Is it true that they can get rid of AIDS in the first 48 hours?!


Question: There is not enough data, but it has been my experience that people I have worked with that have been exposed to the fluid of someone who is HIV+ and who have gotten the PEP treatment have not tested positive. There is also questions about the time frame, I have heard anything from 36 hours up to 72 hours. The earlier the better.

no

AIDS is caused by a virus and once you have this virus there is no way to get rid of it yet.

i dont know where you heard that but once you get it there is no cure.

no, you can't get rid of it, but you can prevent infection by taking anti-retrovirals for a month after possible exposure. ussually they're only given to health care workers or rape victims though. (as in, they don't hand out these very dangerous drugs after every one night stand)

oh, and it's only between 70 and 80% effecive anyway

no not at all. 1st of all u get HIV at 1st, it then screws up r body and then u get AIDs. AIDS is a virus and viruses cannot b cured.

First of all AIDS is Acquired Human Immunodefiency Syndrome, the virus that causes it is HIV Human Immunodefiency Virus. In order for a person to get AIDS they have to get really sick meaning the virus kills of thier immune system and they can't fight off infections. There is no getting rid of HIV, once you contract it you have it. There is post exposure prophylaxis (medications) for individuals who for example get stuck by a needle containg the blood of some one with HIV. This will hopefully prevent them from getting the virus. At this time there is no cure for HIV. The best thing to do is to prevent it by using condoms and not sharing needles. The medications for people who have HIV simply keep the virus at bay and in turn thier immune systems work better. These medications can prevent people from progressing to AIDS.

It's impossible to say. People have gotten emergency prophylaxis after exposure, but there's not enough data. Not everyone who is exposed to the virus gets it, so there is no proof that taking the meds prevents you from getting it. The meds are not well tolerated, so many people choose not to try therapy.
