Will it be obvious if I have AIDS? Like will I immediately know it's time to see the doctor about my symptoms? There's a gay homeless guy we let use bathroom at work, and I'm wondering if he's jorking it in the bathroom>Inb4 "we know you take it up the ass faggot"Ha ha you got me
>>34409659I find it unlikely someone'll get AIDS just by shitting on the same toilet someone with aids did, but in any case, aids by itself isn't exactly very symptomatic. It screws your body's defenses, so you'll catch diseases more frequently and have less ways of dealing with them. Major symptoms tend to occur only if the disease has progressed to a more advanced stage.If you're worried about it, go see a doctor, he'll likely tell you it's probably fine, but will solicitate a blood test just in case.
>>34409686I'm no trained medical professional and I agree with what this anon said. Also, according to a quick read, AIDS can be very manageable if antiviral medication is taken within weeks of getting infected.https://www.eatg.org/hiv-news/early-treatment-in-weeks-after-hiv-infection-may-help-better-control-virus-long-term-study-finds>The researchers found that very early treatment for two years led to controlling the virus even after treatment was interrupted.>“We show an association between early treatment and control of the infection after treatment is stopped, and our study indicates the existence of a window of opportunity to promote remission of HIV infectionhttps://www.hiv.gov/blog/early-hiv-diagnosis-treatment-important-better-long-term-health-outcomes>Starting antiretroviral treatment (ART) early in the course of HIV infection when the immune system is stronger results in better long-term health outcomes compared with delaying ART, according to findings presented at the IDWeek Conference in Washington, D.C.>The findings are based on an extended follow-up of participants in the National Institutes of Health-funded Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Treatment (START) study. In 2015, START demonstrated Exit Disclaimera 57% reduced risk of AIDS and serious non-AIDS health outcomes among participants who began ART when their CD4+ T-cell counts—a key indicator of immune system health—were greater than 500 cells per cubic millimeter (mm3) compared with those who did not begin ART until either their CD4+ counts fell below 350 cells/mm3 or they developed AIDS. Following the 2015 report of these findings, the participants in the deferred treatment arm were advised to begin ART

>>34409659If you have AIDS you will be dying, and you will certainly know about it. If you catch HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, it will quite likely give you no symptoms at all for as much as ten years, or even more, before AIDS develops.
>>34409659You're just neurotic. HIV dies extremely quickly after being outside of the human body (unless it's in a needle). If you aren't using intravenous drugs or having sex with someone you suspect might have HIV your risk is miniscule at worst. Unless there's a big pool of wet blood on the toilet and you have an open wound you're fine.
67% of HIV diagnoses are from homosexual men. 22% are from heterosexual sex. 11% are from drug use. That means 99% of HIV patients are engaging in one of those risky behaviors.
34409659>Catfag has AIDSHuh, no wonder he's been shitting up the board.
>>34410054How come it doesn't die in a needle?
>>34410192Probably because it's not exposed to air.
>>34410200What the fuck?
>>34410207What?
>>34410275What's in air that can kill diseases?
>>34410317I think it's because it dries out.
>>34410342How do you dry out aids?
>>34410352The blood dries out and the virus can't survive without moisture.
>>34410496That actually makes sense. Kinda
