DOES HIV cause AIDS??!


Question: The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what you call it...it destroys the immune system and kills people. If haven't seen an immune compromised patient then you probably sit behind a desk and think up arguments while doing research versus actually treating patients.

HIV is the virus that causes aids.

Yes HIV is the virus that causes aids. But people can use drugs to prevent aids and still be HIV positive.

Why , you think you have AIDS ?

HIV is AIDS...... It is just the premature stage.... Either way, if you have HIV... you are gonna get aids... It is already developing as we speak... If you don't have it, then....good for you... But no, it doesn't CAUSE it ... It IS it..

that is the widely held belief by most health care professionals.

Yes, HIV is like what comes before aids. When you are HIV positive you have to take like 20 pills daily. But when you have AIDS you are dying.

Yes HIV is what causes AIDS - though how long it takes to develp AIDS will depend on what meds you are on and how well you take care of yourself.

yes; HIV is the name of the virus (Human immunodeficiency virus) that causes the AIDS, the disease. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV for more information

Duhhhh??? Yeah. HIV leads to AIDS. It dosent cause AIDS. AIDS is the final destination of HIV.
Causes of HIV are:
1. unprotected sex with an HIV infected person
2. Sharing needles, Razor with an HIV infected person
3. Blood tranfusion where the needle wasnt sterilised and was previsouly used on an HIV infected person.

the first form of AIDS is HIV. so, yes! HIV is what its called when its in its dormant phase. If you have AIDS, your FUC*ed!! and yes you can get AIDS by being around people who have AIDS!

HIV is the original virus....if it doesn't stay dormant then it can become what they call "full-blown AIDS" acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. People can live their entire lives with HIV,,,AIDS, however, is a different matter.

hiv kills the immune system and AIDS is a combination of illnesses that will eventually kill you these are called opportunistic illnesses
aids stands for acquired immune desease syndrome

Yes, I have never heard of anyone having aids without first having HIV,although not everyone with HIV gets aids.

Yes.

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV positive people show signs of having been exposed to the HIV virus. It doesn't mean that person will necessarily contract AIDS, which is known to take up to 16 years to develop.

HIV patients take a variety of medications to strengthen the immune system and prevent the onset of AIDS.

AIDS patients usually die from common infections, like pneumonia, that the body cannot fight given their immune deficiency.
