. You do know that donated blood is screened several times, right? I can only quote myself…

Hi sorry to keep on about it but really its not directed against anyone in particular. Its all about Communicating available Medical Evidence from an Accurate source e.g. Oxford Textbook of Medicine OR even better some of the other more specialised books in the field.
It is not 0, and not o.ooooooo1. The chance of contracting HIV from needlestick is 0.01%. If you take the whole community of medical professionals then its still a significant number.
Although blood is screened thouroughly, mistakes do happen and also in poorer countries the process may not be perfect.
Its true HIV/AIDS is a sexually transmitted infection, and also through Intravenous drug abuse. But there are other Clear modes of transmission, and It is NOT right to put everyone in the same boat. It can NOT be transmitted through saliva...... However, I will consult a friend who is a Consultant in the field and will put the definitive answer

HIV and AIDS are spread more in Africa than Asia and mostly eastern Asia has more HIV and AIDS! Well, we can all thank God that we don't have it or are immuned to it! May the Lord help us all!
I mant that therere contigoues( it spread ) like wen you have a fever then some1 else gets it cause your breath hit his-her mouth
My Dad said that doctors cant know if you have HIV only after 8 years of it(youre contegious)--((probably your family has hiv and aids too))--(((maybe all your friends have it now too)))<My point is that until doctors find out you've had probably made more than 5000 people sick now>
Hi Actually John there are Fundamental mistakes with what you have written... Sorry but your Dad is Absolutely Incorrect. If someone contracts HIV, there are available blood tests and again you would do the test after 6 month of the incident...it will show whether or not a person has contracted the virus... It is NOT like a fever, and a person will not get the virus from, lets say, shaking hands with someone who has... This is incorrect Medically.
Just goes to show how little is known about this in the community

uhhh....NO...there is no such thing as that....and as DrFMFIssa explained to you that this was incorrect.
Guess what it's called...Sexual transmitted disease, and the whole thing was started from gay people...so ya guys the disease started as a result of sin, I know it can be transmitted through blood...but the whole thing was a result of SIN...I bet no one can argue that...so don't keep repeating urselves.
