If you are a carrier of HIV, does that mean you have the virus.?!
Question: Yes.
If that is the case, you have HIV. You do not, however, have AIDS. HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS. There is no "carrier" about it...you have the disease.
Many people, who are HIV positive, live long, healthy and happy lives. Thanks to newer and better medications, people are going much longer before developing full blown AIDS (look at Magic Johnson).
If you have been tested and it has been confirmed that you do have HIV, you can transmit it to another person via direct body fluid contact. You cannot transmit it through casual contact.
If you are...or know someone who is...education is the key to protecting yourself. Learn all you can about the disease. Also, one final point...HIV is not the death sentence it used to be. Remember that.

The highest incidence of transmission now belongs to heterosexuals between the ages of 16 and 23. That is a scary thought.

A carrier has the HIV virus. It may not be actively producing symptoms but it is there.
yes, if you are a carrier of HIV, it means that you carry the virus but there are no symptoms and signs of the AIDS seen. You walk,sleep, sit, laugh and do everything you had without fallin sick.
u may have the full virus particle or u may have only part of it. and you may be having AIDS or you may not as well.
